44
EN
TROUBLESHOOTING
Performance
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain
more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more
consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of
the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the
cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic
control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and
may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
45
EN
Drying time is not
consistent.
Greasy or dirty
spots are left on
clothes.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type
of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure that
clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to
the instructions for your washing machine and detergent.
Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to
washing.
Clothes are
wrinkled.
Clothes are
shrinking.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes.
Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
• Use the
Anti Falten
option.
Garment care instructions are not being followed.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow
fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink
when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink
when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.

clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after
drying.
Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts
of lint, it may be necessary to clean the lint filter during the
cycle.
Clothes have not been sorted properly.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton
towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are
lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.
Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of clothes can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try
using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time
settings.

Clothes have
damp spots after a
Sensor Dry
programme.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such
as a blanket or comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may
have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a
Timed Drying programme for very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can
sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the
inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange
the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load
or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry
programme has completed, empty the lint filter, then set a
Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).

Odours
Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
The appliance has
an odour.
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
• The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to
the appliance inside. This kind of smell is a rubber's own
smell and disappears automatically after using the
appliance several times.
Do you smell an odour during use?
• When washing the clothes, use the detergent in accordance
with the manufacturers recommendations. If you use the
detergent excessively not according to the
recommendations, undissolved detergent may accumulate
on the clothes and cause an odour.
• You can smell odours from the clothes if the clothes were
left in the appliance after drying or in the washing machine
after washing. Unload the clothes promptly at the end of
the drying or washing cycle.
• Ensure you can smell same odour in the washing machine.
If so, clean the tub of the washing machine referring to the
washing machine user manual.
• Always take care of both lint filters clean. If any residues
were left in the lint filter after drying, it may cause odours.
And also dry the lint filter completely after cleaning.

connected to the
Wi-Fi network.
The password for the Wi-Fi that you are trying to connect
to is incorrect.
• Find the Wi-Fi network connected to your smartphone and
remove it, then register your appliance on
LG ThinQ
.
Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.
• Turn off the
Mobile data
of your smartphone and register
the appliance using the Wi-Fi network.
The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.
• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination
of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special
characters.)
The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.
• Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the
wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance to the
wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with
your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer.
The distance between the appliance and the router is too
far.
• If the distance between the appliance and the router is too
far, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be
configured correctly. Move the location of the router so that
it is closer to the appliance.
