Safety first
Stop for smoke, a burning smell, sparks, damaged wiring, standing water near power connections or a serious leak. Never touch electrical controls with wet hands, remove appliance panels, defeat interlocks, or attempt motor, compressor or refrigerant repairs. Keep clear of a moving drum; do not force a locked door or lid. Disconnect power before user maintenance if the manufacturer directs it and the plug or breaker is safely accessible. For an active leak, shut off accessible water valves only when safe.
Quick help
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer runs but laundry stays damp | Check the accessible lint filter and avoid mixing very heavy and light fabrics. This is a ventless heat-pump dryer. | Ask LG if a normal load stays wet after proper filter and loading checks. |
| Cycle time seems long | Heat-pump drying can warm more gradually than conventional dryers; time estimates may change with moisture and load size. | If the unit is not drying at all or gives a persistent warning, seek help. |
| Filter or warning message appears | Record the exact text and check only filters the owner instructions identify as user-accessible. | Ask LG for exact-model interpretation if it remains. |
| Water is seen around the unit | Stop using the appliance; do not open panels or manipulate internal refrigerant components. | Contact qualified service if there is a leak or unsafe electrical condition. |
