To troubleshoot a LG dryer, follow these steps:
1. Check power supply: Make sure the dryer is properly plugged in and receiving power. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure it hasn’t tripped or blown.
2. Check door switch: If the dryer doesn’t start, the door switch may be faulty. Inspect the switch for any damage or loose connections.
3. Clean lint filter: A clogged lint filter can cause the dryer to overheat and stop working. Remove the filter and clean it thoroughly.
4. Check venting system: A blocked or restricted venting system can cause poor drying performance. Clean the vent hose and ensure it’s properly connected.
5. Reset the dryer: Sometimes, a simple reset can solve the issue. Unplug the dryer for a few minutes, then plug it back in.
If these steps don’t resolve the problem, it’s recommended to contact a professional technician for further assistance.
If your LG dryer is running but not drying, making rattling noises, or not starting at all, it may require routine service. However, before you call a professional, you can troubleshoot the dryer yourself by inspecting certain parts that may be causing the issue. The major components of an LG clothes dryer include a timer, heating element, and a motor for rotating the drum.
Step 1
Check the dryer vent for lint and debris that may be obstructing airflow. When the vent is clogged, the dryer cannot circulate air properly.
Step 2
Make sure the LG dryer power breaker at the lighting panel is not tripped. If the dryer won’t start, an electrical disruption such as a faulty fuse or breaker could be the cause. Also, check to see if the power plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
Step 3
Inspect the inside of the dryer door and remove any lint buildup around the door’s seal that may be preventing it from closing properly. If the door switch does not make contact when the door is shut, the dryer will not start due to the safety interlock.
Step 4
If the dryer is making noise or shaking while operating, adjust the feet to make it level. The dryer feet are located at each corner of the machine. Turning them clockwise lowers the corner, while turning them counterclockwise raises it.
Step 5
If your LG dryer still does not work after troubleshooting, contact LG support at 888-542-2623 for further assistance.
