drying programme. · When you press the button, the appliance
ventilates the inside of the drum for 10 seconds in order to get the appliance
ready for drying operation.
· Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. When the filter is full
with lint, drying times will be longer than usual.
· Pull out the water container and empty the condensed water. When the water
container is full, the appliance may stop during the cycle.
NOTE · In some instance, LED window may display E
icon to inform you that the water container is full. If this occurs, empty the

container.
Checking the Clothes before Loading
CAUTION
· Check that the clothes are not stuck between appliance and door, or the
clothes may get damaged while drying.
7 To help reduce odours from forming, the
dryer’s door can be left open or slightly ajar for a short period of time if
possible to help ventilate the drum after use.
WARNING
· For safety reasons, do not allow children or animals to enter the appliance.
It may cause damage or injury.
NOTE
· The final part of a tumble dry cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the clothes are left at a temperature that ensures the clothes
will not be damaged.
· A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase drying
time as well as energy consumption.
· Observe the maximum load capacity on the programme table for the relevant
drying programme to get optimum drying results. Overloading gives a poor
drying result and causes unnecessary creasing.
· Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. Doing so will increase
the drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that the clothes are spun
thoroughly in the washer before loading them in the dryer.
· A mixed fabric load can cause the drying time to be extended and the time
remaining in the display to pause during active drying until the actual time
remaining matches the time displayed.
· Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.

TROUBLESHOOTING 29
Symptoms Appliance does not heat.
Water leaks.
Appliance runs and pauses by itself after the drying cycle finishes.
Possible Cause & Solution
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.
The water container hose or the optional drain hose is not connected
correctly.
· Connect the water container hose or the optional drain hose correctly.
The door is closed while clothes or foreign substance is caught in the door.
· Check if clothes or foreign substance is caught in the door before using the
appliance. If water leaks continuously, contact the LG Electronics Customer
Information Centre.
This is how the anti crease option works.
· Make sure that the anti crease option has been set. The option is designed
to prevent creases that are formed when the clothes are not unloaded promptly
after the drying cycle. When the option is set, the appliance runs for 10
seconds and pauses for 5 minutes. The option is works for up to 2 hours.
Performance
Symptoms
Clothes take too long to dry.
Possible Cause & Solution
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.
30 TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms Clothes take too long to dry.
Drying time is not consistent. Greasy or dirty spots are left on clothes.
Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes are shrinking.
Possible Cause & Solution
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.
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 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 Crease 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 31
ENGLISH
Symptoms
Possible Cause & Solution
Lint is left on clothes.
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.
Excess static in clothes after drying.
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).
32 TROUBLESHOOTING
Odours
Symptoms
The appliance has an odour.
Possible Cause & Solution
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.
