OPERATION
Before Use
WARNING · To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Operation Overview
1 Clean the Lint Filter
· If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into place.
2 Load the Dryer
· Make sure that clothing is pushed entirely into the drum and away from the door seal area. Clothing that gets stuck between the door and seal may be damaged or damage the seal.
· If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.
· All strings and attached belts of clothes should be well tied and secured before being put into the drum.
3 Turn on the Dryer
· Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. The display will turn on and a chime will sound.

· Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles.
6 Begin Cycle
· Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start/Pause button.
· If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the dryer shuts off and all settings are lost.
7 End of Cycle
· When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.
Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load
Always make sure the lint filter a is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your

4 Select a Cycle
· Turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown.

5 Adjust Settings
Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.

fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Woolen Items
· Always follow fabric care labels before drying woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle. Pull the items to their original shape if needed and lay them flat to finish drying.

ENGLISH

Woven and Loopknit Materials
· Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics
· Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.

Always ensure that the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.
Loading the Dryer
NOTE · For the best drying performance and most
efficient energy usage, do not overload the appliance.
General Tips
· Combine large and small items in the same load. · Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with
zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to prevent them from catching on or tangling with other clothes or damaging the lint filter.
NOTE · Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry properly.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best drying results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle. Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns · Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Rubber and Plastics · Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics such as: – Aprons, bibs and chair covers – Curtains and tablecloths – Bath mats
Fiberglass · Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass
particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you use the dryer and irritate your skin.
Fabric Care Labels · Sort and dry laundry according to care labels,
size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer. This will save energy and time and give the best drying performance.

Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, press the Options button, turn the knob to select
Control Lock, and press the 8 (OK) button. Select Off and press the 8 (OK) button.
Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required to dry clothing will be greatly increased. For more tips, see the troubleshooting charts.
Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?
A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

TROUBLESHOOTING 49

ENGLISH

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

The appliance does not heat.

Selected cycle does not use heat. · Some cycles default to unheated or air drying. Select a cycle that allows heated drying.

Water leaks.

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 Center.

The appliance runs and pauses by itself after the drying cycle finishes.

This is normal operation for the Wrinkle Care option.
· Check to see if the Wrinkle Care option has been selected. 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 runs for up to 2 hours.

Drying ended earlier than the initial control panel time.

The clothes are dried according to the Dry level or Dry mode setting.
· If the humidity or temperature in the drum reaches the product setting, the dry cycle may end earlier than the control panel time.

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 and heavy fabrics are loaded.
· 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.

Dryer 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 filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the 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.
· On models with a 3-piece lint filter, make sure to check, clean and reinstall both the inner and outer parts of the filter.

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 appliance is overloaded. · Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.

Dryer is a heat-pump model.
· Heat-pump dryer models can take longer to dry clothes. However, compared to a conventional dryer, where the heater uses much more energy than the drum motor, a heat-pump dryer uses a more efficient heat exchanger and will generally use less energy overall, even during long cycles.

Drying time is not consistent.

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.
· The drying time for a load will vary depending on the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter. An unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

50 TROUBLESHOOTING

Performance

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes dried too long (overdried).
· Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.
· Use the Wrinkle Care option. This option will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling.

Greasy or dirty spots Fabric softener used incorrectly.

on clothes.

· Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
· Only use your dryer to dry 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 dryer.
· 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 washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

Clothes are shrinking.

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 a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

Lint on clothes.

Lint filter not cleaned properly.
· Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions in the MAINTENANCE section. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Laundry not 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).

Excess static in clothes.
· Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.
· Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time.

The appliance is overloaded. · Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets. · Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Excess static in clothes after drying.

Fabric softener is not used or is used incorrectly.
· Use a fabric softener, if available, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).
· Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time. Select a lower dry level setting on the selected cycle, if necessary.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
· These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings.

ENGLISH

TROUBLESHOOTING 51

Problem
Clothes have damp spots after drying.

Possible Cause & Solution
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 Dry cycle 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 cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a Timed Dry cycle to finish drying the item(s).

Odors

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

The appliance has an unpleasant odor.

Are you using the appliance for the first time?
· The odor is caused by the rubber material inside the appliance. The odor is normal when the appliance is new and disappears after you run several cycles.

Do you smell an odor during use?
· Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent when washing clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and cause odors.
· Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to odors. Unload clothing promptly when the cycle ends.
· Keep lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors. After cleaning the lint filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.
· For ventless models, leave the dryer door open after drying, or use the magnetic door stop (on some models) to keep the door slightly ajar.
· If the odor is coming from the washer, follow the instructions in the product manual to clean the washer tub/drum.
· Periodically run the Drum Care and Condenser Care cycles following the instructions in the MAINTENANCE section.

Wi-Fi

Problem
Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network.

Possible Cause & Solution
The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly. · Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the connection process again.
Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on. · Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before connecting the appliance.
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.

52 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network.

Possible Cause & Solution
The appliance and the router are too far apart.
· If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.
During Wi-Fi setup, the app is requesting a password to connect to the product (on certain phones).
· Locate the network name which starts with “LG” under Settings > Networks. Note the last part of the network name.
– If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XX-XX-XX, enter lge12345.
– If the network name looks like LGE_Appliance_XXXX, enter XXXX twice as your password. For example, if the network name appears as LGE_Appliance_8b92, then you would enter 8b928b92 as your password. In this instance, the password is case sensitive and the last 4 characters are unique to your appliance.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute,

ENGLISH

LIMITED WARRANTY 55
regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by

56 LIMITED WARRANTY
either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https:// www.lg.com/us/support/repair- service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on “Find My Model & Serial Number”).
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty.
