[LG Dryer odor] There is an odor from the new product

Troubleshooting

The heat generated by the initial use of the dryer may produce a particular odor during drying.
Just as the interior and seats of a brand new car hold that new-car smell for 3-4 months or a year after purchase, the new dryer may temporarily possess a particular smell during initial use after purchase.
This is an odor during the initial use of the product, but after repeated uses the odor will disappear naturally.
So please feel free and comfortable using the dryer as it is not a defect.

Try this

Odors usually disappear after one month of use but can last up to three months depending on the number of uses.
※ If you want to eliminate the odor a little faster, after drying, please ventilate the surroundings with the dryer door open so that any remaining odors in the product will be dispersed.
