[LG Dryer machine - freezing washer] How to prevent freezing/How to prevent freezing in the winter.

Troubleshooting

I want to prevent the dryer from being frozen in the winter.

When the weather becomes cold, water left in the product and the hose outside may freeze.
Because the machine will not work if the water is frozen, before the weather gets colder, you should remove any water left in the product and in the hose outside in order to prevent freezing.

Try this

Remove water from the drain hose or the drain water tray.

➔ If you are using a drain hose, face it downward to let out the water left inside the hose.

To prevent water from being frozen inside the drain hose, make sure that no curve or bend is made inside the hose.

➔ If you are using a drain tray, empty it completely.

In case of steam dryers, remove water from the water supply hose or the water supply tank.

➔ Firstly, turn off the water tap, disconnect the water supply hose, and then hang it down so as to allow the water to flow out easily.
