AI Sensor Dry® with Smart Pairing

Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles—built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right drying motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care. AI Sensor Dry® detects moisture levels and automatically adjusts drying time for loads of all sizes—no more damp clothes, no more overdrying. With Smart Pairing, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle*, making it the ultimate laundry hack.

FAQ

Q.

How often should I clean the lint filter? 

A.

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 fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Always ensure that the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer.

Q.

How can I avoid noise and vibration? 

A.

The dryer must be installed and levelled on a solidly constructed floor with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5cms). If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for uneven flooring before use.

Q.

Do LG steam dryers require a water line?

A.

LG Steam dryers do not need water connections to function as a standard clothes dryer. However in order to utilize the Steam Fresh or Turbo Steam features on these models, the dryer must be connected to a cold water tap using a new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses. A separate dedicated water tap does not need to be used for the dryer. In most cases, connect the dryer to the same cold water tap as the washing machine using the supplied Y connector. Note - all of hoses required for this installation are sold separately. See installation guide or instruction manual for details.

Q.

What does the AI Dry cycle do? 

A.

This cycle optimizes drying times and temperatures by detecting the laundry’s characteristics.

Q.

What is LG EasyLoad®?

A.

EasyLoad® is a unique, dual-opening door system on select models that lets you load and unload the way you want. The door can either swing downwards (recommended for loading, or it can also swing to the side (recommended for unloading).

Q.

Do LG top load dryers need venting?

A.

Yes. This model requires external venting via a 4" diameter metal duct. The maximum length of the dryer vent ducting should not exceed 65 ft.  To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. Please consult the owners manual for full details.

Q.

Can LG top load dryers be side vented? 

A.

The appliance can be configured to vent to the side or bottom using an adaptor kit 383EEL9001B (not included). Please refer to www.lgcanadaparts.com or your local LG appliance retailer for necessary adaptor kit. 

Q.

What is LG ThinQ® and how does it work with LG dryers?

A.

The LG ThinQ® application allows you to communicate with the appliance via a smartphone over wifi. The LG ThinQ® app offers control and convenience for smart LG appliances to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Manage and monitor your washer/dryer remotely, track and download cycles, connect with Google or Amazon Alexa voice assistants, and access smart diagnosis, customer support, and much more.
