[LG Dryer power] The circuit breaker suddenly tripped

Troubleshooting

Does the circuit breaker suddenly trip when you use the dryer?

Dryers are appliances that consume a lot of power.
When used simultaneously with other appliances by the use of an extension cord, the power may shut down.

Try this

Is the machine’s power plug connected to an extension cord?

➔ Connect the machine’s power plug direct to a wall-mounted power outlet.

Invalid example: Connected using a multi-tab. Correct example: a single wall outlet.

Is the breaker not resetting even after the dryer has been disconnected?

➔ Have the electrical facilities inside the building inspected.

If the circuit breaker does not reset, turn off the product’s power first and then reset the circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker does not reset following this, it may be a problem with the electrical facilities inside the building, so you will need to consult the management office or electrical supply specialist.
However, if the breaker does not reset while the power is being supplied, it may be a product defect.
Ask for an inspection by an LG professional service technician.

Raising the dryer breaker

Do other appliances connected to the outlet work?

➔ Plug in a small household appliance to check if the outlet is broken.

If plugging another appliance into an outlet does not see the appliance work, it is an outlet defect.
Check with the management office or electrician for outlet defects.

Disconnect the power outlet and connect the hair dryer to check for operation

Did you put detergent in the dryer?

➔ A product inspection is necessary. Contact LG for a service technician.

If you accidentally add detergent to the dryer, the breaker may trip due to a short circuit.
Request an LG Electronics service technician to inspect your product on site.
