[LG Dryer] Electric Shock Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Let's find out more.

If you are the only one feeling a shock, it is likely static electricity. Static electricity is more common in dry weather, and the sensation can vary from person to person. The feeling of a slight shock when touching the dryer case or handle during humid summer months or with soft skin is a minor electrical discharge.

Try this.

If others also feel a shock, check if the power outlet is grounded.

→ If the outlet doesn't have a ground pin, plug the dryer into a grounded outlet. If the outlet has a ground pin, try reversing the power cord.

If you still feel a shock even when the cord is properly inserted into a grounded outlet, request service.

Caution!

The power cord must be firmly inserted. (Failure to ground the dryer may result in electric shock.)

Wait! Here are more tips.
For apartments, contact the building management office.
For houses, contact your electricity provider.
