At a Glance
If you are seeing clothing damaged from burns, or discoloration on the rear grill or duct after using your LG dryer, there are some things you should know.
Try This
➜Check the care label on clothing for drying instructions
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried on the same drying cycle.
➜Check the lint filter
If the lint filter is full or clogged, the temperature will rise higher than normal.
➜Check the drum for stains or foreign objects
Inspect the drum interior for foreign objects such as toys, papers, stains, etc.
Remove any objects and wipe away any stains with a damp cloth.
For hard to remove stains, wiping with a little bit of toothpaste on a towel will help with erasing the stains.
➜Check the dryer duct or home ductwork
If the exhaust duct or home ductwork is clogged or installed incorrectly it can restrict air flow, increasing the temperature inside the dryer.
➜Adjust the load size
If there are too many clothes in the dryer, they will not be able to tumble properly and receive the airflow needed. This can cause the clothes to push against the back of the drum where they can burn.
If the problem continues, service will be required for a proper diagnosis. Please visit our Request a Repair page for further assistance.
