LG Dryer - Reasons Why Your Dryer Won't Dry
[Narrator]If your dryer continuously shuts off during a cycle or leaves your clothes feeling damp even after a cycle, making drying times longer than normal.
It's possible that there may be a blockage or a restriction in your home exhaust system.
Blockages and restrictions in the duct work possibly caused by lint buildup and debris can prevent your dryer from running efficiently at maximum performance.
In this video, we’ll go over some of the ways that you can diagnosis and possibly remedy some of these issues to avoid calling and waiting for a service technician.
Start by making sure that your lint filter is clean and free of any blockages which could also cause a reduction and drying performance.
If you don’t see any problems with your lint filter, follow these steps for another possible solution.
Begin by starting the dryer on a normal cycle.
Go outside where the dryer is vented, and remove any visible restrictions or blockages in the vent.
Also check to see if there is air flow.
If there is no air flow or if the air flow is weak, then you may have a restriction that needs to be removed.
Next, with the dryer unplugged and turned off,Disconnect the vent from your dryer and see if there are any visible restrictions.
If there are, remove the restrictions and re-connect.
At this point, run your dryer to see if your problem has been eliminated.
Not all blockages and restrictions can easily be seen.
For instance, if the ductwork is too long or has too many bends, blockages can occur.
If this is the case, it is recommended to call a professional for duct cleaning.
Proceeding to use a dryer with blockages may create an unsafe environment.
Dryers equipped with a Flow sense system (Not available on all models, features may vary by model.) may alert you with potential duct blockages.
Continual use of the dyer while the flow sense indicator is illuminated may create an unsafe environment.
Please make sure to resolve this issue before continuing to use your dryer.
