Emptying the Water Container

Condensed water is collected in the water
container.
Empty the water container after every use. Not
doing so will affect the drying performance.

5 Clean the residual lint using vacuum cleaner or

washing under running water. NOTE
• If the water container is full, the E icon glows
and a chime will sound while the appliance is
operating. If this should occur, the water
container needs to be emptied within the next
hour.
• When the condensed water is drained out
directly through the optional drain hose, there is
no need to empty the water container.
• Dry the filter completely if the filter is moist.
Failure to do so, odour may occur in the
appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Errors and malfunctions may occur when operating the appliance. The following tables contain possible
causes and notes for resolving an error message or malfunction. Read the tables below carefully in order
to save time and money before calling the LG Electronics service centre.

Before Calling for Service

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems
at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following
tables before calling to LG Electronics service centre.

to dry. • Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items
take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the
sensor because the light items dry faster.

Large load of heavy fabrics.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more
moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for
large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a
consistent size.

Appliance controls are not set properly.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper
drying.

Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the lint removed,
hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some
loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may
be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.

problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance
and efficiency.

Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper
tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using Sensor Dry
programmes, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of
the load and may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or add
some extra wet clothes to the load.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used

clothes, and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the appliance can cause
poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance, use the correct
amount of fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can
transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the
appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the
washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or
rinsed according to the instructions for your washing machine and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes have dried too long (overdried).

• Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter
drying time.

Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.
• Use the Anti Crease option.

Clothes are shrinking. Garment care instructions are not being followed.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care
instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics
can be washed but will shrink when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no
heat setting.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Timed Drying programme for
very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap
themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and
register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying
a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and
rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp
spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry programme has completed, empty
the lint filter, then set a Timed Drying programme to finish drying the
item(s).

Odours

odour.
• The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to the appliance
inside. This kind of smell is a rubber's own smell and disappears
automatically after using the appliance several times.

Do you smell an odour during use?

• When washing the clothes, use the detergent in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations. If you use the detergent excessively not
according to the recommendations, undissolved detergent may
accumulate on the clothes and cause an odour.
• You can smell odours from the clothes if the clothes were left in the
appliance after drying or in the washing machine after washing. Unload
the clothes promptly at the end of the drying or washing cycle.
• Ensure you can smell same odour in the washing machine. If so, clean the
tub of the washing machine referring to the washing machine user
manual.
• Always take care of both lint filters clean. If any residues were left in the lint
filter after drying, it may cause odours. And also dry the lint filter
completely after cleaning.
