Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your LG Dryer.

Regular Cleaning

Ensure that the exterior and interior of the dryer are cleaned regularly. Use warm water and a neutral non-abrasive detergent for the exterior. For the interior, run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water to remove hard water deposits.

Proper Loading

Drain Filter Maintenance

Regularly clean the drain filter to collect threads and small objects left in the laundry. This helps in maintaining the efficiency of the dryer.

Water Inlet Hose Maintenance

Regularly check and clean the filter of the water inlet hose using a hard bristle brush. This ensures proper water intake and prevents clogs.
