Follow these easy steps to get your LG Electronics DLG2251W Dryer up and running in no time.
Carefully remove the dryer from its packaging. Ensure all packing materials, including tape, are removed from the dryer drum and other surfaces.
Select a suitable location for the dryer that is well-ventilated and free from dust and lint. Ensure the floor is level and strong enough to support the weight of the dryer.
For an electric model, ensure the power cord is securely connected to a grounded outlet with the appropriate voltage and amperage. For a gas model, ensure the gas line is properly connected and secured.
Properly install the vent duct to the dryer vent outlet. Ensure the duct is not crushed or kinked, which could restrict airflow. Use a flexible metal vent or a rigid metal vent for best results.
Adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the dryer to ensure the unit is stable and level. Use a carpenter’s level to check the balance from front to back and side to side.
Once installed, run the dryer on a test cycle without any clothes to ensure it is operating correctly. Listen for any unusual noises and check that the drum is rotating smoothly.
Check that all connections are secure and that the dryer is functioning as expected. Ensure there are no gas leaks if applicable, and that the dryer door opens and closes properly.
