LG Dryers Reviews

I strongly recommend NOT ordering directly from LG.com. I spent over $2,000 on a new washer, dryer, and two pedestals. The dryer arrived dented, and after 45 minutes on the phone, LG offered me $15. The installers also scraped my newly painted walls. After ONE load, the dryer gave an "80% duct blocked" warning and said not to use it. The installers had crushed the dryer duct when they pushed the dryer into place.

We bought an LG Washer and Dryer set. After 6 months, the dryer keeps quitting in the middle of drying with a d90, plugged vent code. There is no lint in the dryer or vent. It is clear to the outside. We have followed instructions to clear the message at least three times. LG agent keeps giving us the runaround, like change the vent, then call us back. This dryer was installed by Home Depot. LG says they installed it wrong. It worked fine for 6 months. LG does not want to back up it's products or send out a repair person. I complained to BBB. LG is not approved by Better Business Bureau.

I haven't even used my new washer and dryer yet and we are already off to a bad start... After waiting two weeks for shipment/ delivery via my local authorized LG dealer, my dryer arrived with one large and one small scratch on the side of the unit- straight out of the box. I was given an on the spot choice of sending it back immediately and waiting two weeks for a replacement or a 10% discount of only $82 from LG to keep it. I had to decide on the spot and I had already been without a dryer for over a month, so I took the discount rather than wait another two weeks, but I verbally expressing my displeasure at the small discount from LG. I mean, seriously, you get up to a 50% off discount on scratch and dent items at local retailers and this came from the factory that way! Makes me nervous for what happened to cause the deep scratches...

We bought our LG dryer about 10 months ago. The lint filter and its slide tray are made from a material that is not metal and gets very tacky an sticky in the heat when using bounce dryer sheets. We have a dog which makes the lint stick to this material even more. It does not clean off easy and we clean it after every use. The rest of the dryer works well.

LG dryer is the worst dryer I ever had! And the lg guarantee does not work since they ask you to do a professional cleaning before coming to check! Do not buy this!!

Had a LG gas dryer delivered last weekend. Already had troubles with the clothes not drying after being in dryer for 2 hours!!! Called 4 times and spoke with 4 different agents. Wanted them to send someone to my house because the sensor light which indicates linen/debris trapped in vent, Was permanently blinking. The only thing wrong with that is that we just had a vent cleaning company come out and clean out all debris from the vent yesterday! Today I put a smaller load of "permanent press" clothing on that cycle and it has taken an hr and a half for that load, which is still damp. This is the worst piece of crap I have ever purchased.

Brought it home. Hooked it up. Shot fire out of the bottom in the front under the drum. Kicked the breaker. Tried again. Did the same. Checked all wiring to power cord. All was good. Had to return to Lowe's. Not sure how LG has went downhill over the last few years. Had a bad washer not long ago.

If I could give less than 1 star then I would. My wife and I bought an LG dryer at the beginning of April. Right off the bat, it didn't work properly. It would start, run for approximately 5 minutes, then shut off. We contacted LG, who sent out a technician (during the week; I had to take off work). The technician came to the house, spent less than 5 minutes on the machine, and stated he fixed the problem and left. The dryer still didn't work. We contacted LG again, who stated they'd send another tech - WEEKS LATER. Where we, again, had to take off work. The tech, AGAIN, stayed for maybe 5 minutes, stated he had resolved the issue (we needed to purchase an indoor ventihilation system), and left. Guess what? Dryer still didn't work - even after purchasing the indoor vent!

Really unhappy with LG, seven months after purchase, the dryer went out, barrel still turned, but no heat no dryer! Since I was less than a year, I contacted LG and worked with their staff, they assessed it remotely. I followed their recommendations and the dryer still didn’t work. Finally, I went to Home Depot and the Home Depot people help me set something up to get the dryer fixed! It should not take all day dealing with these companies to get something repaired that cost over well over $1000! I am fed up with LG as a company and the way they dealt with me, and if they had somebody that’s older, how would they deal with this? Very very disappointed! I certainly hope I can get this resolved soon! Interestingly enough, it’ll be Home Depot that will help me with all this! Mind you I bought the five-year extended repair contract as well, especially since there’s a lot of computer issues potentially!

Apparently, Korea, by way of China, is determined to fill American dumps with substandard machines. I had an original LG Dryer for 20 years, and decided to get a new one when a computer disc went out. This new one sucks! Why do I have to run the clothes through 2 hour long cycles to get them dry? Why doesn't speed-dry dry anything? I am so disappointed in this. More than ½ of the many cycles are worthless. They truly do not have a function. The drum just turns, but no heat. That is unforgivable with a gas dryer. Did something get lost in translation? No longer!

In December 2025 we purchased an LG washer and dryer. Our dryer model is DLGX8981V serial model 509KWHX11193. The dryer is the worst dryer we have ever had. For a small load it takes 2 cycles on delicate and then 2 cycles on permanent press for the clothes to even begin to feel dry. Our home is a new build and does not have an accumulation of lint like they have asked during the call. I have called LG twice about our situation. They run tests and claim the unit is producing enough heat. It takes forever to dry clothes unless you choose a high heat option and then your clothes shrink a little. If you are buying this dryer to dry towels or bed sheets you will be fine for anything else good luck! Definitely don’t recommend this dryer!

Worst service experience I’ve ever had. Purchased a new dryer from Lowe’s model LG – DLG6101W. Two weeks after purchasing started making a loud ratcheting noise that has progressed to get worse. Over three weeks. Customer service has put me through multiple testing procedures refusing to send out a technician. Only after returning back to Lowe’s, was I able to get a technician to come out and make a repair. They have been to my home four times between April and May. Replacing multiple parts on a brand new dryer.

Burning inside after two or three, no return or exchange.

We purchased our LG electric dryer from Lowe’s. My clothes ALWAYS come out very wrinkled. I will never purchase this model/brand again. We purchased as a pair and the washer works fine. I will never purchase another LG appliance again.😡

Purchase an LG washer and dryer pair from Lowe’s. Within one month, Water was coming out from underneath the washer and a tech was set to repair it. Two months later, or three months after purchase the dryer went out. It went out again at the 11 month point (motor) and since I bought it with a specific credit card, I got an extra year of warranty included. In that next year, nine service visits, correct, that was nine service visits took place to repair all the failures. We were done and went back to Lowe’s who worked with us with a large discount to purchase another LG dryer for they told us this was an anomaly and LG was a good dryer brand. Now, we’ve had the dryer a year and it’s down again.

LG washer/dryer combo. Purchased this in 2024. I was told towel and sheets would take long dry time but for the compact of condo living I opted for this and being one person I felt it would be ok. Towels meaning 1 bath, few hand towels and washcloth takes without exaggeration almost 7 hours to dry. And then I put in three workout shirts and one pair of pajamas and they were dried and it kept updating the time. I’ve had more troubles with this I’ve had within the Warranty problems and now I’ve had Best Buy come out with the extended warranty. This will be my third time this week. The other thing with dishwasher and dryer is that you cannot get to clean out the entire trap without taking the whole thing apart which means you have to pay somebody to come and do that. So I hope it’s helpful for someone else. I would not recommend this item.

Let's just say I would not recommend or purchase these LG products Washer WT8405CW and Dryer DLE8400WE. Assuming a man designed these that does not do laundry on a regular basis. The biggest issue is preset settings that are not functional. If you are looking for Washer/Dryer set that you can manually adjust to your preferred setting these are not the units you want. There is no flexibility on water level. It's either preset with minimal water that in some cases does not even cover your clothes or Deep Wash which is an excessive amount of water that is not always necessary for medium loads.

Just bought a dryer a couple days ago from Home Depot. It's an LG gas dryer, took about 2 1/2 - three hours to dry a load of laundry, called within the 48-hour window, wanted to refund so we can purchase a different one from Home Depot. They said they would not exchange it out or would they consider a refund? This is the worst appliance company I've ever dealt with. They are absolutely terrible. We filed a complaint with the near state Attorney General's office as well as the Better Business Bureau. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy, or customer service skills are terrible! I will be sharing my poor experience on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. If you look at the other people's reviews, they all fall in line. This company is terrible! I would give it negative stars if it would allow me to!!

I have LG dryer model DLEX4000B and I just want everyone to know that it sucks. To dry my bed sheets I have to turn it on at least 4 times constantly having to mess with the setting because it just pretends to be done when the stuff inside are still very wet. It does not dry jeans either. I should have kept my dryer from 2005 because it wired better than this one ever will.

So disappointed with the LG dryer we purchased several months ago. We’ve tried to get LG to come and look at it to no avail. They keep saying it’s plugged in the vent outside. It isn’t. We had Stanley Steemer come out and clean out the vent. A couple of months later, our HOA had all the vents cleaned out. The dryer will work for a month and then starts giving a signal indicating the flow vent is clogged. We are tired of not being listened to by LG and their unwillingness to do anything about it. We are heading back to RC Willey to purchase a new dryer, one that is not LG. And are very excited to have RC Willey haul off this piece of junk and do with it what they will as long as we don’t have to keep dealing with it.

We bought an LG gas dryer and it is the worst ever! I have read the book several times, using different settings and my laundry is never dry when the bell sounds. A real pain to deal with damp clothes. Would never recommend this product.

NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. They sent us a lemon--circuit board didn't work, so they replaced it. Still didn't work. They suggested the WE check our electric. We did--no problem. We asked that they replace it, and they said they needed to have it serviced THREE TIMES before they would consider that, and then never sent another person out. We have called, texted, live chatted...and nothing. We have been without a dryer for FIVE WEEKS. If you choose them, you are rolling the dice.

I would love to give this dryer a negative star but since you can’t I’ll give it a 1. Worst dryer I have ever owned, cuts off constantly with the flow sensor warning. I have had my lint hose checked professionally twice and it is not clogged. LG does nothing to fix it, just tells me it must be clogged. When I dry my towels it takes literally the entire day, it consistently stops and I have to restart. Worst dryer I have ever had, I do not recommend.

The LG thin Q ventless dryer is the worst piece of machinery that probably has ever been made. I spent like 800 or $900 not even three years ago and it literally dries nothing. In fact I will wash the clothes on extra spin so they’re barely damp and I might put three pairs of workout pants (stretch pants) and maybe two tank tops and It was is going in the machine for six hours straight and the clothes literally are wetter than they were when I put them in. The company is useless and doesn’t do any troubleshooting unless you pay for it which is interesting that you have a machine that literally doesn’t do what you pay paid for it to do and then they want you to pay to fix it. Do not, do not, do not, do not buy this machine. It is a piece of garbage.

Model DLGX7801WE stopped working after only 3.5 years. They wanted to charge a FIXED fee to inspect and to cover any parts, which was a third the cost of the dryer. Going with a local repair service to fix.

Life is Not Good .. I bought a new dryer LG ThinQ last year. And now I have to replace the sensors. If that doesn’t work I have to replace the main panel. I called customer service and they said they could make an appointment for service but I would have to pay ..

We bought a LG dryer model DLE6100W at Lowe's. We have talked to customer service, I know it is not their fault. It does not dry the clothes. We use the MANUAL DRY/HIGH TEMP, set for one hour and 10 minutes later it turns off. So we have to baby sit it until our clothes are dry. LG, please take ownership and help us fix the problem. For FREE!!

DLEX7700WE, Would not buy again, would NOT recommend. Will not dry, constantly switches off before dry and running manually trips. D90 air flow error. Have had the vents professionally cleaned all to no avail. Stick with a Whirlpool or some other brand. LG "Lucky Goldstar" continues to fail even basic expectations on pretty much every product.

On June 13, 2025, I was promised by LG Electronics that they would provide a specific part for self-repair on my LG dryer. I was required to sign a legal document agreeing to their terms in order to receive this part. Since that date, no part has been sent, and LG has repeatedly failed to follow through on their commitment.

This is the 2nd time I needed to buy control boards. The first one was my washing machine like 5 yrs ago after three years old. The second is now my clothes dryer. Just after the two years and the warranty period ended last month. LG would not budge on me needing to pay $300.00 for a service tech. So I purchased various items before ordering the main control board myself for $297.00 and voila it started working again. Diagnosed on dryer said TE. Which is the temperature sensor but lo and behold it was the main control. The most expensive item to buy. If the diagnosis would have told me that from the beginning it would have saved me a lot of time and money getting the right part first hand. I will not be buying LG anything anymore and don’t recommend.

I have to agree with all the other reviews, DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU JUST HAVE MONEY TO THROW AWAY. One year will go by so fast and if you don't renew your warranty, you will find yourself paying out the yingyang. Don't know why I didn't buy my old faithful WHIRLPOOL. Anyways, I purchased the DLHC55028 January 14, 2025. The first dryer I received the door was broken, and I was sent out a new dryer. Weeks after I received it, the new dryer door will not stay closed. I thought someone was opening it up and rummaging through it. Now when I come back to check on the dryer, the door is open after close it multiple times, and my damp clothes are hanging out of the dryer on the floor.

We have a 3 year old LG gas dryer that stopped working. We have had 5 appointments and have spent hundreds of dollars and no one can repair it. LG does not respond to email or phone calls. This is no way to treat a long standing customer who has bought 5 dryers from you

LG DLE7150W. Half the time the sensor does not work. The dryer turns off and the clothes is still damp. Run it again, it stops. Clothes still damp. Then I have to run it on manual dry. Other times, the clothes is dry and the dryer does not shut off. I have 2 clients that have LG washer and dryer, same issues. Just garbage.

For the past 3 1/2 years my LG dryer has been great, however yesterday, one month short of 4 years the inside dryer glass door imploded. Glass was all around clothes. Thank goodness I was home or if it kept running my clothes would all have been shredded. I read some similar reviews and noticed both washers and dryers can do this. I will never buy another LG appliance.

We had a very negative (actually terrible) experience with our purchase of the LG ventless dryer (model DLHC1455W). I don’t think anyone should buy this dryer, or any other appliance from LG. The dryer kept tripping the circuit breaker (which was brand new and up to code under our state law.). We paid an electrician to trouble-shoot and even put in a new breaker. The dryer wouldn’t work. LG kept telling us to replace the (code) GFCI breaker with one that is not up to code in my state. No licensed electrician will do that. The dryer (in my state) will not work. By definition, is defective. LG refused to honor its warranty obligations. My claim was escalated to a senior level over 7 weeks ago. Multiple times I have been promised a phone call within 48 hours. We had to replace the dryer at great expense to ourselves. I am left sad and wish someone from LG would reach out to me.

Brutal customer service. Read the fine print on their warranty (10 years it highlights is a joke). Should have still been covered, but days after warranty apparently expired, the dryer started smoking (internal fire from drum motor). 3 months later, after several calls with LG “customer service” and a lot of runaround where I have been constantly chasing them down when they’re supposed to get back to me. No replacement, no repairs, no service. So done with LG.

Bought an LG dryer 2 yrs old and making a lot of noise. I replaced all the rollers, belt and tensioner. And still making a lot of noise when running. Found out the belt is hitting the side panel. Call up customer service and they want to charge for service call. I will get rid of lg. Poor quality.

We bought a LG Dryer Model number: DLEX3700V in 2020. The machine is not heavily used. Not even 5 years of owning this dryer we had issues with TE1 code- thermistor. We called LG- they recommended a repair company we paid almost $400 CAD- it took almost 2 weeks for the issue to be sorted out. The thermistor was replaced and the board. Now not even 6 months after the repair, we have the same code again. We have called LG customer service- only thing they can offer is a $50 CAD discount on their repair package where they send you to one of their recommended repair company. We have followed all the recommended maintenance for the machine- we regularly clean our vents, clean the dryer ducts and have a lint box and added a flapper to our vent and still have the same issue. I do not recommend buying this dryer. Stay away if you can. They do not make things to last.

The LG electric dryer does not work properly, and the customer service is not helpful. The D80, D90, and D95 errors consistently appear, signaling a blockage in the vent. I have paid hundreds of dollars to get my vents clean (twice) and the error keeps appearing. I have disassembled the dryer to thoroughly clean the inside. I called the LG help number and spoke to uncaring people. I had two simple questions for customer service, neither of which they would answer: (1) what is the cost of a service call, and (2) if get a service call, is there a guarantee on the work performed? Before buying this item, I strongly encourage you to conduct an internet search to learn of many other individuals encountering the same problem. On the positive side, the LG washer is so far fine.

I bought an LG ThinQ washer and dryer in 2024. The washer is great; the dryer is the worst I have ever had. 1) The preset cycles do not allow you to choose the temperature you would like. Example: towel cycle only dries on the highest heat, which is not good for any material. 2) The sensor is worthless; some loads don't completely dry even if I reset the machine to dry again. Other loads continue to dry for up to 25 minutes after being completely dry. 3) The permanent press cycle will dry well only if all fabrics are identical in weight/type, but it doesn't do a cool down. The clothes come out warm which negates the reason for a permanent press cycle! The repairman says the sensor is fine, as is the computer board. The factory confirmed this, so it is a defect that the company won't acknowledge.
