Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Washer Will Not Turn On**
This can be caused by the power cord not being properly plugged in, a blown house fuse, or a tripped circuit breaker -
**Water Leaking**
This issue can occur due to incorrectly connected hoses, clogged house drain pipes, or oversudsing caused by using too much detergent -
**Clothes Take Too Long to Dry**
Causes can include blocked or dirty exhaust ducts, the load being improperly sorted, or a clogged lint filter -
**Odor in Washer**
This can be the result of using too much detergent, not running the Tub Clean cycle regularly, or a dirty drainage pump filter -
**Wrinkling**
Wrinkling can happen if clothes are not unloaded promptly after a cycle, if the washer is overloaded, or if hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the Energy Saver option, which adds an air dry section to reduce energy consumption during the Normal Dry cycle.
- Clean the lint filter before every load to improve airflow and drying efficiency.
- Ensure the exhaust system is free from blockages and well-maintained to prevent extended drying times and energy waste.
- Combine large and small items in the same load, ensuring clothes have room to tumble and dry properly to optimize drying efficiency.
- Use the appropriate dry level setting for different fabric types to avoid over drying, which uses unnecessary energy.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal duct is installed, it must be a specific type identified by the manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers to reduce the risk of fire.
- In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), do not operate this or any other appliance. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone and follow their instructions.
- If you detect a strange sound, a chemical or burning smell, or smoke coming from the appliance, unplug it immediately, and contact an LG Electronics Customer Information Center.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
