Searching for reasons that our LG dryer (relatively new) wasn't drying completely and found this. We had replaced the lint screen multiple times and cleaned it before every load. Pulled out the lint screen and looked inside - OMG - I thought the lint in the video was a lot!! Will be checking under the lint screen more often now. Hoping the next load actually dries in one cycle!
There is 4 screws and that pieces comes right off so you can clean under there. Definitely worth it to take it off because it's so hard to clean through the tiny slot.
If its that full of lint, Your better off removing the interior plastic that your reaching through and clean it out correctly, including the bottom elbow.
I have this model the item in the left hand corner of the dryer do you know what it's called I need to replace whatever is suppose to go into it I opened it up and it was missing
I did everything you just did in this video with my lent lizard and my tromm lg dryer is still stopping 1 minute after turning on. Any other suggestions?
I hate these new school washer dryers, I prefer Speed Queen, made right, still in Ripon Wisconsin. Seems like most laundry appliances are either rebranded GE stuff or Euro/Asian stuff at inflated prices. Not to say the Speed Queen are inexpensive, but they are commercial quality, just like laundromats use and will run forever, almost like the legendary Maytag's used to. Good find though, dryers are funny things, we all use them and it uses a ton of energy, and wears out our clothes faster too.
The Speed Queens made after 2018 suck. They don't agitate the clothes anymore and they don't get them clean. I had decided on getting one until I saw videos of the new ones showing how bad they are at cleaning clothes now. I'll stick with my 20 year old Whirlpool for as long as I can keep it repaired. So far all I've had to do with it is replace the agitator dogs.
@@Rebel9668 Oh I agree, this newer junk, out with them fancy DC motors and more computing power than needed. What ever happened to a synchronous timer motor? I have some spare agitator dogs for an 1984 Kenmore still cranking out the chores every wash day. It uses a ton of water too... perfect
Spot on. I'm not a fan of these new front loading units. I prefer the standard "old school" top loading Washers, and the basic Dryer. They do a way better job and they are not so over engineered they last long and are easy to repair when needed. Side note... These units are at my Mother in law's home, she has a love hate relationship with them, she loves how much she spent on them, but kind of dislikes their performance....LOL!
There is a sensor strip on the front of the lint filter housing, try cleaning it off with something abrasive like comet or Ajax powder cleansers. I believe the wax from the dryer sheets build up over time and mess with the resistance that the sensor strips need to read. (ie moisture). I must be honest, we no longer use these units and now use Top loading bottom of the line Maytag washer and old school Maytag dryer, the performance is WAY better. GOOD RIDDANCE FRONT LOADING JUNK. Cheers.
i done all that still never dry so i used a volt meter it shows good but can't read the load . last thing i did wire from breaker box to outlet change it after never had a problem after that wire was over 27 years old
I have the same brand. Even though your vent pipe might be clean all the way. You still need to take out the front door, reach the blower assembly and you won't believe how much lint is packed in there. You did good but you need to do more to prevent fires. Thanks for your video anyway.
Just got a new LG set in mid December and the dryer does not work. You can set it for 59 minutes and it goes to four minutes and shuts off. We have purchased a lint cleaning tool that goes to all of the venting and there’s nothing in there it’s clean on both sides. It hasn’t been used enough to have any buildup. I believe the sensors are faulty and I personally just want them to take it away and refund my money.
@@jean-marckouassi7604 those idiots have a sensor in the front of the dryer that's looking for wet clothes to hit it. I've been dealing with this for two months. try washing something large like a comforter. I did that and it ran the whole cycle with no issues. I'm going to lower the front of it so that the small loads hit the sensor
@@breakerbroke23 I'd love to hear how powerful the airflow on the dryer is. If there's a way you can test the temperature on the normal cycle, can you do a video of the temperature test? I'd be very interested in seeing the degrees in Fahrenheit the target temp on the 41 minute normal cycle will be.
@@jeromedavis8575 We now have upright top loading Maytag Washer and front load dryer... WAY better than these LG units. We can wash bigger loads and the old school front load Dryer drys so much better. Yea, IMHO these fancy front loaders are terrible. Cheers
That screen looks like a poor design. They should have made a cupped screen like on the old style dryers to keep debris from settling in the bottom. I'll keep using the old style as long as I have one or can find one. Same with my washer. I'll keep using a top loader with an agitator. The new ones don't use enough water to get the clothes clean.
It’s not the duct for me. Brand new dryer. First time using it stop running in one minute. So no lint build up for me. It just stop working. Brand new crap.
They should be in recall because I guess is not only my LG that is stopping in the middle of the cycle plus the washer machine does in certain cycles 😣
@@railroadtrash09 I just had my dryer vent cleaned..... IT SOLVED MY PROBLEM! Been a couple years since I had it done and I figured it'd be cheaper to go this route instead of buying a new dryer and it worked out. Hope that helps.
Wtf I have a lg one and my shit dirty asf from the inside how do I get rid of the lint? Because it’s to deep inside and I tried gettin a small vacuum to get it out
Brandon their are screws on the inside you unscrew them and can take the whole thing out and clean all the lint. I found a video on TH-cam and it was really helpful just look up how to clean lg dryer lint
@@KIrvin_The_Scholar no not what I mean. Once and a while my dryer would stop drying. I looked on TH-cam and saw there was a reset button inside the back of the dryer. Very small and hard to see. I would push it in and it would work again.
This was a perfect video. My dryer is blowing hot again. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I appreciate it.

What if it doesn't stop after the timer is finished..it just keeps going ..how do I get it to cut off when the time is expired.

@@breakerbroke23 if you do it please post the video. I have one of these too and would really like to know how to deep clean it.
Ty u my good man ❤
Thank you I have same set Goin try this
A leaf blower does a great job blowing out lint ducts, especially for those ducts that vent at the roof:-)

What is the airflow rate of this dryer? How hot does the normal cycle get in degrees Fahrenheit?
IDK

We clean our lint out every load and it still does this. This is a poorly built machine.
Agreed 100%

I have ZERO power. it worked twice. once when i first got then again after having breaker off for 24 plus hours. now nothing

What was the issue? Mine is doing the same
@chrisgonzalez849 i got rid of it, I'm not sure. It just kept doing it and I'm to old to mess with it
I'll give this a try. My LG dryer is pissin me off! Prematurely stops drying cuz it thinks the load is dried. S.o.b!
I think that's what I'm having as well. Seems like a bad sensor.

@@bbm8550 I'll try that first, thank you!
@@railroadtrash09 yo! Let me know if it helps! I'm curious to find out if it solved your problem
The gas burner comes on for 5 seconds or so and then shuts off. What could the problem be?
You can take the filter holder off to get down there much easier. Just be careful of the sensor.
Correct, I am trying to make this job simple for the average homemaker. Doing it without disassembly, like you say be careful of the sensor. Cheers.
I just spent over an hour cleaning out the lint inside but still says its on cooling cycle.
Did you fix the cooling cycle issue? I have the same issue

There’s a reset button in the back of the dryer. You’re going to need a screwdriver as well.
Does flipping the reset button stop the dryer from stopping prematurely before the time runs out ?
@@KIrvin_The_Scholar no not what I mean. Once and a while my dryer would stop drying. I looked on TH-cam and saw there was a reset button inside the back of the dryer. Very small and hard to see. I would push it in and it would work again.
