How to Fix an LG Dryer Not Heating?

Without constant cleanings and proper loading techniques, the LG appliance will not dry your clothes in a normal cycle and display an error.

The issues described below for the LG dryer not getting hot have easy DIY solutions to achieve proper use and care of the appliance.

Clogged Dryer Vent

Lint may be collected in a device over time, clogging it and limiting airflow. Due to the blocked airflow, the moist, humid air will remain in the dryer, leaving clothes soggy.

Some models of LG dryers include a FlowSense indicator on the control panel that lights up when the vent is dirty. When the indicator shows 2-4 bars, it means that the vent is clogged, and you need to clean it.

Follow these steps for an LG dryer heating element to operate properly:

1. Clean the lint trap using a soft brush, dish detergent, and warm water.
2. Take the vacuum cleaner’s narrow hose to clear the lint from the filter’s housing.
3. Remove lint and debris from the vent.
4. Attach the vent back in place.

Remember to clean this element every 6-10 months.

Overloading

Too many clothes additionally block ventilation, leaving minimal space for hot air to circulate and dry the items. With this heavy load, you may also find that your dryer spins slower, minimizing circulation even more.

To avoid overload, follow these suggestions for correct usage and care:

• fill the appliance with one wash load at a time;
• check that the load only fills ¾ of the dryer drum for proper circulation;
• use only a small number of large items (1 or 2) at once to provide adequate space.

In some cases, the LG dryer fails to dry entirely due to other issues. Call the professional to examine the reason or to replace certain elements.

Blown Thermal Fuse

A thermal fuse is a protective element that prevents the appliance from overheating. Once the fuse blows, the dryer stops operating and will not continue until it is replaced. Experts recommend testing the vent for blockages using a multimeter if the fuse blows. If it is clear, the fuse needs to be changed.

Defective Heating Element

The LG dryer heating element heats the air inside the drum. When the LG electric dryer doesn’t heat up, the element is probably worn out and is no longer capable of producing heat. Test the component with a multimeter. If the lack of continuity is identified, you must replace it.

Conclusion

No matter what type of device you have, it needs to be cared for properly. When the LG dryer is stuck in cooling mode, press the “Reset” button for 5 seconds, and then switch the machine on again.

If it continues blowing cold air, read the manufacturer’s instructions or call the technician to determine the problem of normal cycle no heat. Note that with the LG dryer that is within warranty, you can change the components effortlessly.
