The LG DLE5955 and DLG5966 are advanced electric and gas dryers designed to provide efficient and intelligent fabric care. These models are part of LG's laundry lineup, emphasizing performance, style, and user-friendly technology to simplify the drying process.
At its core, this device is a high-capacity dryer engineered to efficiently dry a wide range of fabrics. It utilizes a combination of sensor technology and multiple drying programs to ensure optimal results while minimizing energy consumption. The dryer's primary function is to remove moisture from clothes, towels, and other textiles after washing, preparing them for storage or immediate use. It offers both electric (DLE5955) and gas (DLG5966) heating options to suit different household setups.
The LG DLE5955/DLG5966 dryers are designed for intuitive and convenient operation, making laundry tasks less of a chore.
Intelligent Electronic Controls with Dual LED Display and Dial-A-Cycle™: The dryer features an upfront electronic control panel that makes operation straightforward. The dual LED display provides clear feedback on settings and cycle status, while the Dial-A-Cycle™ knob allows for easy selection of drying programs. This "set it and go" interface simplifies the drying process, and users can save their favorite drying cycles using the Custom Program feature for quick access to optimized drying performance.
XL Load Capacity with NeveRust™ Stainless Steel Drum: With a generous 7.3 cu.ft. capacity, these dryers can handle large loads, reducing the number of cycles needed and saving time. The NeveRust™ stainless steel drum is durable and designed to prevent chipping and snagging, protecting clothes from damage and ensuring a long lifespan for the appliance.
Sensor Dry System: This intelligent system is a cornerstone of the dryer's efficiency. It uses sensors to detect moisture levels in the drum and automatically adjusts drying time and temperature. This prevents over-drying, which can damage fabrics and waste energy, while also ensuring clothes are perfectly dry. The Sensor Dry System contributes to both intelligent fabric care and energy efficiency.
Multiple Drying Programs and Temperature Levels: The dryer offers 9 distinct drying programs to cater to various fabric types and drying needs, including Normal, Cotton/Towels, Delicates, Wrinkle Care, Heavy Duty, and Ultra Delicate. For manual control, it also includes Speed Dry, Air Dry, and Freshen Up options. Complementing these programs are 5 temperature levels (High, Medium High, Medium, Low, Ultra Low) and 5 drying levels (Very Dry, More Dry, Normal Dry, Less Dry, Damp Dry), providing precise control over the drying environment.
Precise Temperature Control with Variable Heat Source: This feature ensures that the heat applied to fabrics is consistent and appropriate for the selected cycle, further protecting garments from heat damage and ensuring thorough drying.
Wrinkle Care Option: To minimize the need for ironing, the Wrinkle Care option periodically tumbles clothes without heat after the drying cycle is complete. This helps to prevent wrinkles from setting in, keeping clothes smoother and more presentable.
Drying Rack: A dedicated drying rack is included, allowing users to dry items that should not be tumbled, such as sweaters, delicate lingerie, or shoes. This feature expands the versatility of the dryer, protecting sensitive items from damage.
Custom Program: This feature allows users to save their preferred drying settings for frequently used cycles. Once a custom program is set, it can be easily recalled, providing consistent and personalized drying results with minimal effort.
End of Cycle Beeper: An audible alert signals when a drying cycle is complete, preventing clothes from sitting in the dryer and becoming wrinkled. The beeper can typically be turned on or off based on user preference.
Reversible Door: The dryer door can be reversed to open from either the left or right side, offering flexibility in installation and accommodating various laundry room layouts.
Stackable Design and Optional Drawer Pedestal: The dryer is designed to be stackable with its matching washer (WM2455H), making it an ideal solution for homes with limited space. For those who prefer a side-by-side setup or wish to raise the appliance for easier loading and unloading, an optional matching drawer pedestal is available. This pedestal not only elevates the dryer to a more ergonomic height but also provides convenient storage for laundry essentials.
Style and Design: The dryer boasts an elegant design with an upfront electronic control panel, a large chrome-rimmed door with clear glass, and available finishes in White and Pearl Gray. This aesthetic integration ensures it complements modern home interiors.
The LG DLE5955/DLG5966 dryers incorporate features that simplify maintenance and ensure long-term performance.
FlowSense™ Duct Clogging Indicator: This innovative feature actively monitors airflow in the dryer's duct system. If lint buildup or a blockage is detected, the indicator will alert the user, signaling that the duct needs to be cleaned. This is crucial for maintaining optimal drying performance, preventing potential fire hazards, and ensuring energy efficiency. Regular cleaning of the dryer vent is a key maintenance task, and FlowSense™ makes it easier to know when it's needed.
LoDecibel™ Quiet Operation: While not strictly a maintenance feature, the quiet operation (rated at 58 dB) contributes to a more pleasant laundry environment, making the appliance less intrusive in the home. This indicates good engineering and component quality, which often correlates with reduced wear and tear over time.
NeveRust™ Stainless Steel Drum: The stainless steel drum is not only durable but also resistant to rust and corrosion, which helps maintain its smooth surface and prevents damage to clothes. It's also easy to wipe clean, contributing to hygiene and longevity.
Easy-to-Access Lint Filter: While not explicitly detailed, all dryers have a lint filter that needs regular cleaning. The design of LG dryers typically ensures this filter is easily accessible for removal and cleaning after each load, which is essential for maintaining airflow and preventing lint buildup.
In summary, the LG DLE5955 and DLG5966 dryers are sophisticated appliances that combine large capacity, intelligent sensor technology, and user-friendly controls to deliver efficient and gentle fabric care. Their thoughtful design, including stackability and maintenance indicators like FlowSense™, makes them a practical and stylish addition to any modern home.
