Why do my clothes take so long to dry in my LG Dryer?
- E
  Eric PetersAug 17, 2025
  Several factors can cause your LG Dryer to take too long to dry clothes. Ensure you're using the correct control settings for your load type and that the lint filter is clean before each cycle, cleaning it mid-cycle if needed for loads that produce a lot of lint. Separate heavy and lightweight items, and avoid large loads of heavy fabrics, dividing them into smaller, consistent sizes. Check for blocked or dirty exhaust ducts and ensure outside wall dampers are working correctly. Avoid overloading or underloading the dryer; add a few extra items for small loads. Finally, check that a house fuse hasn't blown, a circuit breaker hasn't tripped, or a power outage hasn't occurred; reset the breaker or replace the fuse if necessary, and have circuit overloads corrected by a qualified electrician.

  If you're finding lint on your clothes after drying in your LG Dryer, make sure to clean the lint filter before every load. Sort your laundry properly, separating lint producers from lint trappers. Check pockets for tissues or paper before washing and drying. Avoid overloading the dryer by dividing larger loads into smaller ones. If excess static is a problem, refer to the section on 'Excess static in clothes after drying'.

  If your LG Dryer isn't heating, check your house fuse or circuit breaker and reset it or replace the fuse if necessary. If you have a gas model, ensure both the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are fully open. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

  To prevent wrinkles when using your LG Dryer, avoid overdrying clothes by using a shorter drying time and removing items while they still have a slight amount of moisture. Remove clothes immediately after the cycle ends, or use the Wrinkle Care option to continue tumbling clothes for up to 3 hours.

Why are there greasy spots on clothes after using my LG DLEY1701*E?

  Brad MorganSep 1, 2025
  If you notice greasy or dirty spots on clothes after using your LG Dryer, ensure you're using fabric softener correctly, following the provided instructions. Only dry clean items, as dirty items can soil clean clothes in the same or subsequent loads. Also, ensure clothes are completely cleaned during washing, following instructions for your washer and detergent, as stains on dried clothes may not have been removed during washing.
