How to fix an LG Dryer that will not turn on?
If your LG dryer won't turn on, first ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate. Also, check your house fuse or circuit breaker.

Why is my LG DLEY1701VE not heating up?
If your LG dryer isn't heating, check your home's fuse or circuit breaker and reset it or replace the fuse if necessary, without increasing its capacity.

Why do clothes take so long to dry in my LG Dryer?
Several factors can cause clothes to take too long to dry in your LG dryer. Ensure you're separating heavy items from lightweight ones, as heavier fabrics retain more moisture and take longer to dry. Use appropriate control settings for the load type and clean the lint filter before each load, and sometimes during the cycle if needed. Check for blocked or dirty exhaust ducts and ensure outside wall dampers can open properly. Avoid overloading the dryer, and for very small loads, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling. A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker may also be the reason.
