Fast, professional LG dryer repair from technicians who fix LG dryers frequently. Same or next business day on most calls.
Counted from our technicians' notes on 88 LG dryer service calls.
The most common reason is a restricted vent, and plenty of LG dryers will say so with d80, d90 or d95. Lint builds up in long duct runs, crushed foil transition ducts, and outdoor hoods whose flaps stick. A dryer that keeps running hot against a blocked vent also burns through its thermal fuse and thermostats faster.
On an electric model, nP means no current is getting to the heater. LG says that usually traces back to the house wiring, and a common case is one half of the double breaker tripping. With good power, the heating element, a thermal fuse or a high-limit thermostat is the likely failure. A gas model shows a "gas" message when it isn't getting gas. Once you've confirmed the gas is on, the igniter or the gas valve coils are the probable parts, and that's a job for a technician.
Worn drum rollers and a dry idler pulley are behind most squeals and thumps. When the motor runs but the drum sits still, look for a drive belt that has slipped or snapped.
Make sure the door is fully latched (that's dE) and the breaker is on. A blown thermal fuse will also keep many models from starting, and that points right back to poor vent airflow.
| Code | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| d75, d80, d90, d95 | Vent is roughly 75, 80, 90 or 95% restricted, so clean the vent run first. On gas dryers, d80 can also mean there's no gas |
| tE1, tE3 | Temperature sensor (thermistor) problem |
| tE2 | Thermistor reading too cold, often in steam cycles when the duct cools off fast |
| nP | No current at the heater, generally a house wiring or breaker issue |
| PS | Wrong voltage at the power cord, such as wires reversed at the terminal block |
| dE | Door problem. It may be damaged, out of alignment or not closed all the way |
| HS | Humidity sensor problem. Clean the moisture sensor bars under the lint filter |
| PF | Power was interrupted |
Codes and meanings differ between models. A code narrows down the area but doesn't name the failed part, so write it down before resetting.
Need the model number? Open the door and look on the front frame around the drum opening, near the top.
Drifting snow and frost can close off a low outdoor vent hood, and lint collects faster in a cold duct because moisture condenses inside it. When a d-code pops up in January, check the outside hood before anything else.
Rollers, belts, idler pulleys, thermal fuses, elements and igniters are moderate repairs, and most LG dryers with a sound drum and cabinet are worth fixing. Get the vent fixed during the same visit, or the new heating parts will face the same strain.

In our technicians' notes on 88 LG dryer service calls, the repairs that come up most involve the vent restriction, drum rollers or idler pulley and drive belt. The list near the top of this page shows the rest.
88 LG dryer repairs are in our service records so far, and customers rated those visits 5.0 out of 5 stars.
LG dryers with airflow sensing show d75, d80, d90 or d95 when the exhaust vent is roughly that percent restricted. Clean the lint filter, make sure the outdoor hood flap opens, and have the whole vent run cleaned. On gas models, LG says d80 can also mean no gas is reaching the dryer. Running against a blocked vent wears out heating parts and is a fire risk.
LG calls tE2 a thermistor problem that appears in cold conditions, frequently during steam cycles like SteamFresh when the duct cools quickly. A very cold dryer in an unheated laundry room or garage can set it off too. One occurrence in a cold space just means restarting once the dryer warms up. When it repeats under normal conditions, have the thermistor and its wiring tested.
The dryer can't detect current at the heater. LG says this usually points to the home's wiring, not the dryer. Most often one half of the 240-volt double breaker has tripped, so the drum turns but you get no heat. Turn the breaker fully off, then back on. If nP comes back, have an electrician or technician check the circuit and terminal block.
A thump or squeal that keeps time with the drum is most likely worn drum rollers or a dry, worn idler pulley. Both are routine to replace. When the dryer hums or runs and the drum doesn't move, the drive belt has probably broken. Grinding or a burning smell means stop using it, since a seized roller can ruin the belt and motor.
The trip and diagnostic fee starts at $129. Your technician quotes the repair upfront using the Appliance Blue Book, before any work begins, so you can decide with no surprises.
