When I press a button on my LG DLEX4000, why does it beep and then nothing happens?
The Control Lock feature is turned on for your LG DLEX4000. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold the button that has “Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
Why does my LG DLEX4000 take so long to dry clothes?
Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be professionally cleaned or repaired.
Why does my LG DLEX4000 start by itself every few minutes?
This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works on your LG DLEX4000. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.
Why does my LG DLEX4000 show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle?
When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected on your LG DLEX4000, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the More Time or Less Time buttons to adjust the load size setting for the number of garments you desire. For a large load or single bulky item use the 6 / 9 (big) setting.
What are the possible causes and solutions if the Flow Sense™ indicator on my LG DLEX4000 remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting?
Possible Cause: After clearing the restriction, the Flow Sense™ system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense™ indicator is reset.
Solution: If the Flow Sense™ indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 displays error code “PS”?
Possible Cause: Power cord is connected incorrectly on the LG DLEX4000.
Solution: Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block.
What are the possible causes and solutions if the Flow Sense™ indicator on my LG DLEX4000 shows four bars during the drying cycle or the display shows “d80” after drying?
Possible Cause: Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions, or partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.
Solution: Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details. Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.
What are the possible causes and solutions if the Flow Sense™ indicator on my LG DLEX4000 remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting?
Possible Cause: The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting. After clearing the restriction, the Flow Sense™ system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense™ indicator is reset.
Solution: If the Flow Sense™ indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 displays “b1 9”?
Possible Cause: More Time button was pressed on the LG DLEX4000.
Solution: Press the LESS TIME button to reduce the indicated load size.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 displays error codes “d80”, “d90”, or “d95” during the drying cycle?
Possible Cause: The duct work is about 80% – 95% blocked. House exhaust system blocked on the LG DLEX4000.
Solution: Do not use the dryer until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted. Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.
What are the possible causes and solutions if the Check Filter indicator on my LG DLEX4000 is on during the drying cycle?
Possible Cause: Lint filter not cleaned properly on the LG DLEX4000.
Solution: Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 dryer beeps when I press a button and then nothing happens?
The Control Lock feature is turned on for the LG DLEX4000. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold the button that has “Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 dryer will not turn on?
Possible Cause: Power cord is not properly plugged in. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
Solution: Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 dryer does not heat?
Possible Cause: House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. Gas supply or service is turned off (Gas Model only).
Solution: Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not supplied to the dryer, it will run and no error codes will display. Verify that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.
What are the possible causes and solutions if clothes take too long to dry in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Large load of heavy fabrics. Dryer controls are not set properly. Lint filter needs to be cleaned. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. Dryer is overloaded. Dryer is underloaded. ENERGY SAVER option selected (on some models).
Solution: Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size. Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying. Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency. If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some extra wet clothes to the load. If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY SAVER option. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle.
What are the possible causes and solutions if the drying time in my LG DLEX4000 is not consistent?
Possible Cause: Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.
Solution: The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust duct and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
What are the possible causes and solutions if there are greasy or dirty spots on clothes after drying in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Fabric softener used incorrectly. Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together. Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer.
Solution: Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads. Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
What are the possible causes and solutions if clothes are wrinkled after drying in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Clothes dried too long (over dried). Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.
Solution: Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling.
What are the possible causes and solutions if clothes are shrinking in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Garment care instructions are not being followed.
Solution: To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.
What are the possible causes and solutions if there is lint on clothes after drying in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Lint filter not cleaned properly. Laundry not sorted properly. Excess static in clothes. Dryer is overloaded. Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.
Solution: Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles. Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
What are the possible causes and solutions if there is excess static in clothes after drying in my LG DLEX4000?
Possible Cause: Fabric softener is not used or used incorrectly. Clothes dried too long (overdried). Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
Solution: Use a fabric softener or the REDUCE STATIC option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use MANUAL DRY cycles. Select a LESS DRY setting on SENSOR DRY cycles, if necessary. These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY time settings.
What are the possible causes and solutions if my LG DLEX4000 has clothes with damp spots after a Sensor Dry cycle?
Possible Cause: Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.
Solution: If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a TIME DRY cycle for very small loads. Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas. To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, then set a TIME DRY cycle to finish drying the item(s).
What are the possible causes and solutions for trouble connecting my LG DLEX4000 appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network?
Possible Cause: The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly. Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on. The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly. The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz. The appliance is too far from the router.
Solution: Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the registration process again. Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before registering the appliance. The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.) Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer. If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.

What are the guidelines for using the Steam Fresh™ cycle on my LG DLEX4000?
The Steam Fresh™ cycle uses the power of steam to quickly reduce wrinkles and odors in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time and makes heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. Steam Fresh™ can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
NOTE: The cycle time depends on the load (number of items). Press the More Time or Less Time button to change the display to reflect the number of items in the load. The display will show 1, 3, or 5 if 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and 6/9 indicates a large load such as a comforter.
What are the guidelines for using the Steam Sanitary™ cycle on my LG DLEX4000?
The Steam Sanitary™ cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-washable items quickly and easily using the power of steam on the LG DLEX4000.
Use this cycle for cotton and polyester material. (Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or delicate items).
What are the guidelines for using the Reduce Static option on my LG DLEX4000?
The Reduce Static option on the LG DLEX4000 injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together.
NOTE:
When Sensor Dry is selected with the Reduce Static option, the dry levels below Normal cannot be selected.
The Reduce Static option can also be selected during Time Dry cycles.
After the Steam option is selected in Time Dry, the More Time or Less Time buttons will change the steam time ONLY.
Press the More Time or Less Time button to adjust the cycle time depending on the size of the load (7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18 items).
