LG DLGX4501 (01) PDF Document

The electrical requirements for the LG DLGX4501 gas dryer are as follows:

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded.
• This dryer must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz. grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The LG DLGX4501 gas dryer is configured for use with natural gas (NG) as shipped from the factory. It can be converted for use with propane (LP) gas. Gas pressure must not exceed 8-inch (20.4 cm) water column for NG, or 13-inch (33.1 cm) water column for LP.

• A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service.
• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply.
• DO NOT attempt any disassembly of the dryer; disassembly requires the attention and tools of an authorized and qualified service technician or company.
• Securely tighten all gas connections.
• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate.
• Supply line requirements: Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve MUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA B149.1. A 1/8-inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.
• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be 0.5-inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3/8-inch approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft. (6.1 m).
• To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected.
• DO NOT use an open flame to inspect for gas leaks. Use a noncorrosive leak detection fluid.
• Use only a new AGA- or CSA-certified gas supply line with flexible stainless steel connectors.
• Use Teflon tape or a pipe-joint compound that is insoluble in propane (LP) gas on all pipe threads.

• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
• Use only a new stainless steel flexible connector and a new AGA-certified connector.
• A gas shutoff valve must be installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer.
• The dryer is configured for natural gas when shipped from the factory. Make sure that the dryer is equipped with the correct burner nozzle for the type of gas being used (natural gas or propane gas).
• If necessary, the correct nozzle (for the LP nozzle kit, order part number 383EEL3002D) should be installed by a qualified technician and the change should be noted on the dryer.
• All connections must be in accordance with local codes and regulations. Gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.

Steps to connect the gas supply:

1. Make sure that the gas supply to the laundry room is turned OFF and the dryer is unplugged. Confirm that the type of gas available in your laundry room is appropriate for the dryer.

2. Remove the shipping cap from the gas fitting at the back of the dryer. Be careful not to damage the threads of the gas connector when removing the shipping cap.

3. Connect the dryer to your laundry room’s gas supply using a new flexible stainless steel connector with a 3/8-inch NPT fitting.

4. Securely tighten all connections between the dryer and your laundry room’s gas supply.

5. Turn on your laundry room’s gas supply.

6. Check all pipe connections (both internal and external) for gas leaks with a noncorrosive leak-detection fluid.

7. Proceed to Venting the Dryer.

The LG DLGX4501 steam dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.

Note the following requirements:

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138—827 kPa).
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a pressure-reducing valve should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Steps to connect the inlet hose (WITH WASHER, when connecting the dryer to the same faucet as a washer):

1. Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet hoses. Two rubber seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold water tap is tight.

2. Check the installation type: WITH WASHER.

3. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer hose.

4. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using one of the rubber seals.

5. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold water faucet.

6. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of the Y-connector and connect the washer hose to the other side.

7. Connect the hose to the dryer. Connect the water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that they are not crushed.

8. Turn on the cold water faucet.

9. Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all hoses.

Steps to connect the inlet hose (WITHOUT WASHER, if the dryer does not share the cold water tap with a washer):

1. Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet hoses. Two rubber seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold water tap is tight.

2. Check the installation type: WITHOUT WASHER.

3. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold water faucet.

4. Connect the hose to the dryer. Connect the water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that they are not crushed.

5. Turn on the cold water faucet.

6. Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all hoses.

NOTE: Before connecting the water line to the dryer, flush several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer inlet valve. Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling may result. If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet, remove the hose and check the condition of the rubber seal.

NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary may cause the dryer to vibrate. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

1. Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level across the top of the dryer.

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.

2. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet. Unscrew the legs to raise the dryer or screw in the legs to lower it. Adjust the leveling feet until the dryer is level from side to side and front to back. Make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

NOTE: If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted.

Tools Required:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Large flat blade screwdriver (recommended for hinge screws if they are tight or your Phillips screwdriver is worn)
• Small flat blade screwdriver (for lifting out parts)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of damage to the dryer, property damage or personal injury, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Support the door with a stool or box that fits under the door, or have an assistant support the weight of the door.
• Avoid dropping the door.
• Unplug the dryer or turn off power at the main circuit breaker before beginning door reversal.
• Always reverse the door BEFORE stacking the dryer on top of the washer.

Door Reversal Instructions (for changing the door swing from a right to a left side hinge):

1. Open the door and remove the two decorative screws, two latch screws, and the latch on the catch side with a screwdriver. Save these for step 4.

2. While supporting the door, remove the 2 screws on the door hinge. Remove the door.

3. Turn the door upside down and line up the holes in the hinge with the holes on the opposite side of the cabinet. Reinstall the door with the screws removed in step 2.

WARNING: Be sure to support the weight of the door before installing the hinge screws.

4. Install the two decorative screws, the latch, and two latch screws removed in step 1 on the opposite side from which they were removed.

5. Check that the door closes properly.

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle. Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Refer to the fabric care label for Tumble Dry settings:

Refer to the fabric care label for Heat Setting:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, injury to persons, and death when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire.
• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues.

Loading Tips:

• Combine large and small items in the same load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry properly.
• Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to prevent them from catching on or tangling with other clothes or damaging the lint filter.

1. Clean the Lint Filter: If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into place.

2. Load the Dryer: Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.

3. Turn on the Dryer: Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4. Select a Cycle: Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if desired. Refer to the Cycle Setting and Options page for details.

NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. Refer to the Cycle Guide page for default settings and available options. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not available.

5. Begin Cycle: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start/Pause button. If the cycle is not restarted within 14 minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut off and the settings will be lost.

6. End of Cycle: When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.

The LG DLGX4501 dryer offers two types of drying cycles: Sensor Dry Cycles and Manual Dry Cycles.

Sensor Dry Cycles utilize LG’s unique dual sensor system to detect and compare the moisture level in clothes and in the air and adjust the drying time as needed to ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dryness level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown in the display.

Manual Dry Cycles allow you to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Dry cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing the More Time or Less Time buttons.

NOTE: To protect your garments not every dryness level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.

Use this button to select the level of dryness for the cycle. Press the Dry Level button repeatedly to scroll through available settings.

• This option is only available with Sensor Dry cycles.
• The dryer will automatically adjust the cycle time. Selecting dry levels above Normal will increase the cycle time. Selecting dry levels below Normal will decrease the cycle time.
• Use the dry level between Normal and Damp or the Damp dry level for items that you wish to iron.

Use the Temp. button to adjust the temperature setting. This allows precise care of fabrics and garments. Press the Temp. button repeatedly to scroll through available settings.

Use this button to manually select the drying time, from 20 to 60 minutes, in 10-minute increments. Use this for small loads or to remove wrinkles. Use the More Time/Less Time buttons to add or reduce the drying time in 5-minute increments.

The appliance plays a melody when the drying cycle is finished. the buttons make a sound each time a button is pressed. Use the Signal button to turn the melody and button tones on or off.

• To turn on/off, press the Signal button.
• When this function is turned on, the On/Off LED on the display lights up.

1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

2. Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle.

3. Press the cycle option button(s) to add the desired options. A confirmation message is shown in the display.

4. Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. The dryer starts automatically.

Selecting this option will tumble the load periodically for up to 3 hours after the selected cycle, or until the door is opened. This is helpful in preventing wrinkles when you are unable to remove items from the dryer immediately.

When this option is selected, the dryer signals when the load is approximately 80% dry. This allows you to remove faster-drying lightweight items or items that you would like to iron or hang while they are still slightly damp.

• To turn on/off, press the Damp Dry Signal button.

The Control Lock function prevents unwanted use of the dryer or keeps cycle settings from being changed while the dryer is operating.

Activating the Control Lock Function:

Press and hold the Damp Dry Signal button for 3 seconds. When the controls are locked, IL and the remaining time are alternately shown on the display during the dry cycle. All controls will be disabled except the Power button.

Deactivating the Control Lock Function:

Press and hold the Damp Dry Signal button for 3 seconds. Once set, Control Lock remains active until it is manually deactivated. Control Lock must be turned off to run another cycle.

The drum on the LG DLGX4501 is equipped with a blue LED that illuminates when the dryer is turned on. This light automatically turns off when the door is closed and the cycle starts. To turn on the light during a cycle, press and hold the Wrinkle Care button for three seconds. The drum light will illuminate and then turn off automatically after four minutes.

The Steam Sanitary™ Cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-washable items quickly and easily using the power of steam.

Use this cycle for cotton and polyester material. (Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or delicate items).

Steam Fresh™ 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, 5 or 619.3 means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and 69 indicates a large load such as a comforter.

Using the Steam Fresh™ Cycle:

1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the Steam Fresh™ Cycle.

2. To add an option, select Wrinkle Care.

3. The display shows the load size (number of items). Change the steam time by pressing the More Time or Less Time buttons to fit the size of the load.

4. Press Start/Pause to start the cycle.

The Reduce Static option 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).

Adding Steam to a Standard Cycle:

1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

2. Use the cycle setting buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle.

3. Press Turbo Steam to add steam. If desired, select the Reduce Static or Wrinkle Care options. Then adjust for the load size using the More Time or Less Time buttons.

4. Press Start/Pause to start the cycle.

NOTE:

• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam cycles. This is normal.
• Do not use Steam Fresh™ with items such as wool, wool blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric blankets.
• For best results, load articles of similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.
• When the filter/duct is clogged, the steam option may not have optimal results.
• When the steam function is operating, the drum will stop to allow steam to stay in the drum.

• Flow Sense Duct Blockage Sensing System Indicator: The Flow Sense™ duct blockage sensing system detects and alerts you to blockages in the ductwork that reduce exhaust flow from the dryer. Maintaining a clean exhaust system improves operating efficiency and helps minimize service calls, saving you money.

Cleaning the Lint Filter:

Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.

To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and pull the lint filter straight up. Then:

1. For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter with your fingers, or

2. Vacuum the lint filter.

3. If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

NOTE: NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Maintaining Ductwork:

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup once per month and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions and blockages.

If the Flow Sense™ indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.

Check the following if your LG DLGX4501 dryer does not turn on:

• 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.

If your LG DLGX4501 gas dryer does not heat, check the following:

• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. 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.
• Gas supply or service is turned off. 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.

Clothes may take too long to dry in your LG DLGX4501 dryer due to the following possible causes and solutions:

• Large load of heavy fabrics: 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.
• Dryer controls are not set properly: 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.
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned: 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.
• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred: 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.
• Dryer is overloaded: Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.
• Dryer is underloaded: 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.
• Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long: Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
• Load is not properly sorted: Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster.

Possible causes and solutions for greasy or dirty spots on clothes after using the LG DLGX4501 dryer:

• Fabric softener used incorrectly: Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.
• Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together: Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.
• Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer: 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.

Possible causes and solutions for wrinkled clothes after using the LG DLGX4501 dryer:

• Clothes dried too long (over dried): 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.
• Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends: Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling.

If garment care instructions are not being followed, clothes may shrink. 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.

Possible causes and solutions for lint on clothes after using the LG DLGX4501 dryer:

• Lint filter not cleaned properly: 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.
• Laundry not sorted properly: 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).
• Dryer is overloaded: Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets: Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Possible causes and solutions for excessive static in clothes after drying in the LG DLGX4501 dryer:

• Fabric softener is not used or used incorrectly: Use a fabric softener or the REDUCE STATIC option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Clothes dried too long (overdried): 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.
• Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends: These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY time settings.

Possible causes and solutions for damp spots on clothes after a Sensor Dry cycle on the LG DLGX4501 dryer:

• Very large load or very small load/Single large item such as a blanket or comforter: 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).

This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

If there are too many or overly different types of garments in the dryer, the following applies:

• Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar types of garments.

The function of this cycle is to remove wrinkles from fabric. Use an iron to replace creases and pleats in garments.

This is normal. The amount of static experienced will depend on the individual moisture level in the skin.

Correct drying options were not selected. Select the load weight manually before starting the Reduce Static option.

If there is a Water level error, unplug the dryer and call for service.

This is normal. Condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door during steam operation. Some condensation may drip out the bottom of the door.

This is normal. Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally.

This is normal. The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum. The drum will normally turn for about 2 seconds once a minute.

This is normal. Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option.

The Steam Fresh™ cycle did not remove the odor completely. Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.

The error code PS indicates that the Power cord is connected incorrectly. Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block.

This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered by the dryer warranty. Contact a duct cleaning service to set up an appointment to have your exhaust system cleaned and inspected. The possible causes and solutions are:

• Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions: Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details.
• Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object: Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.
• The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting: If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense™ system, the indicator will remain on for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will turn off the display.

This display indicates that the steam option has been set for a “big” item such as a comforter. Press the LESS TIME button to reduce the indicated load size.

The duct work is about 80% – 95% blocked. 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.

The cause is that the Lint filter was not cleaned properly. 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.

The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the LG DLGX4501 dryer on, then press and hold the button that has *Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.

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.

This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The LG DLGX4501 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.

When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the LG DLGX4501 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 69 (big) setting.
