Frequently Asked Questions - TDN12240G LG

How do I start the dryer?
Press the Power button, turn the knob to select a cycle, then press Start/Pause. Ensure the door is closed and the lint filter is clean.
What is the difference between Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Sensor Dry automatically adjusts drying time based on moisture levels. Time Dry lets you set a fixed drying time and temperature manually. Sensor Dry is recommended for most loads.
How often should I clean the lint filter?
Clean the lint filter before or after each load. A clogged filter increases drying time and energy use. Wash it with soap and water every six months or when residue builds up.
What does error code tE1 or tE2 mean?
tE1 indicates an open thermistor and tE2 indicates a shorted thermistor. Contact an LG service center for replacement.
Can I use a plastic vent duct?
No. Only use rigid or flexible metal duct (4-inch diameter). Plastic or foil ducts can cause fire. Follow exhaust requirements in the manual.
How do I reverse the door opening direction?
The door can be reversed to open left or right. Follow the steps in the installation section: remove screws, reposition hinges and latch, then reattach. Detailed instructions are in the manual.
Is the dryer gas conversion possible?
Yes, the dryer can be converted from natural gas to LP gas or vice versa. This must be done by a qualified technician. The orifice and gas valve need adjustment.
What should I do if my dryer takes too long to dry?
Check the lint filter, ensure proper exhaust venting, avoid overloading, and select the correct cycle. Also verify that the gas supply (for gas models) is fully open.
Can I install the dryer in a mobile home?

  5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length limitations noted in the chart above.

Part 8 EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance

LG TDN12240G - Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance - 1

WARNING!

  • Disconnect the dryer's electric power prior to any cleaning or maintenance.
  • Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical shock.

  • After one year of use, the interior and complete exhaust system of the dryer should be examined and cleaned if necessary.

  • Before one year of use, when drying performance has become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the exhaust duct for better drying performance.
  • Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
  • A qualified service person or company should be used to perform this maintenance.

  • A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard to reach places. This Kit comes in two pieces, one of which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached to the wall exhaust outlet. Following attachment of the two separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer may be returned to its final position, after which the two pieces themselves can be connected.

  • Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care. Wipe the exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach, or other washing products is spilled on the dryer.

  • Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products may damage the finish of the control panel.

  • Please clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load.

  • Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.

  • Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the vacuum duct. See item #2 above.

  • Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

  1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load or after drying each load. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may increase drying times.
  2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll any lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
  3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose lint screen may cause overheating and damage to the dryer and articles being dried.
  4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than others (towels for example), causing the lint screen to fill rapidly. Remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying these articles, such as new towels.
  5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust hood and remove any lint.
  6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off the screen. In order to prevent this type of build up, and help ensure proper operation of your dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months or, if necessary, more frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as follows:
    a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or warm water.
    b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric softener.
    c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen with hot water.
    d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel, firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.

Following are instructions for starting and using your new dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

Maintenance

Clean lint filter

Clean the lint filter after each use and check it before use. Not cleaning or emptying the filter will increase drying time and energy consumption, therefore dryer life expectancy could be shortened after all.

■ Clean the door and its opening

  1. Wipe out the door opening. Otherwise, build-ups of dirty and foreign objects will damage sealing of door.

  2. Clean the transparent glass door to keep inside view clear through the glass.

Part 10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

  1. Problem: There Is Lint On My Clothes
Question What to Do
• Is your lint filter full?Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of laundry.
• Did you properly sort your load of laundry?In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair of black linen pants).
• Do your clothes have excess static electricity?See comments below under. There Is Static In My Clothes After Drying.
• Did you overload your dryer?Divide your larger load into smaller loads.
• Did you place any paper, tissue, or other similar material in the load?Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of a pocket, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing are empty before washing and drying.
  1. Problem: There Is Static In My Clothes After Drying
Question What to Do
Did you use fabric softener?Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
Did you over dry the load of laundry?Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity.Try using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time.
Are you drying synthetic, permanent press and blends?These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes.Try using a fabric softener.
  1. Problem: The Drying Time Is Not Consistent
QuestionWhat to Do
• Are you using consistent heat settings and consistent load sizes?The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filer.
  1. Problem: Water Is Found Around The Cabinet Cover When Opening The Door.
Question What to Do
• Is water found around cabinet cover when opening the door?It is not out of order because this is condensed moisture by drying.

Part 10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

  1. Problem: It Takes Too Long For My Clothes To Dry
Question What to Do
Did you properly sort your loads of laundry?Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.
Are you drying large loads 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.
Are the dryer controls properly set?Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Is the lint filter clean before each new load of laundry?Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
Are the exhaust ducts clear and properly configured?Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped?Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: electric dryers generally use two fuses or breakers.)
Did you overload your dryer?Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
Did you under load your dryer?If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure proper tumbling action.
  1. Problem: My Clothes Are Wrinkled
Question What to Do
• Are you over drying your laundry?Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
• Are you removing your laundry from the dryer soon after the drying cycle is complete?Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or fold the items.
  1. Problem: My clothes are shrinking
Question What to Do
• Are you following the care instructions for your garment?To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer.
