IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

⚠️WArNiNg

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

⚠️WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons, or death.

Exhaust/Ducting:

  • Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
  • The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
  • Use only rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal 4-inch diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
  • Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
  • The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

- Rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition ducting could affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

- DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

Installation Location Requirements

⚠️WArNiNg

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

  • A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See Venting the dryer.
  • A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting electric dryers.

  • A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

  • No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45^ F ( 7^ C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE

  • Floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if the dryer is not level.
  • For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

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.

NOTE

Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

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

Level Leveling Fee

- 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.

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.

  1. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the dryer or counterclockwise to lower it. Raise or lower the leveling feet until 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.

Reversing the Door

Before you begin

LG DLGX7701KE - Before you begin - 1

NOTE

The door reversal procedure for the two-way door is far more complex than for a conventional dryer door. It is recommended that you read through these instructions in their entirety before beginning the process, in order to gauge whether you prefer to have the procedure done by a professional installer or service person.

The door reversal procedure consists of four main parts:

  • Removing and reinstalling the door and hinges (steps 1, 2 and 20)
  • Removing and reversing components on the dryer cabinet (step 3)
  • Removing and reversing components on the door cover (steps 4 and 5)
  • Removing and reversing components inside the door (steps 6 through 19).

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)

LG DLGX7701KE - Tools Required - 1

WArNiNg

  • THE DRYER DOOR IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY. Failure to follow the instructions below can result in damage to the dryer, property damage or personal injury.
  • To avoid damage to the dryer or the door, 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 to avoid damage to the door or the floor.
  • Unplug the dryer or turn off power at the main circuit breaker before beginning door reversal.

Close the dryer door, press the On/Off button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.

When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

LG DLGX7701KE - GAS MODELS - 1

NOTE

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the On/Off button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Installation Test (Duct check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

- Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

Loading the Dryer

WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons 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 your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
  • Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues.

Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

NOTE

Loading tips

  • Combine large and small items in a load.
  • Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
  • Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.

To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. 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.

Steam Functions

LG's new steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes and reduce static, or sanitize clothes.

Simply select the Steam Fresh ^™ cycle or the Steam Sanitary ^™ cycle. Or you can add a steam option to selected cycles.

Using the Steam Fresh ^TM cycle

Steam Fresh ^™ uses the power of steam alone to quickly reduce wrinkles and odors in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time. Steam Fresh ^™ can also be used to help reduce odors and remove the hanger creases in fabrics.

To use the Steam Fresh ^TM cycle:

  1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the Steam Fresh ^™ cycle.
  2. To add an option function, select Wrinkle Care.
  3. Depending on the load (quantity of items), steam time can be changed by pressing the More Time or Less Time buttons.
  4. Press Start/Pause button to start the cycle.

Using the Steam Sanitary ^TM cycle

The new Steam Sanitary ^TM cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-washable items quickly and easily using the power of steam alone. This cycle is recommended for use with cotton and polyester materials. (Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or delicate items.)

Using the steam options:

The Reduce Static option injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the More Time or Less Time button, depending on the load (quantity of items). The display will show the recommended number of items, such as 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18.

Problem Possible CausesSolutions
Dryer will not turn onPower cord is not properly plugged in.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Make sure that the plug is plugged securely 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.
Dryer does not heatHouse fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).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.Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothesFabric softener used incorrectly.Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads.Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the washing process.Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error code tE1 or tE2Thermistor is malfunctioning.Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothesLint filter not cleaned properly.Laundry not sorted properly.Excess static in clothes.Dryer is overloaded.Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. 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).See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Excess static in clot hes after dryingFabric softener not used or used incorrectly.Clothes dried too long (overdried).Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.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.These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.
Display shows error code PSPower cord connection is incorrect.Check the connection of power cord to the terminal block. Refer to pages in 27-31 this manual.
Drying time is not consistentHeat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, 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 ducts and lint filter.
Clothes take too long to dryLoad is not properly sorted.Large load of heavy fabrics.Dryer controls are not set properly.Lint filter needs to be cleaned.Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Dryer is overloaded.Dryer is underloaded.Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.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.Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.Confirm that the exhaust ductwork 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.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.Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.
Clothes are wrinkledClothes dried too long (overdried).Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.Overdrying 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.Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the Wrinkle Care option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.
Clothes are shrinkingGarment care instructions are not being followed.To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care 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. Use a low or no heat setting.
Water drips from nozzle when Steam Cycle startsThis is normal. This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
Steam does not generate but no error code is shownWater level error. Unplug dryer and call for service.
Garments still wrinkled after Steam Fresh^TM Too many or too different types of garments in dryer.Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best.Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
