ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER 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-inch (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 four 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.
- This 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.
NOTE
The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
To activate the installation test:
1 Remove the drying rack and literature, and then close the door.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as in may affect the accuracy of the results.

2 Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal buttons until In5 and a usage count alternate in the display. (The usage count indicates the number of cycles run with no load during the last 5 cycles.)

3 Press the START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which will last about 2 minutes. The heat will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured and displayed. A chime sounds when the test portion of the cycle is complete.

4 Check the display for results.
During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™ display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart below for error code details and solutions.

Flow Sense
NO BARS: OK

Flow Sense
FOUR BARS: RESTRICTED
Four bars indicate that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.
5 End of cycle.
At the end of the test cycle, End will display. The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off automatically after a short delay.

- Check the error code before you call for service
| Error Code | Possible Causes | Solutions |
| tE1 or tE2 | • Temperature sensor failure. | • Turn off the dryer and call for service. |
| HS | • Humidity sensor failure. | • Turn off the dryer and call for service. |
| PS or PF or nP | • Electric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect. • House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. | • Check the power supply or the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. Refer to the Connecting Electric Dryers section of this manual for complete instructions. • Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. |
| gAS | • Gas supply or service turned off. (Gas Model only.) | • Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open. |
- Check the duct condition
If the Flow Sense™ LED is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.
NOTE
When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.
Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.
Restricted or Blocked Airflow
Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

Excess or crushed transition duct

Too many elbows or exhaust too long
Check for blockages and lint buildup.


Lint buildup or blockage
Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

MAINTENANCE
Regular Cleaning

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Unplug the dryer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
- Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent. Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
NOTE
- Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar products.
- Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.
Cleaning the Interior
Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft, damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could damage the door seal.
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent, then wipe dry.
The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according to the manufacturer's specifications. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they may scratch or damage the surface.
Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions and blockages.
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. Contact a qualified technician or service provider.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.

To clean, 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. NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint filter.
TROUBLESHOOTING
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. 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.
Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
A: 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.
Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?
A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. 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.
Q: Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle?
A: When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the dryer displays the number of garments rather than 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 big (big) setting.

Before Calling for Service
This dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.
Operation
| Problem Possible | Cause Solutions | |
| The Flow SenseTM indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting. | After clearing the restriction, the Flow SenseTM system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow SenseTM indicator is reset. | If the Flow SenseTM indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. |
| Dryer will not turn on Power cord is not properly plugged in. | Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer's rating plate. | |
| 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 does not heat 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. NOTE Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. | |
| Gas supply or service is turned off (gas models only). | 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 display error code. Verify that other gas appliances in the home are working normally. | |
| Energy Saver option selected (on some models) | If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the energy saver option. The Energy Saver option is selected by default. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode. | |
| Display show error code nP | Electric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect. | Check the power supply or the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. |
| Display show error code gAS | Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only). | Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open. |
| Clothes take too long to dry | 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. | ||
| Clothes take too long to dry | 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. NOTE Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. | |
| 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. | ||
| Clothes take too long to dry | Energy Saver option selected (on some models) | If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. |
| Drying time is not consistent | Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent. | 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. |
Performance
| Problem Possible | Cause Solutions | |
| Greasy or dirty spots on clothes | 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. | |
| Clothes are wrinkled | 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. | |
| Clothes are shrinking | garment care instructions are not being followed. | 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. |
| Lint on clothes 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). | |
| Lint on clothes Excess static | Static in clothes. 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. | |
| 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. | ||
| Excess static in clothes after drying | Fabric softener is not used or used incorrectly. | Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD 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 AUTO 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. | |
| Clothes have damp spots after a SENSOR DRY cycle. | 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). |
Error Codes
| Problem Possible | Cause Solutions | |
| Error code: tE1 through tE7 | Temperature sensor failure. Turn off | the dryer and call for service. |
| Display shows error code: PS (electric dryers only) | Power cord is connected incorrectly. | Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. |
| *Flow SenseTM indicator shows four bars during the drying cycle or the display shows "d80" after drying | 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. | |
| * 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 appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting. | If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow SenseTM 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. |
| The Flow SenseTM indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting. | After clearing the restriction, the Flow SenseTM system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow SenseTM indicator is reset. | If the Flow SenseTM indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. |
| Clean Filter indicator light is on during the drying cycle | 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. |
| The display shows d90, d95 | The duct work is about 90%-95% blocked.(“d90” or “d95” error code is displayed for 2 hours only) | 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. |
| House exhaust system blocked. | 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. |

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ASISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to "LG" mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to "dispute" or "claim" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the "Notice of Dispute"). You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of LG's receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after LG's receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person's or entity's product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue between you and LG.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/ territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attain to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys' fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys' fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for 25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds 25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser's purchase of the product by either (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: "Arbitration Opt Out;" or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://www/lg.com/ca_en/support/repair-service/schedule-repair and clicking on "Find My Model & Serial Number").
In the event that you "Opt Out", the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG agree to attain to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty and the End User License Agreement ("EULA") in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over the EULA.
