How to Reset an LG Tumble Dryer
If your LG tumble dryer is displaying an error code or not responding correctly, performing a reset can sometimes clear temporary electronic faults and restore normal operation.
A reset will not repair mechanical problems, but it can help resolve temporary glitches caused by power interruptions or control board issues.
How to Reset an LG Tumble Dryer
- Turn the tumble dryer off using the power button.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
- Wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully reset.
- Plug the tumble dryer back into the power socket.
- Turn the appliance back on.
If the issue was caused by a temporary fault, the tumble dryer may now operate normally.
