Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles-built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right drying motions and temperatures for advanced fabric care. AI Sensor Dry™ detects moisture levels and automatically adjusts drying time for loads of all sizes-no more damp clothes, no more overdrying. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle 1 , making it the ultimate laundry hack.

Image Feature

Smooth, Quiet Performance

Run the dryer whenever you want, without interrupting naptime or your favorite show. This dryer is designed for quiet operation, from the motor to the cabinet to individual components. Pleasant end-of-cycle chime lets you know when clothes are dry.

Image Feature

Win the War on Wrinkles

When you hate wrinkles but can't be there to remove clothes as soon as they're dry, just select the Wrinkle Care option before hitting start. The dryer will periodically tumble the load for up to 3 hours after the cycle is done or until the door is opened to help keep wrinkles at bay.

Image Feature

Spend Less Time On Laundry With More Room For Clothes

Free up your day-fit more clothes in every load with 7.3 cu. ft. of space. Running fewer loads saves energy and money on your utility bill.

Image Feature

Get Laundry Day Dialed In

LG's built-in intelligence and electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. Not only can you easily access all the cycles with a turn of the dial, but you can also quickly modify any cycle using the touch panel for total laundry control.

Image Feature

Open Up to Convenience.

The dual-opening options of the LG EasyLoad™ door make loading and unloading the dryer easier than ever. Transferring wet clothes from the washer? Simply press the release button and pull the door down, hamper style to keep that stray sock from hitting the floor. Removing dry items? Swing the door to the side to clear the way for your basket below. Even tight spaces and challenging laundry-room layouts are no match for versatility like this.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Terrible customer service

Bri K 9/9/2024

Product is great. However I would not recommend ordering directly from LG. Our order was delayed over a month without any explanation as to why and it was nearly impossible to get any answers from LG. When the unit was finally delivered it was damaged and when RXO installed the unit it was hooked up incorrectly resulting in water damage to my home. LG has not assisted in any compensation for the delayed order damaged unit or water damage to my home.

Buyer Beware

Unhappy Buyer 1 9/5/2024

After purchasing this dryer it worked for two weeks then quit had an error code gas used the computer chat feature on the LG site and really got nowhere so we tried it again a few days later and finally got a service call number a request into a local service provider but they have yet to contact us to come out and fix your dryer its been almost a week and we still have not heard from anyone. I am going to try again today to get ahold of someone and hopefully get this dryer fixed. So far not very happy with LG or its products.

Terrible Brand

Christopher Duffy 8/13/2024

The dryer and service have been horrible. It was delivered broken and the parts have taken over a month to come in. I will not be recommending your brand to anyone.

Bought this dryer with the $89 for installation. Only to know on the time of the delivery that I needed to provide a gas connector and because of that the dryer can not be installed. But I still got charged for it.

Good looking set

curt1 7/10/2024

Have had this dryer for 6 weeks and not only is it great looking it dries great too. The only drawback is that I am afraid to use the easy load door. I had the dryer for 2 days and just checking out the features I opened the easy open door top tilts forward and it would not close and we could not use it without a service call to fix the locking mechanism. LG had great customer service and fixed it the next day but the design could use improvement. The model in the store had the same problem except it was taped closed and now I know why.. Needless to say I only use the side open feature now and avoid the easy-open out of fear that it will malfunction again.
