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

Refresh Clothes With Steam In Between Washes

Go ahead, wear it again. TurboSteam™ technology reduces wrinkles and odors in garments when you don't have time to wash. Also refreshes children's toys, decorative pillows and more.

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 intuitive LCD dial make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. Streamlined controls give you more of what you need with each turn of the dial, from helpful prompts to status updates to remaining cycle time. Easily access more than 20 cycles and quickly modify any cycle using the touch panel for total laundry control.

Image Feature

Shiny and New.

Just because you want your dryer to last for years doesn't mean you want it to look its age. The NeveRust® Stainless Steel Drum is built to keep drying your clothes more efficiently without showing wear and tear.

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.

Great except lint filter broke

Dav13 9/12/2024

I bought this about 5 - 6 weeks ago as part of replacing our washer dryer. The dryer works great with one exception. The lint filter broke less than two weeks after we started using it. Because I was traveling since then this is the first chance I have to address this issue.

AI Cycle is AWESOME

Sori H 8/30/2024

The AI mode customizes the temperature and time depending on the weight and type of the load. The normal mode on my previous dryer took 60+ minutes and I needed to manually stop the machine if I wanted to shorten the cycle. Now I can let AI decide and not worry about wasting energy. Plus the machine is so quiet and I can barely tell if the machines on or not. I am a family member of an LG employee and I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
