[LG dryer - dust] The door gasket leaves dust stains

Do you see dust stains on the door gasket after using the dryer?

Causes and Symptoms

• Humidity inside the dryer causes moisture on the door gasket.
• The filter is clogged with dirt and contaminants.
• You ran the machine with your laundry full of dirt.

There is a door gasket that seals moisture inside the dryer while running.
If humidity inside the dryer increases, water drops may gather around the gasket, and at this time any dirt which fell off your laundry would stick to the surfaces and clothes.
In addition, a filter inside the dryer that is covered with lots of dust may hinder smooth ventilation, leading to a higher humidity and an easier gathering of dust.
Towels, fur clothes, and others that create lint easily may be the cause of this problem.

Is the filter covered with lots of dust?

➔ Regularly clean the filter to ensure smooth ventilation.

It is recommended to clean the inner filter every time you run the dryer, and clean the outer filter, every 10 times it is run.

Cleaning the Filters
