Are you keeping the condenser inside the dryer clean?
Do you want to learn how to use the [Condenser Care] function?
The condenser is a component of the dryer that changes hot, moist air from the wet laundry into dry air.
Small dusts not filtered out by the filter can enter the condenser with the air and adhere to the condenser.
For this reason, LG Electronics’ dryers have an integrated auto condenser cleaning feature which automatically runs every time a drying cycle is used.
If you would like to clean the condenser additionally, then operate the [Condenser Care] function.
- Operating [Condenser Care] after using cycles without drying such as [Air Dry], helps to wash the dust off better.
- Before using [Condenser Care], make sure to check how much dust has collected in the filter and if necessary, clean the filter.
- Please note that this feature is not supported on gas dryers and electric dryers. Make sure to check the type of dryer you are using.
