LG Styler – Troubleshooting Odor in Clothing after Cycle

  • Troubleshooting

At a Glance

Clothing having an odor after a cycle can be caused if items were not cleaned properly, items did not completely dry, or it is time to perform maintenance.

Try This

  1. Choose a Different Cycle

    If odors still remain on your clothes after the [Normal] cycle, run the [Heavy] cycle or [Sanitary] cycle as they produce more steam.

  2. Run an Additional Dry Cycle

    Thicker items, such as coats, jeans, etc., can retain moisture after the [Refresh] cycle is complete.

    Run the [Gentle Dry] cycle to remove any remaining moisture.

    Note
    • After the cycle is complete, take clothing out immediately and leave the Styler open for air circulation.
    • Leaving clothing in the Styler for long periods after the cycle is complete can cause the moisture and odors inside to be absorbed into your clothes.
