Reading the dryer display

On a dryer the code shows in the time-remaining window or as blinking status lights. Write down the characters before you press anything, because starting a new cycle usually clears the display. LG codes are short letter pairs; a capital O differs from a zero.

LG appliances show short alphabetic codes (OE, IE, UE on washers, Er plus letters on refrigerators) and, on ThinQ models, a Smart Diagnosis option. LG also builds many Kenmore Elite units. The codes apply to model numbers such as LDF7774ST, LDT5678SS and DLEX3900B; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

What causes PS

How to fix it

  1. Turn the dryer circuit breaker off for at least 10 seconds.
  2. Turn it back on.
  3. Check the outlet for looseness and the plug for heat marks.
  4. Run a short cycle to confirm.
  5. If the dryer still does not heat, request a repair.
