A Canton homeowner called about their LG dryer running hot and shutting off with an error to check the filter. The unit had never been cleaned internally or had maintenance, but when we arrived, we discovered the real problem wasn’t what it seemed.
The Problem
The dryer was running hot and shutting off. It gave an error to check filter. The unit had never been cleaned internally or had maintenance.
Diagnosis
The outlet on the wall that the dryer was plugged into was not connected properly. This caused the dryer to randomly shut off.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Rectified the outlet connection issue and cleaned out the lint screen housing while it was apart
- Result: The clothes dryer is cycling properly with good heat function
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG dryers are generally reliable appliances with good longevity when properly maintained. The DLEX3250W is a solid mid-range model that’s worth keeping in service, especially when the fix is as simple as correcting an electrical connection issue rather than replacing expensive internal components.
Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers
- Clean the lint screen after every load and periodically wash it with soap and water to remove fabric softener buildup
- Check and clean the exhaust vent outside your home quarterly to prevent restricted airflow
- Have the internal lint housing professionally cleaned annually, especially if you’ve never had maintenance performed
