What do d90 and d95 mean on the display?

They report duct restriction as a percentage rather than naming a failed part - LG uses them specifically to flag a vent that is limiting airflow before that restriction trips a thermal safety part or turns into a fire risk. Clean the lint screen and check the outside vent termination first; if the message keeps appearing once the vent has been cleared, the duct run itself likely needs a proper inspection rather than another cleaning.

My dryer runs but nothing seems to happen for the first minute or two. Is that a fault?

Not necessarily - several LG models run a brief sensing or preheat stage before the drum and heat both engage, and that pause is normal. What is worth reporting is a cycle that finishes with the load still wet, or one that has been getting steadily longer over several weeks, because that pattern usually points at restricted airflow rather than a single failed part.

The dryer is very hot to the touch and the clothes are still damp. What should I do?

Stop the cycle and let the dryer cool before opening the lint screen or the cabinet, then check the outside vent hood for a flap that will not open or a duct packed with lint. A cabinet running hotter than normal with a damp load is usually a restricted vent working against the heating circuit, and it is worth having the full duct run inspected before the dryer is used again.

Is a heat-pump LG dryer serviced the same way as an electric one?

The drum, belt, rollers, door and control are common ground between them. What is specific to the heat-pump models is the condenser, the condensate pump and the tank or drain circuit that removes moisture without a duct to the outside - none of which exists on a vented electric or gas model - so telling us which type you have when you book decides what the technician brings to the visit.

Dryers Repair, Done Right the First Time

LG dryers come in electric, gas and heat-pump versions, and while the heat source differs, the complaint that brings most of them in is the same: drying times that have quietly stretched from one cycle to two or three, long before the machine stops working altogether.

An LG dryer’s job is straightforward – heat air, move it through a tumbling load, then get rid of the moisture – and it is the third step where the electric, gas and heat-pump versions genuinely differ. Vented electric and gas models push the moisture outside through a duct; heat-pump models condense it back to water and route it to an internal tank or a drain, running cooler and slower by design as a result.

That is why the diagnosis starts with airflow on every call, before any electrical part is tested. A lint screen that is cleaned but never washed, a crushed transition hose behind the machine, or a duct run that has picked up a bend during a remodel will all produce the same complaint – a hot cabinet and a damp load – and none of them is a failed part. Once the air path is confirmed clear, we move to the heating element or gas valve and igniter, the thermal fuse and thermostats, and the belt, rollers and motor.

We isolate the circuit and let the dryer cool before any panel comes off, and where a thermal safety part has tripped, we find out why before it is replaced rather than simply resetting it and leaving – a dryer that overheated once for a reason that is still there will do it again.

Loud thumping, squealing or scraping while the drum turns

Heat-pump model taking far longer than its stated cycle time
