What LED Blinking After Power Off (Auto Drying) Means
An LED that keeps blinking with weak airflow continuing after you've stopped the unit is not a fault - LG's dedicated article explains this means the Auto Drying function is running, an automatic process that dries residual moisture inside the unit after it's stopped, to help prevent fungus, germs, and odors. During Auto Drying, weak wind continues for 5 to 15 minutes with the louver slightly open, and the LED blinks until the cycle completes, at which point the unit fully turns off.
Common Causes of LED Blinking After Power Off (Auto Drying)
- Auto Drying function activated after the unit was stopped
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
No action is needed - let the Auto Drying cycle finish on its own; it's a self-maintenance function, not a sign the unit failed to turn off.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- There's no fault to address - LG's article explicitly says to rest assured, as this is not a product defect.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
