The DLGX5171V is an LG gas dryer. Discontinued — LG’s own US product page flags this exact model discontinued (read 24 September 2026); it is out of production but not out of the field, and it is exactly the kind of model that has nowhere else to turn for support. On this platform, the tE1 fault code is one of the more common reasons it gets a service call.
Service calls on this dryer most often trace to one of a short list: the tE1, tE2 or dE fault codes. We confirm which one applies against the model and serial number before ordering a part.
