If you’re tired of soggy clothes or endless drying cycles, it’s time to master the art of drying clothes in your LG washer dryer. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step, ensuring your clothes come out fresh, dry, and wrinkle-free.

Understanding Your LG Washer Dryer

LG washer dryers come with various features and settings that can impact the drying process. Familiarize yourself with the following:

• Sensor Dry: This feature automatically adjusts the drying time based on the moisture level of the clothes.
• Timed Dry: Allows you to set a specific drying time.
• Temperature Settings: Choose from high, medium, or low heat settings depending on the fabric type.
• Wrinkle Care: Reduces wrinkles by tumbling the clothes periodically during the drying cycle.

Preparing Your Clothes for Drying

Before tossing your clothes in the dryer, follow these tips:

• Sort Clothes: Separate clothes by fabric type and color to prevent fading or shrinkage.
• Shake Out Clothes: Remove excess water by shaking out the clothes after the wash cycle.
• Avoid Overloading: Don’t cram the dryer too full, as it will restrict airflow and prevent proper drying.

Selecting the Right Drying Cycle

Choose the appropriate drying cycle based on the fabric type:

• Normal: Suitable for most cotton and linen items.
• Delicates: For delicate fabrics like silk, lace, or sheer materials.
• Heavy Duty: For thick or bulky items like towels or jeans.
• Air Dry: No heat is used, ideal for drying sensitive fabrics or preventing shrinkage.

Adjusting the Drying Settings

Optimize the drying process by adjusting the following settings:

• Sensor Dry: Select the desired dryness level (e.g., normal, more dry, less dry).
• Temperature: Choose the appropriate heat setting for the fabric type (e.g., high heat for towels, low heat for delicates).
• Wrinkle Care: Enable this feature to minimize wrinkles.

Monitoring the Drying Process

Keep an eye on the drying cycle:

• Check the Clothes: Open the dryer door occasionally to check the progress and prevent over-drying.
• Lint Trap: Clean the lint trap regularly to ensure proper airflow.

Unloading and Finishing the Clothes

Once the clothes are dry, follow these steps:

• Remove Promptly: Unload the dryer as soon as the cycle is complete to prevent wrinkles.
• Shake and Fold: Shake out the clothes to remove any remaining wrinkles and fold them promptly.
• Store Properly: Store the clothes in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
