Customer reviews for LG 7.3 cu. ft. Electric Dryer forMember photos
Negative ghost rider
It worked for a year and a half then the heating element went out. It never really dried good. Doesn't make noise or vibrations. I wouldn't recommend because the warranty expired before I even paid it off.

Stopped heating after 2 years
Had the machine repaired twice. Stopped heating. Third time. I'm done. Piece of junk. So disappointed and really, I'm not rich. Having to buy another dryer right now is gonna hurt pretty bad.

Poor Drying
Since it was delivered the sensor in the dryer has not functioned as it should. Even when put on Very dry it will frequently leave them damp. LG sent a service man, he stood over it for 30 minutes, declared all worked right and left. It still does not dry well on any of the preset settings, Normal, Permanent press, etc. He said we just have to use timed dry!!! Then why is there a sensor??? Not happy with LG or the dryer.
Hello. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG DLE6100W Dryer. We recognize the situation you have faced with the sensor cycles leaving items damp and the general drying performance of your unit. To help improve the sensor accuracy, we recommend wiping down the metal sensor bars inside the drum with a damp cloth and a little rubbing alcohol to remove any residual fabric softener buildup, as well as keeping your load sizes consistent.

The most HORRIBLE lint trap of all time!!
The dryer works about as well as a dryer should. However, the settings are really weird. When you use the ‘sensor dry' settings like ‘normal, heavy duty, delicates, etc you are unable to change the heat setting at all. That leaves the manual dry time options of ‘60, 40, and 20 minutes (plus air dry) where you can adjust the heat settings. I dry all my clothes on low for 60 minutes and unfortunately that means I have to always run it twice. Wish you could do a sensor setting on low. The noise and vibration is pretty loud honestly, but I knew that you get what you paid for so I wasn't really that bothered by anything that I just mentioned. The biggest problem however, is that the lint trap is THE MOST inconvenient and unthought out feature that I have ever seen on an appliance. When you take the filter out and clean it, little bits and pieces of lint stick to the outer rim that are very tedious to get off. Fine, whatever. Not a huge deal. But there's all sorts of little crevices and pieces of metal for pieces of lint to get caught and stuck in and with the opening being about an inch wide it's impossible to get them out without using a tweezers. Today after having the dryer for about 6 months or so, I realized just how deep that lint trap is—IT'S VERY DEEP AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OUT. I clean that thing out (or try too) before every load, and I just looked down into there with a flashlight and the amount of buildup down there is insane and I genuinely have no clue how I am going to get it out. Maybe it's just me, I was used to having a dryer from the 90s that worked forever and the lint trap wasn't such a pain to clean out every time. But I don't think they gave the design for this lint trap any thought before approving the design and going ahead with it. Excuse me while I find something that I can makeshift into working for cleaning this ridiculous thing out!! DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Hi. We appreciate you sharing your experience regarding your LG DLG6101W Dryer. We recognize your experience with the preset cycle temperature options, sound levels, and lint trap maintenance on your unit. To help clear lint from deep within the housing, please use a narrow dryer lint brush or vacuum hose attachment, and check that the dryer feet are level to help reduce operational sound, or view our helpful guides at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-noise-from-the-dryer--20154774023458?srsltid=AfmBOooincE53ZxepNSW3RIvQbJGh5j-H70yKYNj3li1k3RmN1Ldknu0 and https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/combo-unit-lint-issues--1337695812363?srsltid=AfmBOoqbZ-u-AwSBRJscsY-rFTvXCp2-R3WdvEk1QuUuAajgqNWOEnhk.

JUST WANT A-WORKING DRYER
My dryer worked for about 10 loads. Dealing with LG has been absolutely a challenge of my sanity. We FINALLY got a repair man to come and it was the delicate igniter. Now we wait another 10 days for part and another appointment for repair. The repairman was was good, and I have no complaints about him. I do NOT want email sent to me or calls from Chatbot or AI !!!
Hi, Donald. We appreciate you taking the time to share your review regarding your LG Gas Dryer, model DLG6101W. We recognize your shared experience with the igniter issue, the scheduling of your repair appointment, and the communication you have received. To help ensure your dryer functions safely and efficiently while you await your service visit, we recommend verifying that the external exhaust vent hood outside your home is completely clear of lint, debris, or bird nests, which will allow for proper airflow once the heating components are fully repaired. Additionally, keeping the internal lint filter completely clean before every load helps protect sensitive internal heating sensors and igniter assemblies from overheating. We want to help ensure your laundry setup operates perfectly and comfortably for your household. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further support. ^James
Simple and Super
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a great experience from shopping on the webpage to purchase to delivery to now enjoying using it. It isn't fancy but means less can go wrong. It is quiet, no vibration, runs great, and my clothes are dry and quicker than our old dryer.
Hello there, Martha! Thanks for the great note. Always wonderful hearing your dryer is giving you that smooth, quiet performance and quick, reliable drying that fits so well into your routine. If you ever need anything later on, our friends at @LGUSSupport are ready to help. #LifesGood ❤️ ‑Rich
Not the Dryer the Advertising Promises
This dryer does not perform the way the advertising leads you to expect. From the very first loads, it became clear that the moisture‑sensing system does not behave as described. The dryer repeatedly shuts off before all clothes are dry even when all clothes have very similar thicknesses. When the sensor touches one single dry item it will end the entire cycle while other items remain damp, and this happens consistently across normal household loads. We tried every setting, every cycle type, and every reasonable variation in how we loaded the machine, and the behavior never changed. The dryer simply does not complete a full load on its own. You end up restarting cycles again and again just to finish what should have been a straightforward drying job. For a major appliance, this is a fundamental performance problem. The way the sensor system operates creates a real, everyday frustration that buyers should be aware of. The advertising suggests a dryer that automatically adjusts and finishes loads accurately, but that is not what happens in regular use. People should not rely on those claims when deciding whether this model will meet their needs. Based on our experience, it does not deliver the performance described, and I would not choose this model again.
Hello. Thank you for sharing your review and experience regarding your LG DLE6100W Dryer. We appreciate your detailed feedback about the sensor dry cycle performance, and we want to help ensure your appliance dries your laundry efficiently. As a quick troubleshooting step, try cleaning the moisture sensor bars located inside the drum near the lint filter with a soft cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove any invisible fabric softener buildup, or consider using the Timed Dry cycle for mixed-weight loads to ensure consistent heating. You can also explore additional tips to improve performance by visiting our guide at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-why-is-my-dryer-not-heating-not-drying-or-taking-a-long-time-drying--1432223739634?srsltid=AfmBOor1nE_kQMEPJMTyt5eTTYeJVISvAnB8W2xIK4UkG3Uz5Zsoycds.

Bad idea for me to try to buy it here
After 2 weeks of ordering the delivery guys came and told the dryer is having mold all around, screws are rusted, etc., so they can't deliver & install and left. I wasted a day of my work for this and have to deal with a lot of time & stress. Sam's & LG are pointing at each other for refund and I am stuck in between. I just need my refund, so I can buy something from a nearby appliance store. It's 3 weeks since we are able to wash & dry our clothes.

HATE IT!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I HATE this dryer!!!! It takes multiple cycles to get items damp! LG says the lint has to be cleaned out, I've had it cleaned out TWICE in the 9 months I've had it! I spend ALL day trying to dry 2 loads! It's ridiculous! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! Plus there's no way to turn off the end of cycle chime!!! There is no internal light either!
