Customer reviews for LG 7.4 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with TurboSteam forRhythmic Noise
I really do love this washer and dryer.....however, there is one anomaly. The dryer works wonderfully, but makes a continuously rhythmic light clicking sound. The dryer drum is designed in such a way that the outside ridges of the drum "knock" lightly against part of the frame, or something like that. LG sent out an amazing LG expert. All is well, but the noise. We have to close a door we had not had to close with the old set.

I am very pleased with my purchase. I like the various settings, the large capacity and the low noise. The drying times seem to be adequate.

Too complicated to use easily
My biggest issue was getting used to the controls on this dryer. They are more complicated than necessary, and sometimes selecting one choice cancels out a previous choice selected. I believe this dryer is more concerned with its technology than the simple, ease of use I'm used to and comfortable with.

Lint Compartment Ruins Clothes
I HATE this dryer. No matter how much I clean out the lint compartment, it doesn’t stick in. Therefore, I just had multiple tank tops and bras completely ruined and stretched out because they get caught on the lint compartment won’t shut all the way. This has been going on for over a year and no matter how much I clean it, it never goes in.
Hello, Evalyn. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG DLGX4001W Dryer. We recognize your experience with garment damage occurring when the filter frame does not seat flush into the housing slot. To address this issue, ensure the lint trap cavity is completely cleared of lingering debris using a vacuum attachment, as packed lint inside the lower housing can prevent proper insertion, and verify the filter casing itself is not bent or warped. For visual guidance on maintaining and clearing the filter housing, please visit https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xtZYF8Bz2Hw. We want to help ensure your laundry setup operates smoothly and safely for your home. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further support. ^James
Disappointing Dryer
I have been highly disappointed with this LG dryer. Despite the premium price and features, my clothes consistently come out tightly balled up and heavily wrinkled, which defeats the purpose of having a modern dryer. On top of the poor drying results, the control interface and features are overly complicated and not user-friendly. I expected much better performance and ease of use from an appliance in this tier.
Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your review regarding your LG DLEX4000W Dryer. We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we want to ensure you get the best possible performance and ease of use from your appliance. As a brief troubleshooting step, try shaking out garments before placing them in the drum and avoiding overfilling the load to give items room to tumble freely, which helps minimize twisting and improves overall drying evenness.

Wrinkles and features not working
Dryer causes all my clothes to come out wrinkled. When using steam fresh feature to take out wrinkles, clothes come out wet and worse then they were before. And the wrinkle minder setting on dryer does not work!
Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your LG DLEX4000W Dryer. We understand how important it is for your garments to come out ready to wear, and we want to help you get the best performance from your appliance features. As a brief troubleshooting step, ensure you are not overloading the drum, as proper airflow is essential for the steam feature to smooth out wrinkles rather than leave fabric damp, and check that the Wrinkle Care option is fully selected prior to starting the cycle. For additional guidance on managing garment texture and preventing tangling, you can reference https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-why-are-my-clothes-wrinkling-or-tangling--20150720870979?srsltid=AfmBOoqBZZPCBt1Tjk4RCXOkF4mu5hdbGpUWHmV3k4iEl7meJHekji97.

Not so great
⭐☆☆☆☆ This dryer has had drying performance issues since installation. Despite proper setup and troubleshooting, clothes remained damp after full cycles and airflow-related warnings appeared repeatedly. The unit seems unusually sensitive to vent configuration, making installation and operation more difficult than expected. Overall, a frustrating experience for a new appliance.
Hello. We appreciate your time sharing your review regarding your LG Gas Dryer, model DLGX4001B. We always strive to provide powerful drying performance and excellent efficiency across all of our Dryer models, and we want your laundry routine to be smooth and effective. To help resolve airflow indicators and ensure your garments dry completely during a single cycle, we recommend checking that your external home exhaust vent ducting is thoroughly cleaned of lint buildup, verifying that the rigid or semi-rigid ducting is not pinched or kinked behind the machine, and running a regular sensor dry cycle with similar fabric weights together. For a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough on optimizing your heating and drying efficiency, please visit our official troubleshooting resource here: 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.

Horrible! Lint backs up onto dryer door
Dryer makes knocking noise and lint backs up onto dryer door and gasket. When you open the door debris falls out everywhere and is stuck on the gasket, that I have to brush off myself and clean that mess up as well. Techs tell me it’s because of my exhaust duct is too long. Specifications state I can have up to 36ft, I have 20ft with 3 elbows. All within the range. LG tells me it’s not a common problem and they don’t know what to do. Refuses to replace my dryer. Techs just check pressure and blame vent. Dryer exhaust has been completely cleaned out so that’s not the issue. This product is built poorly and LG will not accept responsibility. I wouldn’t recommend this dryer to anyone!! Option to upload pictures is here but won’t let me upload. Go figure!
Hello. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG DLEX4000W Dryer. We want you to feel supported with both performance and next‑step options, and your feedback helps us see what’s been happening on your end. When a knocking sound occurs or lint gathers near the door, confirming that the dryer is level, ensuring the lint filter is fully seated, and checking that the exhaust duct has smooth airflow can help improve performance while a technician evaluates the drum rollers, seals, and vent path.

Controls are very poorly designed
I hate this dryer. The default cycle is "Normal" which gives you the highest temp setting, "hot", for 41 minutes. You CANNOT CHANGE THE DEFAULT CYCLE. Since I rarely dry on hot, I have to change the clunky cycle changer dial to another setting that is also full of defaults of time and temperature. If you happen to want to change the default of the time or temp of another cycle, you have to press the button on the bottom of the panel for "Timed". Only a few icons light up on the panel - most of them don't, so they are hard to see in my laundry room. There is no cycle called "Timed Cycle" which would have been useful. I've had this dryer for a year, so I can't get rid of it for several more years and that makes me mad and sad. Whoever designed this crappy dryer must have never done laundry.
Hi. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Dryer. The way you described the cycle setup, the default settings, and how the controls function in your laundry space gives a very clear picture of what you’re working with day‑to‑day. Your feedback about the dial behavior, temperature presets, and panel visibility is helpful for us to understand how the design is affecting your use of the dryer. To allow us to properly investigate the details of your specific product model and to see if there is anything we can do to assist with this cycle‑selection and control‑panel issue being encountered, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com if you need further assistance.

LG Dryer Filter Tore After Just a Couple of Uses
I’m disappointed with the quality of the LG dryer filter. After only a few uses, the filter has already torn. For a product from such a reputable brand, I expected better durability. It’s frustrating to deal with this issue so soon, and I hope LG will take this into account to improve the quality of their components in the future
