Customer reviews for LG 7.3 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with LCD Digital Dial Control and Wi-fi, Easy Load® forMember photos
Love it
Love my new dryer. My old LG was slowly dying and taking forever to dry. This new one is quick and efficient. I like the fact that I do not have to fill a container anymore with water for the steam feature, which I use a lot. Having it able to connect to the LG App is really convenient. I also like the duo door which is convenient for loading and unloading. Overall very happy and no complaints. My previous dryer lasted 14 years so I'm hoping this one does too.

AI Drying cycle works great!
The dryer works really well. All the settings, the special AI driving drying mode and overall programmability make it a very useful dryer for our family! I would have given it a "5", but the unit did have an issue with the exhaust vent inside the dyer, as the dryer kept catching articles of clothing and ripping the item. HOW EVER, LG Service was able to replace the part and the dryer has worked well since the update!
Hi! It is wonderful to hear that the smart AI features and custom programs on your LG dryer are keeping laundry day running smoothly for the whole family! We appreciate you bringing that initial vent detail to our attention. We will definitely pass your feedback along to our product team, and we are glad our service team was able to get everything sorted out promptly for you. ^James
New Features Not an Advantage
Dryer has features but regret paying the high price for them. The top is not flat so stuff falls off when you wash and dry clothes. There is a check you have to take the time to push to ask if you have cleaned the lent out. Feature to cut off when things are dry but sometimes it cuts off too early.
Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your review regarding your LG DLEX8600WE Dryer. We value your feedback on the features and design of your dryer, and we want to ensure you get the best drying performance out of your appliance. As a brief troubleshooting step, ensure that the Sensor Dry cycle moisture sensor bars inside the drum are clean and free of residue build-up, and try selecting a higher dryness level setting or using a Timed Dry cycle when drying small or mixed loads to prevent early shutoffs. You can review more information on why a dryer might shut off early at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-why-does-my-dryer-turn-off-abnormally--20150485215101?srsltid=AfmBOooo0C9jG8eug83cOfuOknHMLhZ9rb8sFfRFCQYMqqiOcJU9oAes.

Worse Than The Earlier Version
Like most unnecessary “upgrades”, this new version is terrible. The dryer light doesn't work consistently. The clothes & dryer sheets get bunched up at the threshold of the door so everything comes out wrinkled. The machine is slanted so you cannot use the surface as a folding area because everything slides right off onto the floor. The lint trap is difficult to clean because it's folded & all the lint collects in the crease. Also, for every load, you have to dial the knob through many menu options prior to even starting the machine. Lastly, it has a very sparse design which looks cheap.
Hi, Melanie. We appreciate you taking the time to share your review regarding your LG DLEX8600BE Dryer. We recognize your experience with the drum light consistency, clothes bunching at the door causing wrinkles, the slanting surface, lint filter cleaning, and menu navigation. To help reduce clothing wrinkles and support proper operation, ensure the dryer is properly leveled front-to-back and side-to-side using a bubble level, avoid overloading the drum so items tumble freely, and clear the lint filter before every load. You can also view helpful guidance on turning on the drum light at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-washer-how-to-activate-the-drum-light--1366663020592?srsltid=AfmBOopnbDBBWO0lMoL1ErLU-CFA0IycanUSz7txicYSviJIfZ-eS7qC and reducing wrinkles at https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-troubleshooting-wrinkle-clothes--1337625976471?srsltid=AfmBOoqrqDCmkbhuu_9UAm5Eq6pqgZEIgD8SrMmrabncyt6wW87EGirF.

Worst Dryer Ever
Apparently there is a known issue where a gap between the lint filter and drum catches clothes (mostly draw strings) and ruins whatever clothes get caught. We have had this dryer for 1 month and it has already ruined multiple pieces of clothing.

Terrible
I purchased this set 4 weeks ago, dryer ruins clothes, everything gets caught and twisted, LG sent out a repair man that replaced the “design flaw” near the lint filter. It still catches and twists everything, not to mention my clothes are never fully dry even after 60 min on high. The washer twist and wraps everything together. I am very unhappy with this purchase. My friend bought the same set and is having the same problem. Why are you still selling this set with a known design problem? These aren’t cheap.
Hi. We appreciate you sharing your experience with your LG DLGX8601BE Dryer, and we want you to feel confident that we’re here to support you. We hear how the twisting, snagging, and incomplete drying have affected your laundry routine, and your detailed feedback helps highlight the areas that may need attention. When clothing gets caught or damaged near the lint filter area, checking that the filter is fully seated, the housing is clear of debris, and the drum is rotating smoothly can help reduce fabric catching. For damp loads, confirming the venting path is clear, the load size allows for good tumbling, and selecting a sensor‑dry cycle aligned with the fabric type can improve results. Our guide walks through the key steps to prevent damage and improve drying performance: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-clothes-are-damaged--20154720307749 If you’d like us to take a closer look at your unit or explore next steps together, feel free to email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

Design Flaw Snagging and Twisting Laundry
There is a design flaw where the channel and gap between the lint filter housing and the drum housing can snag edges of your laundry as it spins around inside the dryer. This has nothing to do with the lint filter being dirty or not seated fully. In fact, it has nothing to do with the lint filter. The design flaw is the channel and gap between the lint filter HOUSING and the dryer's drum housing snagging laundry. This does not happen with all loads, but happens consistently and regularly enough to be a design flaw issue, warranty case, and/or lemon case.
Hi. We appreciate your time sharing your review for your LG Dryer model DLGX8601BE. We always aim to provide a gentle and efficient care experience for your laundry, and we want to help ensure your garments stay in pristine condition. To keep your items moving smoothly, we recommend inspecting the drum interior for any temporary obstructions, ensuring loads are sorted by fabric weight, and using a mesh garment bag for delicate or loose-threaded items to safeguard them during the cycle.

Ruining clothing
This dryer has a design flaw that causes clothing with drawstrings and/or clothing made of thin material to be ruined. The drying includes a plastic housing that holds the lint filter. There is a gap between this housing and the rest of the dryer. Frequently, drawstrings or thinner materials will get caught in this gap. Meanwhile, the rest of the garment is getting spun around by the other clothing. In the short time we have owned this dryer, we have had several drawstrings ripped off and other clothing items ruined due to being stretched out or ripped. The only solution seems to be to put all clothing in mesh bags, which is ridiculous for a dryer this expensive. LG needs to redesign this housing. To do right by its customers, LG should offer a fix for customers who already purchased the machine.
Hello, Benjamin. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG DLEX8600BE Dryer. We appreciate you letting us know how the lint filter housing has affected your laundry items, and we understand how important it is for the drum and filter area to handle delicate fabrics and drawstrings without causing damage. Clothing getting caught near the lint filter can happen when lightweight items move toward the front of the drum, and using mesh bags for items with straps or strings can help protect them while drying.

Horrible appliance
Stay away. Known manufacturing defect, yet LG still sells it. Don't be fooled into buying this so-called high-end appliance. Not worth the headache. Will ruin your clothes- twists them up between the lint catcher and drum. So many of my clothes have been ruined and LG's resolution team refused to call me back- I've been waiting for 5 weeks. Where are you?
Hello, Sarai. We appreciate you sharing your experience regarding your LG DLEX8600WE Dryer. We recognize your experience with clothes catching near the lint filter area and the follow-up communication from our team. To help prevent garments from snagging or twisting, make sure the lint filter is pushed completely down flush into its housing before starting a cycle.

DO NOT BUY! Design Flaw
Dryer gets clothing, draw strings, and dryer sheets stuck between the drum & lint filter and has ruined multiple articles of our clothing. We actually exchanged for another unit assuming it was a defective item, but the second dryer had the same issue, so we returned.
