Q: How deep does a closet need to be in order for this dryer to fit?

A: Does your closet have a door? The LG 7.3 cu. Ft. Ultra Large Capacity Rear Control Electric Dryer with LG EasyLoad™ Door and AI Sensing, Model # DLE8400WE, has a depth of 29 1/4" (50 1/2" D with door open), and it has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and the rear for recessed or closet installation spacing. You may want to consider additional spacing for ease of installation and servicing. Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2 ) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable...^Ivan.

Q: is there a light inside the dryer

A: Hi there! Thank you for your question about the LG DLE8400WE Electric Dryer. We understand that having a light inside the drum can be a convenient feature. This model does include a drum light, which enhances visibility when loading or unloading your laundry. However, the specific operation of the light—such as whether it turns on automatically when the door is opened while the dryer is off—is not detailed in the specifications or manual. We are currently working with our engineering team to clarify this feature further. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please feel free to send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to provide you with any additional details and assist you further. https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-dle8400we-electric-dryer#pdp_specs We appreciate your interest in LG and are here to support your appliance needs! —Renzo

Q: Can this electric dryer be bottom vented? Does the door on the dryer reverse? For bottom vent, what kits should I prepare?

A: Yes, the dryer can be vented to the bottom; there are instructions in the manual. The dryer door does reverse; I did it myself and it took about 45min. I am not sure about the kit, but it shows to use a 4" 90' elbow. This could probably be purchased at your local home improvement store.

Q: New dryer for me. Clothes getting stuck on the inside of the unit. Brand new towels shredded, waist pulls getting caught in the same place and spun defecting the clothing. Pictures attached show threads still in the unit's interior front(sensor?) Remedy?

A: Hi there, Maria. We understand your experience with the new DLE8400WE dryer, where you are noticing clothes and fabric threads getting stuck on the interior front of the unit, and even causing damage to your laundry. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It is helpful to know that this unit features a lint filter that requires regular cleaning. A clogged lint filter can sometimes prevent the unit from effectively collecting lint, which could potentially contribute to fabric issues. A simple troubleshooting step you can try is to ensure you are cleaning the lint filter thoroughly before and after every use, and visually inspect the filter mesh for any tears or damage that might be letting large debris bypass it. LG Dryer lint] There is a lot of lint left on fabric after drying - https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-dryer-lint-there-is-a-lot-of-lint-left-on-fabric-after-drying-CT10000012-20154713333687 If you continue to experience this issue with your unit or if you would like us to investigate this matter further, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo

Q: Do you have to download the app to use the dryer?

A: No, we never downloaded any app. And we're using the dryer just fine.

Q: is the top of dryer slanted

A: Yes, it's slanted. I wish it was level. A basket of clothes will vibrate off. So I purchased a soft rubber pad to put on top, and that stopped it. But we shouldn't have had to do that.

Q: 120v or 220v?

A: 220

    GREAT SET OF WASHER AND DRYER

    Bought the washer and dryer about 3 months ago. Super easy set up. We had to rotate the door to open the opposite way and it was a breeze. The preformance of both the washer and dryer have been great. I love the thin-q option so my phone notifies me when the load is completed and when the lint trap should be vacuumed out.

    Excellent dryer

    Dryer works great and easy to use. Holds more of a load than our previous dryer. Door opens by pulling down from the top or by pulling from the left sideways.

    Amazing!

    This dryer is amazing, truly. Drying time is quick, maybe about 30 minutes a load. Sometimes it will pop up with an error (D85 or D90) though if you are doing too many loads one right after another or doing bulky items, because of the flowsense, it is related to your ducts. Definitely check on your ducts, as that was our issue the first day, it was in desperate need to cleaning out. It's nice to have that warning, but can get a bit annoying if it is just because of a bulky blanket and not actually due to the ducts. The filter itself was a bit confusing at first, I was afraid of breaking it, but there is a little latch for it. It is a bit weird with all the lines to clean it off. Overall a great purchase and in all a load takes not even an hour from wash to dry. It means my family and I can keep up with laundry easier and not fight about using as it doesn't take long. It also means I can do mine later at night after work without worry as it's not loud and doesn't take too long.
