Q: QuestionIs it gas operated(3 answers)
A: AnswerWhen I purchased it it gives me the option to purchase electric or gas so yeah, it should have the option for gas!Answered by Giselle
- A: AnswerHi there! Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that you’re seeing an 80% vent blockage message on your LG model DLEX5500V dryer, even though the builder has confirmed that the vent is clear. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take next: Check the Vent Hose: Ensure that the vent hose connected to the dryer is not kinked or crushed. A bent hose can restrict airflow and trigger blockage messages. Inspect the Dryer Exhaust: Make sure the exhaust vent, where the hose connects to the exterior of the home, is clear and free of obstructions. Sometimes, lint or debris can build up at this point. Clean the Lint Filter: Ensure the lint filter is clean and free of lint. A clogged lint filter can also affect the dryer’s performance. Verify Vent Installation: Confirm that the venting system is installed correctly and that all connections are secure. Improper installation can sometimes cause airflow issues. Reset the Dryer: Try resetting the dryer by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes clear false error messages. If the issue persists after these steps, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to assist you further and help resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience. —Renzo

- A: AnswerHi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG DLEX5500V dryer. We understand that the D80 error code can be an issue, especially with a long vent pipe. Given your setup with 25 feet and two 90-degree turns, airflow may be restricted, causing the error. We recommend checking and cleaning the lint filter regularly and inspecting the vent system for blockages. Please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to assist you further. We appreciate your patience. —Avril
Answered by LG Digital Customer Care
- A: AnswerHi, Seth. Thank you for reaching out to us. When setting up the LG Dryer model DLEX5500V for side venting, it is crucial to ensure proper clearance for effective ventilation. The recommended clearance of 5 inches at the back is primarily to accommodate the venting system and ensure safe and efficient operation. Reducing this clearance might impact performance and safety. For optimal results, it's best to follow the installation guidelines provided. If you need further assistance or have any more questions, please send us a private message on our social media platform via @LGUSSupport. We appreciate your patience. ^Sam

Smart machine works like pro
I recently purchased the LG 7.4 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer in Graphite Steel, and it has completely transformed my laundry routine. The sleek and modern design looks stunning in my laundry room, and the build quality is top-notch. Performance: The steam and sensor dry features are game-changers. The steam option is perfect for refreshing clothes and removing wrinkles, saving me the hassle of ironing. The sensor dry function works incredibly well, ensuring that clothes come out perfectly dry without over-drying. It even adjusts the drying time automatically based on moisture levels, which is super energy-efficient. Ease of Use: The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate, even for someone who’s not tech-savvy. Plus, the smart features are a huge plus—I can monitor and control the dryer using the app on my phone, which makes multitasking a breeze. Capacity: The 7.4 cu. ft. capacity is perfect for handling large loads, including bulky items like comforters and blankets. It has significantly reduced the number of loads I need to do each week. Quiet Operation: One of the standout features is how quiet it runs. Even on high settings, it’s barely noticeable, which is ideal for open-concept homes. Overall Value: At $999.99, it’s worth every penny, especially considering the energy savings and the $100 gift card promotion. I highly recommend this LG dryer to anyone looking for a high-performance, stylish, and energy-efficient appliance. It’s a fantastic investment for a modern home.

Sleek and impressive! LG wins again.
Preface; replaced a set of LG front loaders that were 15+ years old, and had no reason to look to a different brand as we had very good success with LG. Debated between this and the 4000 series models, opted for the newer model, as it was basically the same price as the 4000 series. Also didn't have depth to new other brands, this unit only measures 29.75 inches deep, which is what our old unit was, so knew it would fit into laundry closet. No regrets so far, although we are only about 2 weeks into new ownership. Drying controls are all in one centered digital dial, which I wasn't sure how I'd feel about, but they are super easy to use and follow. Many pre programmed cycles, as well as the ability to create your own. Drying times are significantly better than our old unit, which, isn't surprising since they were 15 years old! But the matching washer spin cycle gets a lot more water out of the clothes than the old unit as well, which means less drying time. Yes, this is also a smart featured unit, you don't have to use those features, but if paired with your phone, you will be able to get notifications of cycles done, it will track how many cycles you've run and help monitor proper cleaning, etc, and you can set it up to actually remotely start (or restart) the unit if you aren't in the same room. Oh, and you can 'pair' it with the matching washer, and the dryer will know the approximate size of load you just washed and dry accordingly. Have only tried that once so far, but it seemed to work! Again, wasn't sure how I'd feel about having all those 'extras' but it's really kinda cool if you are into tech at all! Overall, very pleased with the dryer so far. Lint filter very easy to clean. Drying times much lower. Recommended!
