Q: Does this have reversible door?
A: HI Devi. Thanks for reaching out. For the LG - 7.4 cu. ft. Smart Electric Dryer w/Steam and Sensor Dry has Reversible Door. When space is tight or your laundry room doesn’t fit a “typical” setup, this dryer’s door can easily be reversed to fit your needs. Go from a right swing to a left swing in minutes—just unscrew the hinges and reattach using the pre-drilled holes on the opposite side. ~Jai.
Q: Does a king comforter fit and gets dried nicely in this??
A: Yes. The dryer has plenty of space. You might consider timed dry
Q: How much space is needed behind the dryer? How far will it stick out?
A: The recommended installation clearance spacing for behind the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 7.4 cu. Ft. Smart Front Load Electric Dryer with AI Sensor Dry & TurboSteam™ Technology, Model # DLEX6500W is 5 inches. The dryer has a depth of 29 3/4" so if you add the recommended installation clearance for the back, that will be 34 3/4" so how far it will stick out will depend on the depth of the space that you install it in...^Ivan.
Q: What accessories are needed for installation.
A: Hello, Chris. To generate steam for the steam functions, you will need to purchase a new water supply hose to connect the water inlet on the ENERGY STAR® Certified 7.4 cu. ft. Smart Front Load Electric Dryer with AI Sensor Dry & TurboSteam™ Technology, Model # DLEX6500B to a cold water supply line. Do not reuse old hoses. A 'Y' connector is included with the dryer that can be used to share the cold water supply line between the dryer and your washer. A power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the appliance terminal block IS NOT supplied with electric dryers so you will need to purchase that separately. Depending on your local codes, or in their absence, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, you can use a 3-prong or 4-prong UL-listed power cord that must be connected to the dryer's terminal block...^Ivan.
Q: how do I fill the Tru steam sensor dry
A: Hi there, Jo. Thank you for reaching out. We understand your question about filling the TruSteam™ sensor dry on the LG DLEX6500B dryer. The TruSteam™ feature in this model is designed to help reduce wrinkles and refresh clothes by using steam. It's not something you "fill" manually. Instead, the dryer has a water reservoir that needs to be filled to activate the steam functions. Here's how you can do it: Locate the Water Reservoir: It’s usually at the top of the dryer. Fill the Reservoir: Open the compartment and fill it with clean water (do not use distilled water or any additives). Select Steam Cycle: Once the reservoir is filled, choose a cycle that uses the TruSteam™ feature, such as "SteamFresh™" or "SteamSanitary™" from the available programs. Once these steps are followed, your TruSteam™ should be ready to go! https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-dlex6500b-front-load-electric-dryer#pdp_specs If you continue to have issues or need further assistance, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and we'll be more than happy to assist you further.

So I’ve been using this dryer for 5 months and can honestly say that now that I’ve put it through its paces and figured out its quirks, I absolutely love it. As with every dryer there are alway Pro’s and Con’s. I’ll start with the high level pro’s in case you don’t care to read the whole review. The DLEX6500W drys fantastic, is quiet, has a lot of cycle options, some better then others, love the smart capabilities and how it tells me when my load is done/I can remotely extend the cycle from my phone, looks beautiful with the rose gold, love the LCD dial control, has a light in the drum (nice bonus), #1 most importantly has a stainless steel drum (important since the DLEX6500W has a steam feature, plus it won’t chip over time like aluminum alloy painted drums can if you are drying heavy clothing with buttons etc) and what ended up being the #2 most surprisingly important feature to me, which I was clueless about until I started reading the reviews on LG’s other models, the lint screen/trap on this model is located external to the drum which helps to avoid getting lint all of your cloths and floor each time you remove the screen to clean). No seriously, it’s a HUGE complaint on some of their lower end and higher end dryers. My biggest advice to you prior to buying is to make sure you double check what Best Buy lists on the spec of each dryer with what the manufacturer has listed. On Best Buy’s appliance comparison, I originally purchased the DLEX5500W because it was cheaper, and said it had a stainless steel drum. But after I happened across the manufacturers website, i found that Best Buy incorrectly lists the 5500 as having a stainless steel drum, when in reality it’s painted aluminum alloy. I’ve found this issue with multiple appliances on the Best Buy site, so if there is a feature that is truly important to you, fact check on LG’s site before you purchase. Now for the quirks. You will notice a lot of reviewers complaining about an error message of having a 90% blocked duct with instructions to clean the lint screen and or ducts. Oh yes, this will happen to you, even if you just had your ducts professionally cleaned. Don’t be put off by this. After you’ve confirmed that there are truly no blockages, this is what I’ll tell you. The LG sensors are hyper sensitive. The way you get around this quirk is the following: 1. After every load, wipe the lint screen with a paper towel on both sides. Don’t just use your hand, cuz somehow this ridiculously hyper sensitive dryer will detect lint particles unless you use a dry paper towel. 2. After you are done with laundry for the day, along with wiping down the lint screen with a dry paper towel, second step, wipe it with a wet paper towel or, run it under the water faucet for a few seconds and let it air dry over night before placing back in the dryer. Once I started doing that, I stopped receiving the 90% blockage error message. I’ve done a lot of research on this. It won’t matter what model you choose, this will be the problem and the solution for all of them. Lastly honest opinion on dryer program settings. I use power dry the most as it gets everything the most dry the fastest. AI clean I found works best for clothing only. Don’t bother with the heavy items on this setting because you’ll be waiting for hours to dry. Towel setting is fantastic. Heavy blankets/comforter setting, meh, don’t waste your time that just went on and on. Steam setting is great. Overnight setting to keep cloths from wrinkling AWESOME. In summary, if it comes down to the DLEX6500 and DLEX5500 for you, pay the extra $100 for the DLEX6500 and you’ll get a stainless steel drum and a lint screen located external to the drum. I have zero regrets with this purchase.
