A:AnswerMy LG dryer is louder than any other dryer I’ve owned, it hasn’t been an issue since it is located in our garage. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t make a difference but my dryer is flat black.
A:AnswerHello there, thank you for your question! We understand you're asking if it's possible to change the vent from the back to the side on the LG DLG8401WE Front Load Gas Dryer.
Yes, this model supports side venting, and you can switch the vent to the side. To do so, you’ll need to purchase the Side Venting Kit (part number 383EEL9001B), which is designed specifically for this purpose.

A:AnswerIt does both. You can open it from the side or press the latch and make it drop down. It doesn't drop down all the way though. From their manual:
The LG EasyLoadTM can be tilted open from the top, hamper-style, allowing you to easily load the dryer without items falling on the floor. The door still swings open to provide easy access for unloading or loading of bulkier items. The door hinge can be reversed to adjust to the installation location.
A:AnswerHello there! We understand your inquiry about the LG DLG8401BE 7.3 cu ft Smart Gas Dryer and running it on propane instead of natural gas.
This dryer is propane (LP) convertible, but it does not come with the conversion kit in the box. To convert your unit, you’ll need the LG-approved Propane Conversion Kit (part # 383EEL3002D / LPK1), which can be purchased separately through our Parts Store or an authorized LG service center.
Troubleshooting Step: Once you’ve installed the propane conversion kit, always perform a gas leak test on all connections before operating. Mix a small amount of dish soap with water, apply it to each fitting, and look for bubbles—this confirms a secure seal. Also, verify that your gas supply pressure matches the specifications in the installation guide to ensure optimal drying performance.

A:AnswerHello there! Thank you for your inquiry regarding changing the door orientation on the DLG7401VE dryer. It’s understandable to seek clarity on this process, especially when the manual doesn’t provide detailed instructions. While the standard procedure typically involves switching the door from right to left, changing it to open down (or as a hamper door) may require additional steps not outlined in the manual.
To assist you better, we recommend checking the dryer’s specific assembly instructions or guides that may be available on our website. Alternatively, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport, and our team will do their best to provide you with the necessary guidance. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue. Thank you for choosing LG!

A:AnswerThank you for your interest in the LG 7.3 cu. ft. Ultra Large Capacity Smart wi-fi Enabled Rear Control Gas Dryer with EasyLoad™ Door (DLG7401VE) model. The LG DLG7401VE dryer does not have a specific "bedding" function that spins in one direction and then the opposite to untangle large comforters and such. You can download its owner's manual through this link for more information: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-DLG7401VE.ASSEEUS. ^Cris
A:AnswerYou need to purchase a conversion part listed for the dryer when you purchase the dryer. This part is needed for an licensed professional installer to convert the dryer from natural gas to propane. 199 dollars installation plus about 40 dollars for the part.
Order from the store not online. Get the part and installation scheduled when you purchase.
It's a major problem if you order online believe me.
