Common LG dryer codes
CL
LG Dryer Error CL: Child Lock Active
The child safety lock is engaged. All control panel buttons are disabled to prevent accidental operation by children. This is not a fault — it is an intentional safety mode that is straightforward to deactivate.

D80
LG Dryer Error D80: Exhaust Duct Is Mostly Blocked
LG dryer error D80 usually means the exhaust duct is heavily restricted and airflow is no longer safe or efficient.

dE
LG Dryer Error dE: Door Not Closed
The dryer cannot confirm that the door is properly closed and latched. The cycle will not start or has paused because the door switch is not detecting a closed door.

E13
LG Dryer Error E13: Drain Hose Issue — Hybrid Dryer Only
On LG hybrid heat pump dryers (ventless condensing dryers with a drain hose), E13 indicates that water collected during the drying cycle cannot drain correctly. This code only appears on hybrid/ventless dryer models with a drain connection — it does not apply to standard vented dryers.
Open E13 guide
F0
LG Dryer Error F0: Lint Filter Not Inserted
The dryer has detected that the lint filter is missing or not properly seated. The cycle will not start until the lint filter is correctly installed. Running without a lint filter allows lint to enter the exhaust duct, creating a fire hazard.

GAS
LG Dryer Error GAS: Gas Supply Problem
The dryer has detected an issue with the gas supply. Either the gas is not flowing when the igniter calls for it, or the gas valve solenoids have failed. This code appears on LG gas dryers only.

Model-family guidance
What can vary by model
- LG dryer display wording and code formats can vary by series.
- If your model behaves differently, check the owner manual before trying any deeper maintenance step.
- LG dryers may show D75, D80, D90, or D95 for the same vent-restriction problem at different severity levels.
- Gas and electric models can both show the same Flow Sense warnings because the issue is airflow, not the heat source itself.
Frequently asked questions
Appliance-level FAQs add supporting context without forcing users into long-form content.
Where should I start with LG dryer error codes?
Start with the dryer overview page, then use the full error code list or open the code that matches your display. Each page gives a quick meaning, safe checks, and escalation guidance.
Are all LG dryer codes the same across models?
Not always. Meanings can vary by series or model, so the guidance here stays conservative and recommends checking the manual for model-specific wording.
When should I stop troubleshooting and contact support?
If the same warning returns, the appliance is leaking, will not run safely, or the next step would require invasive work, it is best to turn it off and contact LG support or a qualified technician.
