I have an LG Tromm Gas Dryer, which between one load and the next stopped working. The solid light (not blinking) says Check Filter.

I have cleaned out filter (first thing I do when starting a new load). No change. The Dryer stills shows the check filter and hums (the drum will not move)after it hums it then stops. I think that the belt might be broken, but I don't know how to check inside the frame of the dryer. Any help would be appreciated.

Remove top by removing two screws on back of unit near top on plastic parts-bottom screws. Pull top back about 1" and then lift up. Belt should be around drum. Pull on belt , if broken will come out. If missing, then broken and has fallen into bottom of dryer.

SOURCE: Dryer won't work, Check Filter light is on

I had exactly the same problem with my newish LG dryer. I deduced that the dryer's computer essentially needed to be rebooted. I pulled the plug for a minute or so, then plugged it back in. It works perfectly now.

You might need to check the exhaust on the rear of the Dryer, or the blower motor iether one has lint inside, restricting the air flow

SOURCE: dryer keeps stopping - check filter light on

For Sgt 48 - You are not reading the original message very well - The original help question didn't say they saw check filter at the beginning or end of a dry cycle they indicated that the dryer STOPS MID DRY and says check filter - this is not a friendly reminder, it is indicating something is wrong and the filter needs to be completely cleaned out (and past the filter down in the interior of the dryer) and if that does not work then you need to also check the dryer hose for kinks, lint build up, etc. Lastly, reset the dryer by unplugging it (or flipping the breaker) for a minute or so and hold down on the start/pause button for 8 seconds while it is unplugged (this will reset the error code for check filter, among other things).

Hi


As you have already cleaned the lint then unplug the unit for around 15 minutes and plug it back, then reset the unit by pressing the start/pause button & hold it for 15seconds. After doing all this if the issue is not solved then, the Thermal fuse which is located inside the back cover panel to the exhaust duct, should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Ours does the same thing. We bought it used so did not get a manuel with it, but I think it's the same thing. I think it flashes to get peoples attention. Maybe it's a safety feature to help prevent fires.

My dryer Lg Tromm model number DLG5988 is blowing cold air, changed sensor bars still not drying- also the check filter light stays on and it's in cool mode and dry keeps blinking, what could it be?

sensor bars just measure humidity so dryer knows when close are dry, so will have no effect on heating. the check filter light is just a reminder, not connecter to any sensor or anything. could be several issues: gas valve solenoids, thermal fuses, etc. but for a quick try that might work, try just unplugging the dryer, push and hold the on button for about 20 seconds and then plug back in and see if the dryer is reset. works sometimes. good luck

Hi,
If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

The check filter light keeps coming ob to my lg tromm dryer model dle2514w. I cleaned the lint filter and also cleaned the air duct in theback, what else could this be

Clean the vent all the way to the outside.
The dryer will take 4-5 loads to reset the filter sensor.

Mahe sure the vent is not smashed behind the dryer.

LG Gas Stacking Dryer

The check filter light comes on every load to remind you to clean the lint filter. Cooling only happens when that light is flashing not when it's on solid. If this is a gas dryer check the exhaust hose and vent on the outside of the house. If it is blocked it will not let the unit get to the correct temp due to cycling.
