Built-in Intelligence Takes Out The Guesswork

Forget about endless sorting or toggling through cycles-built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture and load size, then automatically select the right drying motions and temperatures for advanced fabric care. AI Sensor Dry™ detects moisture levels and automatically adjusts drying time for loads of all sizes-no more damp clothes, no more overdrying. With Smart Pairing™, the washer can even tell the dryer to select a compatible drying cycle 1 , making it the ultimate laundry hack.

Image Feature

Smooth, Quiet Performance

Run the dryer whenever you want, without interrupting naptime or your favorite show. This dryer is designed for quiet operation, from the motor to the cabinet to individual components. Pleasant end-of-cycle chime lets you know when clothes are dry.

Image Feature

Win the War on Wrinkles

When you hate wrinkles but can't be there to remove clothes as soon as they're dry, just select the Wrinkle Care option before hitting start. The dryer will periodically tumble the load for up to 3 hours after the cycle is done or until the door is opened to help keep wrinkles at bay.

Image Feature

Spend Less Time On Laundry With More Room For Clothes

Free up your day-fit more clothes in every load with 7.3 cu. ft. of space. Running fewer loads saves energy and money on your utility bill.

Image Feature

Get Laundry Day Dialed In

LG's built-in intelligence and electronic controls with LED display make it easy to get laundry day dialed in. Not only can you easily access all the cycles with a turn of the dial, but you can also quickly modify any cycle using the touch panel for total laundry control.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Ripped clothes/dissatisfied

Miran736 1/3/2025

11/11/24: I bought washer WT8405CW and dryer DLG8401WE on Nov. 11 from LG website. My clothes were getting ripped frayed and torn see photos I noticed fabric and dryer sheets getting caught on the front of the dryer near the lint trap see photo. They got so trapped you could barely pull them out. I requested a repair and was given 12/13 8-12pm for service. 12/13: No one showed up for the repair. I contacted LG. They said no one accepted my repair and said someone would come on 12/16 12/16: I was scheduled for 12-4. Contacted service at 4 because no one showed up and was told he was running late. Repair man showed up at 4:30. He said the dryer drum needed to be tightened and did so. After he left I did more laundry and the problem was still occurring. I called LG to report it and asked for a manager. LG has horrible customer service. I spent 1hr 40 minutes on the phone 47 of those minutes were waiting to talk to a manager and no one was ever available. I was told a manager from escalation would call me I never got a call. 12/17: I called LG again and was told a manager would call me back. They called that night. I was told they would escalate this to a Presidential Liaison and I would get a call. They never called. 12/18: I get a text from the presidential liason not a call. 12/19: the repair service comes out and says the whole front of the dryer needs to be replaced. I called LG to request to speak to the Presidential Liason. I got a phone call from her later on. I explained everything and requested a replacement as I didnt pay full price to have a refurbished dryer. I was told I cant get an exchange and only repair. I was told I only have 48 hours to exchange even though the machine is defective. I was told a repair man would come out. I would get a 2yr extended warranty on the machine and a check for my ripped clothes. I was scheduled for repair on 12/26 and was told she would call me on Thursday to check in no call was received. 12/26: I was scheduled for 8-12. No one showed up. No follow up call from LG liason. I texted the presidential liason. She told me it is not their issue to handle. I was rescheduled for 12/27 4-8pm. 12/27: No one showed up I texted service and got no response. 12/30 I got a text request to come on 12/31 New Years Eve no thank you especially after 3 no shows We set an appointment for Thursday 1/2. 1/2/25: Repair man comes out replaces front of dryer. I take out my clothes from the washer and discover pulled thread everywhere and the trim of my sweatshirt ripped off halfway around see photo so now it us evident that the washer is also ripping clothes. I messaged the Liason and so far havent heard back. I will be back to update this review.

Great dryer

Kellcahill 12/10/2024

I bought this dryer in may of 2024 and have loved it since. We had an issue recently regarding a recall on the door hinge and an LG repair man came and fixed no charge.

Shameful Customer Service

Worthlesscompany 11/25/2024

I have never had such a poor experience with purchasing a product. I bought this dryer from Home Depot in August. It is now late November and it has never worked. I have had a technician out 4 times the gas company out twice and it still doesnt work. The fact that the dryer doesnt work isnt the worst part. The worst part is the unbelievably poor customer service. They have protocols that they must follow which means that they will not refund or replace the unit until the technician has condemned the unit and the manufacturer agrees. In short it means that they are allowed to lead you along and are fine with you not having a working dryer while they follow their protocols. I will never under any circumstance buy from LG again and I advise you to avoid this company at all costs.

No right side vent for gas models- stupid design

Gregory A 10/12/2024

I searched specifically for dryers with side venting and when I went to install it I found that gas models dont support right side venting. Not only that but the gas line sticks out at the bottom right by 3 so I also cant rear vent and turn right with the pipe which is the way I need to go. And even if the vent went somewhere else I cant push the dryer up against the wall because the gas line sticks out so far rather than being mounted at an angle or at least cut back closer to the back of the unit. I havent been able to use it because I need to build some crazy venting contraption to hook it up.

Great features

Darren129 10/9/2024

We bought an LG washer and dryer in 2023 and in 2024 decided to sell our house. The buyers wanted both items as they knew they were new with warranties on them. So we had to buy replacements. We bought new AI washer and dryer set in 2024. We love the AI feature where we can just set it and the computer figures out how to wash or dry the clothes. Also love the scheduling features too.
