    JOHN,
    LG Dryer Error Code nE = Vibration Sensor Error = This error code shows when the Vibration Sensor Communication is not working such as vibration sensor register setup error or removal.

  2. My LG DLE5955G just had the heating assembly replaced and now the Est Time Remaining just flashes and dryer will not start. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  3. It is actually trying to spell gAS. This message means that the dryer is not getting the proper gas supply. You should make sure the gas valve is fully open. If this is a new install and opening the valve does not resolve the issue, you should contact the installer. If the dryer is not new and the gas valve is fully open, the unit needs service.

  4. Hi Leah,
    Did you ever get this sorted? If so what was the fix?

    Our 3 month old dryer is doing the same thing and we had a gas plumber check all the lines and everything is fine but the dryer is still giving issues.

    Thank you.

  5. LG dlex3250 dryer no error codes just a flash of lines going around display where the amount of time is.

  6. I have an LG dryer that will run for a few seconds then stop for a minute or so then repeat that process. I did the diagnostics on it and the flow sensor went to four bars. So I took apart the filter system and cleaned it completely. I also cleaned out the vent system. I seem to have good airflow from the dryer when the vent is unhooked. I also have essentially the same airflow from the outside. I have tried resetting the dryer with no results. Any ideas on what can be causing this?

  7. Mine just started happening as well. It’s actually “gAS”. I called Lg and they said to make sure the gas valve is on and that it’s not kinked.
    I ended up having to have someone come out and check it out

  8. I just purchased my lg dryer from Best Buy outlet I am also getting a 9A5 code that I cannot find in the manual!! Please help!! Dryer won’t dry and stops in the middle of cycle .

  9. I have the same problem. 9A5 is flashing. This thing is brand new. I am so pisssd right now. The code is not listed anywhere. Does any company do the right the thing anymore. Can’t find answers. It’s brand new!

  10. Dryer stopped working and started flashing a “9A5” code. Not listed in manual, and I can’t find it anywhere online.

  11. My codes are 18 E8. The dryer will start and run fine if you hit start multiple times. Is it the motor? The power wire to the control board wont click in but does get power . It will pull out easily, wont lock in.

  12. Have a new dryer about 3 months old. Unit stopped drying and giving an error code 9A5 which I cannot find anywhere… My model IS DKGX7801

  13. When I turn on my LG Steam dryer it beeps real fast and the check filter light is flashing. I cleaned the sensor and it is still doing the same thing.

  14. I had an error code to replace the door switch, which I did. Now when I select the power button, it turns the dryer on and then I select a dryer setting, the lights come on and when I push the start button the dryer does not start running and instead there is only a clicking sound and the drying light flashes on and off. There are no other error codes.

  15. I turn the dryer on & it starts than it stops & the code EE2 comes up? I turn off & start again & all is fine? What does this code mean?

  16. My LG Tru Steam dryer will not turn off. There is no error code (the screen is blank) and the dryer will only turn off when the door is opened. The dryer is not heating when it is running, the vent is clear. To stop the dryer the dryer must be unplugged. The tech is here and is stumped. What is a possible cause/remedy? The dryer is 1.5 to 2 years old.

  17. power button turns dryer machine on and the select a dryer setting lights come on and I can select a dryer setting but when push the start button the dryer does not start running and instead there is a clicking sound when I push the start button and the processing drying light flashes on and off
