Cleaning your LG dryer's lint trap is a simple process that helps maintain its efficiency.
Regularly cleaning the lint filter in your LG dryer is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
Steps for Cleaning Your LG Dryer Lint Trap:
Here are the steps to effectively clean your LG dryer's lint filter:
- Locate the Filter: The lint filter is typically located inside the dryer door opening.
- Remove the Filter: Pull the filter straight out to remove it from its housing.
- Remove Bulk Lint: Gently remove the accumulated lint by hand or by pulling it off. This should be done after every cycle.
- Deep Cleaning (If Needed): If the filter is heavily soiled or has residue from fabric softener sheets, a deeper clean is necessary.
- Clean under running water: Hold the filter under a running tap of lukewarm water.
- Use a brush if needed: If residue persists, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the insides of the filter.
- Dry the Filter: Leave the filters to dry completely before placing them back in the dryer. Ensure they are thoroughly dry to avoid moisture buildup.
- Reinsert the Filter: Once dry, slide the filter back into its slot in the dryer opening until it is fully seated.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning the lint filter after every load and occasionally deep cleaning it, ensures your LG dryer operates safely and efficiently.
