To stop your LG dryer mid-cycle, the simplest and most direct method is to use the POWER button.
Stopping the Cycle
When you need to interrupt a drying cycle that is currently running on your LG dryer, follow these steps:
- Locate the POWER button on your dryer's control panel.
- Press this button firmly while the cycle is active.
Based on the provided information, pressing the POWER button during a cycle will effectively cancel that cycle.
What Happens When You Stop Mid-Cycle?
It's important to note the consequences of stopping the cycle using the POWER button:
- Cycle Cancellation: The current drying cycle will immediately stop.
- Settings Lost: Any specific settings you had selected for that cycle will be cleared. If you wish to restart or begin a new cycle, you will need to re-select your desired options using the cycle selector knob and other buttons.
This action is the standard way to pause or completely end a running cycle on LG dryers as described in the provided reference.
If you only need to briefly pause the cycle, some models might have a dedicated pause button, but pressing POWER is the reliable way to fully cancel the operation. If you open the door, most dryers will pause, but the cycle doesn't necessarily end until you close the door and press start again or press the power button. Pressing the POWER button is the method to stop or cancel the cycle entirely.
