How to Use the Dryer Function on Your LG ThinQ Washer Dryer Combo

Using the dryer function on your LG ThinQ washer dryer combo allows you to dry clothes after washing or dry items that are already clean. The process typically involves selecting the appropriate dry cycle directly on the machine or via the LG ThinQ app.

Here's how to use the dryer function:

Using Dryer Cycles Directly on the Machine

Most LG washer dryer combos offer several drying cycles optimized for different fabric types and load sizes. To use the dryer directly on the unit:

1. Load Your Laundry: Transfer the wet clothes from the washer drum to be dried. Ensure you do not overload the machine, as this can affect drying performance. Refer to your machine's manual for load capacity guidelines.

2. Close the Door: Securely close the washer dryer door.

3. Power On: Press the Power button to turn on the machine.

4. Select a Drying Cycle: Use the cycle selector knob or buttons to choose the desired drying cycle. Common cycles include:

   Cycle Name	Typical Use Cases
   Normal Dry	Everyday items, cottons, mixed loads.
   Perm Press Dry	Wrinkle-resistant fabrics, synthetics.
   Delicates Dry	Fragile items, lingerie.
   Timed Dry	Allows you to set a specific drying time.
   Air Dry	No heat, for refreshing items or delicate fabrics.
   Dry Only	For items that are already washed or just need drying, as highlighted in customer support resources.

5. Adjust Settings (Optional): Depending on the cycle, you may be able to adjust temperature settings (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Air Dry) or dryness levels (e.g., Very Dry, More Dry, Normal Dry, Damp Dry).

6. Press Start: Once your cycle and settings are selected, press the Start/Pause button to begin the drying process.

Using the "Dry Only" Feature

The "Dry Only" feature, often highlighted in resources like customer support videos, is specifically designed for drying clothes that you have already washed (perhaps in a separate machine) or items that are already clean but damp.

To use Dry Only:

• Place the items you wish to dry into the drum.
• Power on the machine.
• Select the "Dry Only" cycle from the cycle options.
• Adjust any available settings like time or temperature if needed.
• Press Start.

This cycle focuses solely on the drying function without performing a wash.

Using the Dryer Function via LG ThinQ App

LG ThinQ technology allows you to control your appliance remotely using your smartphone. If your LG washer dryer combo is connected to the ThinQ app:

• You can check the status of a cycle.
• You can download new cycles.
• You can start cycles, including drying cycles, remotely.

To use the dryer function via the app, you typically select the desired drying cycle within the ThinQ app interface and initiate the start. Note: You often need to enable the "Remote Start" feature on your machine before leaving, allowing the app to begin the cycle later. Specific steps within the app may vary slightly depending on the version.

Using the LG ThinQ app provides convenience, allowing you to manage your laundry from anywhere.

Whether you choose to operate the dryer directly using the machine controls or leverage the remote capabilities of the LG ThinQ app, understanding the available cycles will help you achieve the best drying results for your clothes.
