Are you seeing error codes, 'D80' or perhaps 'D90' or 'D95' on your LG dryer, and have no idea what it means? Well don’t worry, LG dryer codes D80D95 are only a warning, but one that you should take seriously. ‘D80’ is the first code you would normally see since it indicates that your dryer’s airflow is 80% restricted, and that there is the beginning of an underlying issue aside from some simple lint buildup. If you’re at an 80% restriction of airflow within your dryer, it’s a cause for concern. Something is causing that buildup, and it needs to be dealt with soon before it becomes a serious fire hazard. Luckily, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to fix it!

What is LG Dryer Code D80?
Error code D80 within LG dryers simply implies that 80% of the airflow within the dryer is restricted and will result in less efficient use of the dryer. It’s also an indication that even if you clean out the lint trap and the exhaust vent, there may be other areas within the exhaust vent system that a restriction is occurring. D80 is the first error code you will see before seeing codes, 'D90' and 'D95', which if seen would be a sign that the overall situation is worsening.

LG Dryer Error Codes D90 and D95
D90 and D95 are error codes that will appear indicating the exhaust system is getting worse and is now clogged approximately 9095% and above, respectively. D90 and D95, as well as D80, are error codes that arise in LG dryers using the ‘Flow Sense’ system. This is a system using a sensor within the dryer’s exhaust vent to detect airflow restrictions to notify the user and prevent safety hazards from arising and causing catastrophe, such as a house fire.

•D80: Blockage of 8090%; dryer will still function but will do so less efficiently and will take longer to dry completely.
•D90: Clog of 90% or more; dryer will begin to 'cool down' and stop working to prevent any hazards from occurring.
•D95: Airflow restriction 95% or above; dryer will 'cool down' immediately and stop working.

If your dryer indicates ‘D80’ and has four full bars on the gauge, it will still operate, but those bars and the error code are a warning sign to inspect your dryer’s ventilation and clean it. Due to the type of warning this is, it’s imperative that you clean your dryer as soon as you see it.

What Do LG Dryer Codes D80, D90 or D95 Mean?
The locations of your dryer’s ventilation issues will usually revolve around its exhaust where the tubing meets the dryer to vent lint and other debris outside, the lint trap where lint is designed to catch, and below the lint trap in the open chassis space of your dryer.

What Do LG Dryer Codes D80, D90 or D95 Mean?
If you find your lint trap is broken or is allowing lint to slip through, it needs to be replaced immediately. You can find any compatible lint trap for your dryer throughout our wide range of dryer filters.

If you’ve cleaned those spots thoroughly and your dryer is still showing an error code, check to make sure the vent to the outside isn’t clogged and restricting airflow. Many homes have their vents on the side of the house, whereas others have it on the roof, so finding the exhaust vent is of utmost importance to making sure the air can flow freely .

Conclusion: When To Call A Technician
No one wants to have to call a technician, but in a situation where your dryer simply is not working the way you want it to, it’s the best option. At this point, if you have exhausted all options and are perhaps facing other issues as well, it's recommend you get in touch with your local certified repair tech. However, this is a short list of housekeeping items to ensure your dryer is error code free:

•Clean your dryer’s lint trap after every use.
•Clean the lint vent on the outside of your home every month.
•Vacuum around, behind and under your dryer every month.
•Clean the exhaust port on your dryer once every 36 months.
•Remove the lint trap and vacuum inside of the dryer every 6 months.
•Ensure the ventilation is not crushed and contains as few bends as possible to prevent lint buildup.
•Test, repair, or replace parts such as the heating element, thermal fuse, and temperature sensors.

Even though it may be more work than most people want to do, it can be very satisfying and reassuring to clean your dryer. And it's even more satisfying to not have the constant thought of your home burning down each time you use it! Now, clean that lint and get back to having warm and dry clothes!
