LG Tromm Dryer Gets Too Hot (FIXED)

The customer got a used LG Tromm washer and dryer and set up a few days ago. They both function, but the dryer only gets hot intermittently. The dryer vent circuit setup isn't great, the owner has to use a flexible hose, so it would be helpful to set up a semi rigid or rigid vent. The vent probably needs to be blown out too as the owner doesn't know the last time this was done. If all of this doesn't fix the dryer temperature issue, the client is going to buy a new appliance. When you deal with the same issue, don’t be too fast to throw the unit away. The single most common reason why clothes dryer overheat is restricted airflow. When there’s a blockage in the internal duct work, the hot air will become trapped inside the drum where it creates potential fire hazard. You should also check the duct work to determine whether or not your dryer has appropriate airflow. With the dryer turned on, go to the outside of your house where the duct exhaust vents. Ideally, you should feel air blowing out of the vent. If there’s a blockage, however, you may feel little-to-no air. And if you really want to be on the safe side, you can get professional help that will take out the stress and the high costs, when and if something happens.
