LG DLE8400BE 7.3 Cu. Ft. Ultra Large Capacity Rear Control Matte Black Electric Dryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works flawlessly, dries in a short amount of time. Puts out plenty of heat and is quiet. The only downside is one the top is sloped so nothing sits on it and two the control panel is black and difficult to read without a light.

This dryer makes noises since I bought it on and off. Then the noise goes away and later returns. The dryer doesn't work as good as my previous LG dryer that was about 12 years old. I wish I kept my old LG dryer. I only replaced both because my washer was broken.

Control Panel is so dim that I am having to make labels so that we know what cycle to choose from. I've bought new lighting, turned off the lighting in the room; nothing helped it's just too dim. Dries very well but we cannot figure out what setting to put it on if we can't see the control panel. I would send back the washer and drier if they had a control panel that was printed.

while it functions For the most part I have two major issues. The folding lint filter is designed flawed for the frame where the filter folds has broken twice in a little over a year with normal use just from opening and closing the filter to clean it. My other complaint is that for me the black control panel is very difficult to read and so easily fingertip printed. I would sacrifice some bells and whistles for knobs as controls. Lg has replaced the filter twice but now that my unit is over year old the burden will fall on me in the future. The filter needs to be re-designed.

Takes forever to dry. The electronic dryness sensor constantly interferes and slows things down or stops the drying. The exhaust is simply not sufficient to push the hot air out. I have a long run to the outside but have a booster fan that has worked well over the decades. Two previous dryers had no problem with it. The booster fan is working fine and we have had the vent cleaned as well but the LG programming is just too sensitive.

I recently purchased a new dryer and have been disappointed with both the design and overall performance. The biggest issue is the venting system. The vent connection feels poorly engineered, making installation more difficult than it should be, and airflow does not seem efficient. Even with a properly cleaned vent line, the dryer struggles to circulate heat effectively. Drying times are much longer than expected. A normal-sized load often requires two or even three cycles before clothes are fully dry, which wastes both time and energy. Heavier items like towels and bedding come out damp around the edges and need additional drying. The build quality also feels underwhelming for a new appliance. Some components seem lightweight and not very durable, especially around the lint filter and vent connection areas. For the price, I expected a much more reliable and better-designed product. Overall, this dryer has been frustrating to use due to the poor venting design, inconsistent drying performance, and excessive drying times. I would not recommend it unless the manufacturer improves the airflow system and overall quality.

The dryer looks nice but dries much worse than my 18 year old LG that it replaced. Clothes come out wrinkled and the lint trap is ruining any clothes that have a drawstring by eating it and pulling it apart. I was able to request a new lint trap and cover but replacing it did not solve the issues and they were supposed to reach out to me but it's been over four weeks.

If I could do negative stars I would. Don't waste your time with this junk. It looks nice but will give you a d80 and d90 code every time. My one load of laundry has take almost 8 hours to dry because it keeps shutting down. And before you ask, this is a brand new home. The lint vent is perfectly fine and every other avenue as been explored. It's just this hunk of junk that now I am out of money on because LG does not offer a trade up anymore. Go elsewhere.

Dryer ate my clothes for 3 weeks and ruined multiple pants and sweatshirts with string as well as zippers. Can't figure out the dry cycle to even dry the clothes efficiently. Lint containers has already ripped. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LG ANYTHING.................

This washer and dryer combination is the worse laundry product I have every used. My clothes come out of the cycles looking awful, full of hair and lint. I hate it and wish I could return both. It was very expensive and I will never purchase or recommend LG products again.
