LG DLE8400WE 7.3 Cu. Ft. Ultra Large Capacity Rear Control White Electric Dryer

We purchased what is rated as one of the top gas dryers according to Consumer Reports. We have had it approximately 7 weeks. During that time we have had 4 loads which resulted in clothing being damaged. There is a gap between the bottom of the drum and the lower plate inside the door. Items become caught in this gap and are twisted into a ball and damaged to the point where they are no longer wearable. After buying the washer and dryer from LG I did research and found similar complaints on the LG website. We also find it difficult, if at all possible, to customize out drying temperature.

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.

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.

Consumer Reports recommended this dryer, however, my clothes have not once dried, remaining damp when the damp cycle is at 0. Also, the controls are in black against black and are hard to read. This might be a dud washer or the operator is not cognizant on how to use this dryer. It would be nice to know how to operate this dryer so I don't have to replace it.

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.

If you are looking st this dryer for use with propane, do not buy it. Contacted LG and they told me to contact installer and propane company. I did and both verified everything seemed ok with their part. Lg was no help. Don't waste your time and money on this as it does. It work with propane.

Probably the greatest reason to avoid AI. Unlike non-AI, non-WiFi dryers you can't modify the default settings; you have to log in to the app and download a custom setting - and you only get one. The AI setting seems to know only 1 temperature setting - incinerate. Previous dryer was a non-intelligent LG - which worked great - I could pick a setting and modify it. Hopefully somebody at LG sees this and releases a S/W update that allows modification to the default settings. Otherwise this 2 month old dryer is destined to be replaced by a non-AI model.

Worst dryer I have ever owned and the washer that goes with it is even worse than the dryer. Nothing is ever completely dry after the first cycle AND the clothes come out VERY wrinkled. I have to iron every pair of pants that comes out of there (even dry fit comes out wrinkled) and if I didn't refuse to iron T-shirts, those would need be ironed as well. I have had this unit barely over a year. I will never purchase LG again and I'm counting down the days until I can afford to dump this and buy a new one.

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.................
