LG dryer error D80 – Restricted airflow

_{Is your LG dryer taking too long to dry clothes? The D80 error means that 80% of the airflow is blocked, which can cause overheating and increase fire risks.}

Common causes:

• Clogged lint filter 

Built-up lint reduces airflow, making drying inefficient.

• Blocked vent hose 

A twisted or clogged vent hose restricts hot air from escaping.

• Obstructed exterior vent 

A buildup of lint and debris in the outside vent prevents proper airflow.

• Faulty moisture sensor 

If the sensor malfunctions, the dryer may misread moisture levels.

How to fix it:

1. Clean the lint filter 

Remove and clean it after every load.

2. Inspect and clear the vent hose 

Straighten kinks and remove any blockages.

3. Check the exterior vent 

Ensure it’s free from lint and debris buildup.

4. Test the moisture sensor 

If drying times remain long, the sensor may need replacement.

Pro tip 

Schedule vent cleanings every 6-12 months to improve efficiency and prevent overheating.
