How to Dry Only on an LG Washer & Dryer
LG manufactures a line of washer and dryer units that combine the functions of both. You add dirty laundry to the front-loading machine, select a cycle and return several hours later to clean, dry clothes. The dryer operates with a ventless system, so it takes longer to dry clothes.
Still, LG notes in its product literature that the appliance is more energy-efficient than standalone dryers. If you only need to dry clothes, perhaps to loosen wrinkles, the combo appliance can be set to dry only.
-
Place no more than 10 pounds of damp, wrung-out clean laundry in the front loading compartment of the LG appliance, and close the swing door. A 10-pound load of damp laundry is the equivalent of five bath towels, according to the LG product-support website, which notes that combo washer-dryer appliances have a smaller capacity than their separate counterparts.
-
Press the power "On/Off" button and then the "Dry" button on the control panel at the top of the appliance. This sets the appliance exclusively to the drying cycles and bypasses the washing cycles.
-
Dial the "Dry" button clockwise to select from the five dryer settings available on the appliance.
-
Press the "Start/Pause" button to start the selected drying cycle.
