Error code on your LG dryer?
We decode it and fix it today.
d80, d90, d95, tE1 or HS on the display — most LG codes aren't a dead machine, they're a Flow Sense airflow warning, a thermistor or a moisture sensor caught early. We arrive with the analyzer and a 30-ft auger, decode the code on-site, and quote a fixed price up front. If we don't fix it, you don't pay.
Same-day service
The LG codes we see most — and what the repair involves
| Code | What is happening | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| d80 · d90 · d95 | Flow Sense airflow warning — the exhaust duct is 80%, 90% or 95% blocked. A fire hazard that will overheat and burn out the heating element if ignored. | Professional duct cleaning with a 30-ft auger — clearing the blockage, not just resetting the code. |
| tE1 · tE2 · tE3 | Thermistor failure — the temperature sensor has failed, so the dryer can't control the heat cycle and shuts down to protect itself. | Thermistor replacement — inexpensive, one-visit fix. |
| HS · d | Moisture (Sensor Dry) error — the dryer cuts the cycle short, reading clothes as dry when they aren't. Usually softener film on the sensor bars. | Clean the sensor bars, or replace the moisture sensor if needed. |
| nP · PS · PF | Power-supply errors — wrong voltage (nP), a wiring error (PS) or a power failure (PF). Electric LG dryers need a full 240V (both breakers on). | Outlet, breaker and power-cord check; corrected on-site or referred to an electrician. |
| gAS | (Gas models) A gas-valve problem or no gas supply to the home — the timer runs but no flame lights. | Gas-valve coil replacement or supply-line check, with a certified leak test after. |

Quick Diagnosis: What's happening?
Check the symptoms you're seeing to find the likely cause and repair cost
What's the likely fix?
Check what you see on the left — we'll estimate the cause, the cost and how urgent it is.
Estimate only — the analyzer confirms the exact cause on-site.
Probable cause: belt, rollers, or thermal fuse. Repair: $100–$180, 30–45 minutes.
Probable cause: heating element + clogged vent, or moisture sensor. Repair: $120–$220, 30–60 minutes.
Multiple symptoms + burning smell — possible clogged vent (fire risk) or control board failure. Call immediately.
LG dryer repairs
“Loud squeaking every rotation on our Samsung DV. Tech said Samsung drum rollers wear unevenly and you have to replace all four at once or the noise comes back in 6 months — replaced all of them. Silent now.”
“LG gas dryer not heating. Worried about safety. Tech found a cracked igniter, replaced it, and did a full gas leak check — all included. Fast and thorough.”
“Samsung dryer ran full cycles but clothes stayed damp. Heating element burned out. Fixed in 40 min for $200. New dryer would have been $1,100.”

What you get in one visit
Analyzer diagnostic
We plug in the analyzer — in 5 minutes you see amperage on the element, air temp and vent airflow on the screen. The same data we read.
Free vent inspection
A clogged vent is a fire hazard — NFPA logs ~2,900 dryer fires a year in the US. We check and clean the duct with every repair.
Can't fix it — no charge
Approve the repair and the $89 diagnostic is included. 90-day guarantee on all work, plus a 30-day follow-up call.
Why we fix your dryer right the first time
The average tech guesses: "not heating — swap the element." Didn't help. "Then the thermal fuse." Still nothing — you pay three times. Our analyzer reads amperage, air temp and vent airflow in 5 minutes. One part, one visit.
Dmitry — dryer & vent specialist
LG dryer specialist · Orange
Don't ignore the d80, d90, d95 Flow Sense warnings — LG's airflow sensor is accurate, not a false alarm. If you clear the error and keep drying, the overheating will burn out the heating element or thermal fuse, and a simple duct cleaning turns into a much bigger repair.
I diagnose airflow on the analyzer in about 5 minutes and carry a 30-ft auger for exactly this. OEM LG thermistors and heating elements ride in the van.
Key point: if you only clean the lint filter and the code returns, the blockage is further down the run — usually the wall section or the exterior cap.
No price-list games, no surprises
You approve a fixed price before any work — then it doesn't move.
Recent LG dryer repairs in Orange
Lisa ran 3 cycles — clothes still damp. Ready to buy a new dryer.
Heating element burned out. Thermal fuse intact.
Gas dryer running cold. Owner concerned about gas leak.
Cracked igniter — no spark. Gas supply and connections safe.
Dryer stopped spinning with wet clothes inside.
Drive belt snapped. Drum rollers partially worn.
The code cleared after I unplugged the dryer — is it fixed?
A 5-minute power reset can clear a temporary control glitch. If the same code returns within a cycle or two, treat it as a real fault — the underlying issue is still there. Photograph the code and call us.
Does the Flow Sense code mean my dryer is broken?
No — it's a protective warning that airflow is restricted. Clear the duct and the code goes away. Left alone, the restricted airflow eventually overheats and burns out the heating element.
My LG code isn't in the table above
LG uses different code sets by model. Call with the code and the model number from the door-frame label and we can usually tell you the code family — and the likely repair — before the visit.
What does dryer repair actually cost?
Most dryer repairs run $120–$220 total (labor + part). The most common issues — belt, rollers, heating element — are $20–$140 for the part and $80 for labor. We quote the exact price before we start, after diagnostics.
Should I just buy a new dryer?
Depends on the machine. Here's how Dmitry looks at it:
Dryers are the most repair-friendly appliance out there. Parts are simple and cheap: belt $20, rollers $40, element $80, thermal fuse $15. They last for years — no sensitive electronics dying after three.
Real example: A Whirlpool 22 years old — replaced rollers twice at $40 each. Still runs. A Samsung 5 years old — control board failed, $400 repair. The old one was more reliable.
Exception: motor + board + element all at once on a 15+ year-old machine — we'll do the math together. If the repair exceeds $400 and the dryer is over 12 years old, sometimes a new one makes more sense.
Average repair: $150. New dryer: $700–$1,500 plus wait time. Full breakdown: repair vs. replace →
What if you can't fix it?
If we don't fix it, you don't pay. You only pay $89 for the diagnostic (service call + analyzer). More about our guarantee →
How fast can you get here?
We're based in Orange. Usually 2–3 hours from your call. 9 out of 10 dryer repairs are done same-day: belts, rollers, heating elements — we carry them in the van.
Is a dryer actually a fire risk?
Yes, if the vent is clogged. Wet lint builds up → overheating → ignition. According to NFPA, roughly 2,900 dryer fires happen in the US every year.
We clean the vent duct free with every repair. If it's been a while — call us, we'll check it. Usually $80–$150 if it's just a cleaning with no repair.
Taking too long to dry — is that a breakdown?
70% of the time — yes, it's a clogged vent or flex hose. The element heats, but humid air can't escape. We check airflow with the analyzer.
The other 30%: moisture sensor or heating element running below capacity. The analyzer shows which one in under 5 minutes.
How are you different from a handyman?
A handyman does a bit of everything. Appliance repair is its own licensed specialty in California.
We have a diagnostic analyzer for pinpoint accuracy, a van stocked with parts, and direct supplier relationships with Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and Maytag. A handyman will Google it — we see these failures every day.
How much is the diagnostic fee?
$89 — waived when you go ahead with the repair. If we don't fix it, you don't pay. You only pay the diagnostic fee if you decide not to proceed.
