LG DLEX4000 electric dryer leaves clothes wrinkled or tangled

The checks in more detail

Start with the load. Fill the drum no more than about half full for wrinkle-prone fabrics, so clothes tumble freely, and do not mix heavy items such as towels and jeans with delicate shirts; the sensor then ends the cycle on the heavy items and leaves the light ones over-dried and creased. Shake out each item before it goes in, which unfolds the creases that would otherwise set.

Use the correct cycle: a normal or perm press cycle for shirts, a delicate cycle at lower heat for fine fabrics, and sensor drying rather than a timed cycle that may over-dry. Then use the steam. The SteamFresh cycle adds steam to relax wrinkles in clothes that have already dried, and it is designed for exactly this problem; run it for a few minutes on a small load of dry clothes, or add the wrinkle-care option to your normal cycle.

Most importantly, take clothes out as soon as the cycle ends, and fold or hang them while they are still slightly warm. If clothes are damp and wrinkled at the end of the cycle, the problem is airflow: clean the lint screen and check the vent, since a restricted vent leaves clothes hot, damp and creased. If heat seems weak, reset the 240 volt double breaker, and if the dryer will not remove wrinkles even with a half load and steam, quote DLEX4000W and the serial number when you contact LG.
