Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Type — WashTower DRYER section (stacked, shared panel)
- This is the DRYER half of the LG WashTower — an electric vented dryer stacked above the washer, sharing ONE center control panel with it. A control/power fault can affect both halves, and a centrally shown code may belong to the washer or the dryer, so identify the dryer section first.
- Fuel — ELECTRIC (vented)
- ELECTRIC vented on 240V. No heat with the drum turning is often a half-tripped double breaker; reset both halves. It has an exhaust vent that must be kept clear.
- Venting & features
- Clogged lint screen or blocked duct is the top cause of long drying. Sensor Dry and ThinQ Wi-Fi; the dryer's lint filter is easy-reach on the WashTower's center panel design.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the LG WashTower WKEX200H dryer section
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
The dryer on my LG WashTower isn't heating but the washer works.+
The WashTower's washer and dryer are independent machines sharing one panel, so the dryer can fail while the washer is fine. Treat the dryer on its own: reset the 240V double breaker (a half-trip leaves the drum turning with no heat), and clean the lint filter and exhaust vent. If a code shows on the shared display, check whether it is a dryer or washer code. The washer below is unaffected by the dryer's heat problem.
