    In 2023, my new LG dryer shit the bed after three months.

    They sent a technician twice to replace the lint filter, and sent a third lint filter via mail when the error started again.

    Apparently the lint filter sensor is dependant on a tiny magnet which can come loose if the plastic housing is so much as tapped wrong.

    How many people do you think open up their lint filters over a bin and tap the lint out?

    Fucking moronic design.

    We never found out if it was a sensor fault, we were lucky enough to get a store credit and traded that fucker in. LG never again.
