IF on a WashTower

The dryer unit of an LG WashTower shows IF whenever it fails to detect the lint filter.

Checks to make

  • Pull the lint filter and examine its two parts, making sure both are seated.
  • Confirm the magnet is seated too.

Run the dryer again once these are in order. A lingering IF, despite a filter that looks right, calls for service.

  • F0 is the flashing INSERT FILTER message seen on other LG dryers.
  • HS is about the humidity sensor.
  • LE1 is about a WashTower dryer drum that does not turn.
