LG DLGX3002P SteamDryer, Front-Loading Electric Dryer, 7.4 Cubic Feet

By using steam, this front-loading dryerís TrueSteam technology claims to get rid of wrinkles and odors on clothes. With its 9 drying programs including SteamFresh and SteamSanitary, choosing a setting that will suit different fabrics is easy. A sensor called the FlowSense Indicator monitors lint buildup and airflow blockage.

Interior Features

For regular loads, choose a drying program that will meet the fabricís needs. A Normal setting will generally dry everyday clothes like cotton shirts, and for denim jackets and jeans, the Heavy Duty setting will do. Undergarments can be dried using the Delicates or Ultra Delicates settings, while non-tumble dry items like shoes and stuffed animals can use the Rack Dry option. For laundry that needs freshening up, the SteamFresh program will be useful, and the SteamSanitary program is for cleaning and deodorizing items that are not machine-washable.

The dryerís FlowSense Indicator checks lint buildup on ducts and filters as each cycle starts, while the Sensor Dry System prevents half-dry laundry by adjusting the temperature and drying time as needed.

The Ultra Capacity NeveRust Stainless Steel drum has room for more clothes for lesser loads. A drying rack is installed inside the 7.4 cubic feet drum.

Exterior Features

The electronic control panel consists of the Dial-A-Cycle knob and one-push buttons. The option buttons include the Child Lock setting, End of Cycle and Damp Dry switch. Equipped with a tri-lingual LCD display, the upfront navigation panel also shows the program settings and remaining time of a cycle.

Choose whichever way the door opens with the fully reversible hinge. The door is made of clear, tempered glass and then framed with chrome to add substance. This large, circular door sits right below the electronic control panel for ease of use.

Aside from the unitís four leveling legs, a drawer pedestal can be used to elevate the dryer. To save more space, stack the dryer unit on top of a matching washer with the optional stacking kit. Both the stacking kit and pedestal are sold separately.
