r/appliancerepair on Reddit: Lg washer/dryer all in one (wm3488hw) combo not drying clothes
October 17, 2023 -
My lg washer/dryer I own is not drying my clothes. I replaced the drain pump because it was not draining and cleaned filter but still not drying. I opened the machine and cleaned inside the machine and removed all lint. I also tested the heating element and it seems to be heating up but clothes still are wet. Any advice on what other areas I can clean or test to get the machine to dry properly.

I learned that the machine will not throw an error code for the cold water intake valve, which needs to properly function to dry clothes. I did verify the fan and heater were working (can hear the fan, and the heater gets...well... hot :)). I cleaned the machine front to back, verified all hoses were not obstructed (the two leading up to the rubber skirt were plugged w/lint). Still failed. Finally, it was either using a cheap $15 Cold Water valve or the master board. I replaced the $15 Amazon cold water valve with an actual OEM cold water valve at $110 and for the first time in 5 weeks I have a functioning dryer. That machine will keep you busy, that's for sure!!!

I had the same issue after a short while with my LG all in one unit. I finally figured out that if you take out the lint trap and spray it with dishwasher liquid and using your fingers to rub it in. Rinse it out with water and my unit is drying like a champ. The fabric softener eventually clogs up the screen and this does not allow the proper air flow for drying..

November 11, 2024 - Refer to your Owner's Manual for more information on cleaning the drain pump and filter. The dryer has a capacity of about half of that of the washer. Therefore, if you are washing too much clothing, it may be necessary to reduce the load size by half to ensure that the load is dry. Most LG combo units will add a spin before the drying process will begin. However, if the load did not spin out well or you attempted to do a DRY ONLY cycle and the results were not as good as expected, run a SPIN CYCLE before starting the drying process.
