F05Warning
LG Dryer F05 Error Code
The dryer senses excessive exhaust restriction, likely due to a clogged vent or lint buildup.
Common causes
- Lint filter not cleaned
- Vent hose kinked or crushed
- Long or blocked exterior vent
How to fix it
- Clean the lint filter thoroughly.
- Inspect the vent hose for kinks, crushing, or lint accumulation; straighten or replace as needed.
- Disconnect the vent from the dryer and run a cycle; if error clears, the vent is blocked and needs cleaning.
⚠ When to call a pro: Call a technician if you cannot access the vent runs or the error persists after cleaning.
