Read the display exactly
Recorded display variants in this source group: drn, OE. Keep capitalization, spaces, and any slash or suffix in your notes. These are documented variants within this group, not proof that every version appears on every model.
Product scope: ventless heat pump. When it appears: Consult the owner manual for the display context and control-panel generation.
Additional caution: Not the same explanation as LG washer OE. Confirm the dryer has a condensate circuit.
Safe checks before service
- On a ventless or heat-pump model only, check the user-accessible condensate container and drainage hose.
- Inspect for visible kinks and empty the tank following its owner manual.
- If drainage still fails, contact an authorized technician; do not disassemble the unit.
Do only user-facing checks allowed by your owner manual. Do not bypass locks, open electrical compartments, work on gas lines, or cut into the refrigerant system.
When to stop checking
If the code remains after safe external checks, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. If a hazard is present, stop use first. Keep the displayed code and context available for support.
