LG Dryer d95 error code
The d95 code means your LG dryer detected that the exhaust airflow is approximately 95% blocked — this is a critical warning. At this level the dryer is almost completely unable to expel hot air and the risk of overheating and fire is serious. Stop using the dryer immediately until the blockage is fully cleared. This level of restriction almost always means there is significant lint buildup inside the wall ducts that requires a professional duct cleaner — cleaning the lint trap and exhaust hose alone will not be sufficient.
Common causes
- Critical lint buildup inside the wall ducts almost completely blocking airflow
- Exhaust hose is severely crushed, kinked, or completely coiled
- Outside exhaust vent flappers are completely blocked and sealed with lint
- Combination of multiple blockages throughout the entire vent system
How to fix it
-
1
Stop using the dryer immediately — do not run any cycles until the blockage is cleared
-
2
Remove and clean the lint trap thoroughly
-
3
Check the exhaust hose behind the dryer and replace it if it is severely damaged or crushed
-
4
Inspect the outside exhaust vent and clear any visible blockages
-
5
Contact a professional dryer duct cleaner immediately — at d95 the wall ducts almost certainly need professional cleaning
-
6
Ask the duct cleaner for the total vent length and number of 90 degree bends to determine if duct modifications are needed
-
7
Do not resume using the dryer until the d95 code has cleared completely
