LG Dryer gAS / 9A5 error code

Difficulty: Medium · Cost: $0–$200 · Duration: 5–10m

The gAS or 9A5 code on your LG gas dryer means the dryer is not receiving gas. Note that 9A5 is not a numeric code — it is the word "GAS" displayed upside down on the LED display. Make sure the gas supply valve is fully open and the gas line is not kinked. If the gas line is properly connected and the valve is open the unit will require a repair service.

Common causes

  • Gas supply valve is turned off or not fully open
  • Gas supply line is kinked, bent, or not properly connected to the dryer
  • Gas supply to the home has been interrupted
  • Gas line is damaged preventing proper gas flow to the dryer

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Safety first: if you ever smell gas, do not start the appliance — close the gas shut-off valve, ventilate the room, and call a licensed gas professional before doing anything else

  2. 2

    Locate the gas supply valve behind or beside the dryer and make sure it is fully open

  3. 3

    Check the gas supply line for any kinks, bends, or loose connections and straighten or resecure as needed

  4. 4

    If the dryer was recently installed and opening the valve does not help contact the installer to inspect the gas line connection

  5. 5

    If the gas line appears damaged do not attempt to repair it yourself — contact a licensed gas technician immediately

  6. 6

    If the dryer is not new, the valve is fully open, and the line is connected correctly contact a qualified technician for a professional repair
