LG Dryer Wrinkle Care error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 3h

Wrinkle Care is not an error code. It appears at the end of a drying cycle when the Wrinkle Care option has been selected or activated. The dryer drum continues to tumble intermittently to prevent clothes from sitting still and developing wrinkles. The drum rotates for 10 seconds then rests for 6 minutes, repeating this pattern for up to 3 hours. Opening the door at any point during Wrinkle Care will turn the feature off automatically.

Common causes

  • Wrinkle Care option was selected before the cycle started
  • Drying cycle has completed and Wrinkle Care is keeping clothes fresh until they are removed

How to fix it

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Open the door and remove your clothes to stop Wrinkle Care immediately

  3. 3

    If you cannot remove the clothes right away simply leave the dryer running — it will stop automatically after up to 3 hours
