LG’s guide to finding the model and serial numberChecking the manufacture date
Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.
How long does a LG dryer last?
Dryers typically last 10 to 13 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Clean the lint screen every load and the vent duct every year: lint build-up is a leading cause of dryer fires.
