The product, in the report: Natural gas clothes dryer
On 6/14/23 we had a local appliance technician inspect a 3-year old LG DLG3501W clothes dryer that had stopped drying clothes. Upon opening the dryer he noticed two things. 1 - The back of the machine had a sticker from the vendor stating it had been converted to use LPG. 2 - The orifice on the gas valve assembly was stamped for LPG use. We bought the unit as natural gas and the invoice confirms this. We emailed LG and they said to stop using the machine immediately due to fire, natural gas leaks, and carbon monoxide poisioning. The technician was able to rectify the problem. He was also able to produce a bill for $495.00. This was a life threatening situation. Aren’t there any safeguards in place like checklists and inspections? We have contacted the local outlet that converted and sold the unit, but have not heard back. We would like to have the safety concerns reported by LG email confirmed. Email from LG is attached.
UPDATED ON 7/18/2023: [This matter has been resolved. It turned out to be a matter of an appliance being misconfigured by the vendor before installation.]
