The product, in the report: LG Steam Dryer gas, clothes dryer Model DLGX0002TM
The clothes dryer had been in operation for approximately 10 minute, when it caught fire. There were no visible flames. The consumer noticed a burning odor, but was not sure exactly which part presented the problem .
He called his father, who advised him to remove the faceplate, which he did. He found that there had been an actual fire inside of the dryer. It melted some of the wiring, damaged the pilot and some other parts.
The consumer called an electrician to come examine the machine. The tech. said he had never seen anything like this, but he also could not work on it, because the consumer had dismantled the machine. The service company’s technician on the phone, told the consumer that he thought this might have resulted from lint build-up. However, this technician, had not physically been out to view the machine.
The dryer was in the home, when the consumer moved in, but he believes that it may have been purchased in 2009/2010.
NOTE: It has a stamp on it, which indicated that it was converted to LP gas, 1/28/2010, by Dunnett Inc.
The consumer called the manufacturer and reported the incident. He was initially told that a technician would contact him in within 5- 7 days. He never heard from them, so he followed up with them several times. In the end, the manufacturer’s representatives told him that since he modified the machine, they would not work on it.
The dryer is dismantled and being stored in the consumer’s garage.
This could have led to a house fire.
