flowsense error Lg Dryer D80, D90 & D95 Error

LG dryers will display a Flowsense error D80, D90 or D95 error message if there is a problem with the dryer vent. It is a brilliant that they do this as it helps prevent a dryer fire, but can be a pain to resolve.

I was getting a d80 code with 4 bars on the display panel sense flow icon. Ended up being a dryer sheet stuck inside the dryer at the front intake vent where the lint filter is located. I have the dryer vent cleaned professionally every two years so I didn't think that dryer vent line was the problem. In your video it was said that 99.9% of the time it is a blockage in the vent system. Sure was, a damn dryer sheet that unless I reach down inside the dryer to check I would have never found the problem! Thank You! Your video was very helpful!

[@travistw8]

It just says check filter and will not come on

These troubleshooters all stress checking the duct and outside vent, which you absolutely should do. But in my case, the clog was inside the dryer. I dug around inside the dryer vent hole and pulled out a clump of straw and dryer lint.. presumably an animal (probably a bird as I’m on second floor) had built a nest. Error code d95 is now gone.

This was helpful and prevented a call that would have cost me.

Dryer is all clean, we just moved into a New home with a roof vent and clothes wont dry. any suggestions?

[@shippermd]

Tried all the steps. No blocked vents anywhere including inside the dryer. Proper vent connections behind the dryer. We have DLEY1901KE. Pretty sure it may be the high level thermostat. Where would that be located on this machine?

This helped a lot tried and worked thank you

Quick question. I keep getting a d80 error message on my dryer. I checked all vents, air flow to the outside is good, vents are cleaned, duct from the dryer to wall is also all cleaned out. I also cleaned out the vents inside the dryer, made sure there were no eblow curves or kinks in the duct, moved it away from the wall. I ran another diagnostic test on it, it failed, saying the flow sense was blocked with another d80 message. We are using a foil duct, ( we aren't supposed to, but it's all we have at the moment) and the duct going outside runs at an elbow curve near the dryer and then it straightens out under the house. We then removed the foil duct from the back of the dryer, did another diagnostic check, and it came up with another d80 message. .....were do I go from here?

[@CPTech92]

I am curioius the verdict in your case? Did you ever solve your issue? I have a LG dryer in a house I just moved into and it has the flow sense icon continually showing, but I am convinced it's not the duct work. I have 2' flexible hose that is quite clean and making 2 45's to a straight 15' pipe up through the roof. I am in the midst of researching my issue but the only thing I keep coming across is that the vent is most likely the cause. I don't think so in my case. I just replaced the 2 dollar relay on the control board that kicks the motor on, which activates a centrifugal switch to allow 240 volt to the heater. My feeling is that a sensor could be bad, but have had no luck finding more about it.

[@chanelleum7912]

@@CPTech92 , I actually had to pay a technician to come out and service my dryer. Turns out the vent bends a certain way under my house and there was a build up stuck in the curve of the pipe, blocking air flow. He took the dryer apart and checked the inside to make sure there wasn't any lint or build up stuck to anything there. There wasn't. So, it actually was a vent issue for me 😑 even though I could feel air pulling through the vents, the sensors on the dryer are pretty sensitive, (according to the tech) and when there is a buildup, they will pick up on it. We ended up having to unscrew and take off one our vent caps and got all the lint out. We keep the cap off now and put a screen there to catch the lint. We haven't had an error message since. I hope you get the problem worked out!

[@victorliu5665]

I disconnect the flexible hose from the dryer and runed the test, the flow sensor still shows up with d 80 code, this should eliminate the duct issue, should be the issue of the dryer, right?

[@dryerventcleans]

Try turning the power off the the dryer either at the breaker or by removing the plug, leave it for 15 mins

[@dryerventcleans]

Peter B I have been saying for a long time if the vent caps they use on homes for dryers venting to the roof were part of a car there would be a recall...

[@thenub89]

Yes, that would eliminate the vent, take the front cover off and check the heating element, the sensor is on there and if it's not connected to the drum it throws the same code

[@littleeddie133]

Me too

[@matthewdixon5534]

Yeah the pipe is completely clear, and my dryer has no blockages… have taken it apart already three times. Now what is it? Do they have problems with the electrical systems shorting out?

[@bvill6749]

most likely the board

[@lowernu82]

I've had my LG dryer a week, since the second use ive had nothing but errors. I've even removed the duct hose and run the test and the errors still occur.

[@lmarks67]

Did you get this resolved? Our brand new unit is doing the same thing.

[@ua7pyro591]

If it's doing it without the duct being connected, the dryer is defective

[@FourJaysFour]

Same here. Started throwing errors almost immediately after install

[@limitlessrd8098]

It's the four wheels in the unit the new wheels have bearings the old wheels is more like a bushing they slow the drum down thus slowing the fan down etc ...

[@prettypeach70]

Did a complete air duct clean installed a 70 dollar vent hose still nothing but D90

[@RinaDasler]

So i have on my dryer right now no "flow sense" & no "vent check". When I start any drying cycle it starts right on drying & jumps into cooling in very short time. So i dont get any errors on my display what should i check in this case??

[@dryerventcleans]

RinaDasler I have seen a few LG dryers where the flowsense did not seem to work yet my airflow analyzer said there was an issue. Not sure whatvto suggest other than if there is heat and the drum is turning then the vent is the issue

[@AGOlongtimeAGO]

My LG dryer keeps on displaying D90 even i replaced the THERMISTOR and the MOISTURE sensor. Please help.

[@dryerventcleans]

Disconnect from the vent and run the diagnostic. Check the louvres outside, ideally they should be parallel to the ground. If the vents not been cleaned please do that

[@D41Pat]

@@dryerventcleans is it generally the poor ventilation in vent if im getting a d90 code?

[@dryerventcleans]

@@D41Pat the issue is always vent related. Disconnect and run the install test it will pass

[@victorgaito4473]

I just got the dryer and that flow sense came on and I watched this video and I had the dryer to close to the wall and then I pulled it away from the wall I turned the dryer back on and that flow sense is not on. Is that good or not

[@dryerventcleans]

All good that was restricting the air flow

[@victorgaito4473]

That was good now it's not drying my close. Would you have any idea what the problem. Thanks for the reply back I appreciate it

[@dryerventcleans]

Get your dryer vent cleaned ...

[@victorgaito4473]

I did all that and it still isn't drying and I no nothing about dryer's

I cleaned the vents on my LG dryer, but still getting the d80 code. Dryer is working fine. How do I reset and get rid of the code

[@dryerventcleans]

Try turning the power off for 15 mins

[@CrimsonKarl]

See my post. You need to check the complete airflow path, including all the ducting, the outside vent, and inside the dryer. My clog was in the dryer.

[@mjsedona]

I got a new ThinQ washer/dryer tower. Before installation the vents were cleaned and all the lint removed. The first time I used the dryer I got the d80 error code. The installers came out and reinstalled and put a rigid hose on the dryer. First time after reinstall, I got the d80 error code. Unplugged the dryer, ran the tests and got the error code. any other ideas?

[@dixienormus8406]

Having the same damn problem. Brand new

[@dixienormus8406]

So the wife comes to me telling me the dryer wont shut off unless I open the dryer door or pull the power. I ran the diag test got the D80 so cleaned it all out. Ran the test again no error but the drying still wont power off its a LG DLEX3370V anyone seeing this issue?

[@fandibus]

I'm having the d80 error and the dryer is not heating. It's only 2 months old and there's no lint blockages anywhere. I'm guessing a faulty sensor?

[@dryerventcleans]

Jason Muffenbier do you have flex hose behind? Could that be crushed? Sometimes after I have cleared out a dryer vent with issues the flow sense error is still there. Pulling the plug for 15 mins normally helps... otherwise there may be a blockage

[@thenub89]

Mine was doing the same, new out of box, took it apart because the repair co was going to be 3 days and the store was 3 hours away to return it, found my heating element tube not connected to the tube going to the drum

[@nataliewilson3689]

@@thenub89 mine is doing this new out of the box. i ran an entire new vent line and still does it. How hard was what you connected. Ours never has gotten hot running it at all.

[@thenub89]

@@nataliewilson3689 it wasn't super hard, about 12 screws I think and some wire connectors. Took about an hour or hour nd half.

[@AmatriceBand]

I get a d80 error even if the dryer is not connected to the duct. The internal metal duct as far as I see is not blocked.

[@JamesMooreSeattle]

Keep in mind on my LG there are two different bends inside the dryer. You can see the first one, but maybe the bend next to the fan in the front of the dryer is the problem?
