I'm using a samsung washer dryer combo.

If I have extra money, I'll get a separate unit. Not sure if its just mine, but the drying process took a while about 2-3 hours. So during that time, I cant use it to wash another round of clothes.

To cut down the time, i wash all the clothes and hang dry the big clothes and only dry my kids clothes.

I dont have exp with LG, but I'm pretty much satisfied with what I'm using now.

I dont have that issue because I'll always wait for the the drying process to finish and by the time, can always open the door.

But i'd say its very inconvenient to stop a drying cycle even when it just started less than a minute. The door will be locked and have to wait for quite some time. So I'll always double check that I have put every single piece that needs drying before I start.

Also, do u notice that the drying efficiency will be less over time? Its because of the vent is blocked by lint. Quite an easy process to diy and clean the fan and vent.

It's never mentioned in the guide coz u need to open the machine.

1. Open 2 screws at the back for the top cover. Push the top cover back and lift it to open.
2. Unscrew all the screws surrounding the blower unit. There are couple of slightly longer screw, so u need to make sure u know where it should go back later.
3. Open the top cover for the blower and inside u'll see the filter. Usually after 4-6 months it'll be covered with lint.

Kinda hard to explain here. When I'm free later I can make a video.

If u notice your clothes are still not conpleteley dry after u use the cupboard dry mode, then you'll need to service this filter.

Anyway yours is a newer model. Bought mine two years ago.
