For all the folks saying to clean the dryer, clearly you never fucked with the LG dryers. They do this shit straight off bat.
If you don't understand timed drys vs auto drys, which half the settings are, sure, you have problems. Most of the LG settings(I have one of their "smart" dryers and washers) are all auto timed. Placing small loads often won't trip the sensor because there's little moist material to activate it. Running large loads with the filter clogged will end up having it detect more of the dry lint than the wet center of your blanket. Empty the filter and restart it and you'll be amazed to see it'll auto run for another 30 minutes and your clothes come out fine. Or switch to the actually timed dries and it will run the whole time NO MATTER WHAT.
If it's shutting off that fast, it's user error.
There’s also the more dry or less dry options for the sensor-based cycles.
Why is that even a thing? It's a dryer. I want it dry. It's not called a damper.
Why do you hate the planet bro???
I don't hate the planet. I hate my future grandchildren. I have to make sure they suffer.
ComEd: burns millions of tons of fossil fuels every year to sell us electricity.
BP: woopsies millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Every shipping company: burns millions of barrels of bunker fuel transporting shit from one place to another place that could have just made the stuff right there.
Every EcoWarrior on the internet: run your drier until your clothes are only damp, trench crotch is a sacrifice for the planet. Balance the lawn chairs you bought at home depot on your bicycle, man, no one needs a car cause they’re bad for the environment.
I understand you’re joking, but the amount of people who still don’t understand the sheer scale of modern pollution is staggering. What any private individual does, unless they start forest fires as a hobby, is a drop in the bucket compared to what mega corporations do on a daily basis.
I get your point but who do you think those corporations are burning fossil fuels for?
Who do you think is subsidizing all of the oil and gas industries that produce the artificially cheap fossil fuels that we burn for energy?
Even if we were all to reduce how much we use, these corporations will still use fossil fuels because large governments are the ones subsidizing it as an energy source. That will buy us a few more years, yeah. But throwing a water bottle at a forest fire isn’t a solution.
Until governments start actually requiring green energy, and subsidize its production to the same extent they do for fossil fuels, we’ll never see any change. The only thing your average person can do is vote for someone who at least says they’ll do that. Reducing your individual carbon footprint is just corporate propaganda to shift blame from their industries and political
briberylobbying to the consumer.We need to actually implement solutions, and no one is going to do that unless governments step up and fork over the laws and cash needed to do that. Letting companies buy “carbon credits” and all of this shit we’re doing to make ourselves feel better is just song and dance.
I agree that major actions can and should be taken but the argument that it’s all corporations polluting in isolation drives me crazy. Corporations pollute because of people. We are, in effect, the corporations here.

So well written I heard it in my head.
My LG is a champ and only shuts off early on tiny loads.
Mine works fine, the annoying bit is that every setting defaults to one notch below where I'd consider it acceptably dry
I have an LG dryer as well and this was the case for me until I realised I could turn off the default "energy saver" mode.
Thank fuck I'm not the only one then, we have had to run ours on high heat all the time, and even twice
Nope, not at all. Come to think of it, I had a brand new LG smart dryer at an old apartment a few years ago, then moved in a house with a roommate who happened to buy the same smart dryer brand new for the house, and both were the exact same experience. I’m not even old enough to say this but they just don’t make em like they used to…
The dryer Bob's angry at is a Bosch.
