LG Error Code d95
95% exhaust restriction
Common Causes
- 1Near-total vent blockage
A 95% blockage is a critical fire safety condition. Do not attempt to use the dryer for even a single cycle. Professional vent service is required.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Do not operate the dryer — at 95% restriction the exhaust temperature can exceed safe limits and risk igniting trapped lint
- 2
Call a professional dryer vent cleaning service — the blockage is likely deep in the wall cavity or at a joint/elbow inaccessible to consumer brush kits
- 3
Have the technician inspect for animals nesting, collapsed duct sections, or disconnected joints inside the wall
- 4
Consider rerouting the vent if the current path exceeds 25 feet or has more than 2 elbows — long or convoluted runs are prone to recurring blockages
- 5
After professional cleaning, test with a flow gauge or anemometer — exhaust velocity should be at least 600 feet per minute at the dryer outlet
Pro Diagnostic Tip
If d95 appears on a newly installed dryer, the duct may have been crushed when pushing the dryer into position. Pull the dryer out and verify the transition duct behind the machine is not kinked or compressed flat.
