Customer Questions and Answers for Condenser Assembly (Dryer Heat Exchanger) by Lg

The condenser assembly is the dryer's heat exchanger used in ventless/condensing models. It cools moist air so water can be removed, restoring efficient drying when the original is clogged, damaged, or leaking. What it does:

• Acts as the heat exchanger that condenses moisture from the circulating air during the drying cycle
• Maintains proper airflow and heat transfer through the dryer's condensing system
• Replacement may help resolve long dry times, clothes remaining damp, water pooling/leaks, or visible fin damage and heavy lint blockage

• One condenser assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Access the condenser compartment (commonly behind the lower front service panel); note seal orientation and part routing
• Handle the new core carefully to avoid bending fins; seat fully in channels/gaskets
• Clear lint/debris from the cavity and ducts; run a short test cycle to verify airflow and check for leaks
