So, my LG Dryer, Model# DLE3733W isn't drying the clothes fully. When the run stops, some of the clothes are "damp" and I have to hang dry them for the rest of the cycle. Now, when I open the door mid-cycle, it seems like it's heating up. I have cleaned all the filters and the lint trap. Any advice? Thank you!

Hi, Does it also do this on TIMED DRY?

If so, it still sounds like a possible vent restriction either in the vent exhaust hose in the back of the dryer or outside where the vent duct vents outside.

I always pull the dryer out from the wall, then check that vent exhaust hose for lint clogs, and go outside the house and do the same where it vents outside. Make sure the air flow coming out the outside vent and good and strong.

Good morning Jake. So, it does it both ways. I checked the flow outside last night and it seemed pretty strong. The flap door was staying open. As far as the hose, it looks pretty good , BUT there is a rounded bend in it before goes out side. I appreciate the advice.

Here's your service manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pb3l_hkHiMygecmSUAGXgKJwimhEFSfn/view?usp=share_link TEST 4 moisture sensor test Page 26

I usually advise people to use rubbing alcohol on a cloth to clean the moisture sensor bar first. If that doesn't fix it you can do that TEST 4.

Here's the moisture sensor bar for your model:
Moisture Sensor 6500EL3001A


You can also run the Diagnostics TEST on page 20.
