Auto Cleaning Condenser is a model-specific feature
LG lists an Auto Cleaning Condenser on RHX1009NMK, while the FDT208S specifications say that feature is not fitted. That distinction matters when choosing maintenance instructions. It does not mean an equipped machine is maintenance-free: lint-filter care remains a separate task. Use only the routine care described for your own dryer, and do not dismantle the condenser area or apply another model's washing or flushing instructions.
Sensor Dry and a fixed-time programme answer different questions
On the RHX1009NMK, LG describes Sensor Dry as adjusting drying time from detected moisture, specifically on Sensor Dry programmes. For a drying complaint, record the actual programme and target dryness rather than only its initial timer estimate. Tell us whether the machine stopped with all items damp, left only thick seams wet, or continued much longer than its usual behaviour. These observations help frame an assessment without proving a sensor or heat-pump failure.
Separate airflow, collected water and drum movement
Include any filter or water-container indicator exactly as displayed, and say whether the dryer uses its tank or an existing drain connection. Report the drum stopping or a scraping noise separately from a damp-load result. If the dryer smells burnt or overheats, leave it unused. Do not remove a stacked appliance to photograph the rear label; provide accessible paperwork and explain the stacking and access arrangements instead.

Safe checks and deciding your next step
For checks that do not involve dismantling the appliance, read the tumble dryer safety guidance. If you are weighing up a repair and a replacement, see what affects that decision. Your exact model handbook takes precedence over general guidance.

LG tumble dryer repair questions
Does every LG heat-pump dryer clean its own condenser?
No. The current UK specifications distinguish models with and without Auto Cleaning Condenser. Check the full model before following maintenance advice; the presence of that feature does not remove the need for the specified lint-filter care.
Does a changing drying time mean the control board is faulty?
Not by itself. A moisture-sensing programme can vary its timing. What matters for the enquiry is a persistent unexpected result, the selected programme and any warning, not a parts diagnosis based solely on the countdown.
What details help with a LG tumble dryer repair enquiry?
Identify heat-pump, condenser or vented type from the model information. Describe long drying, an early stop, no drum movement or a warning. Follow only accessible filter and tank maintenance in the exact-model manual; do not open the heat-pump circuit.
