Removing the Side Panels from the LG Tromm

The LG Tromm is a dryer that has several functions, including different drying programs and an electronic control panel. Some problems that occur with the dryer can be resolved by pressing “Start/Pause” twice then selecting a new cycle, followed by “Start” again. However, some issues with the dryer may be with some of the internal components, and the LG dryer must be disassembled, including the top and side panels, to access these components.
