LG Dryer · Code nP / NP

LG Dryer nP code: No power to heater

The electric dryer is not getting power to its heating element, so it tumbles but will not heat. It is usually a household power or wiring issue.

Most common causes

  1. One side of the 240V dryer breaker tripped
  2. Loose or failing dryer outlet or power cord
  3. Wiring problem at the dryer terminal block
  4. Open heater circuit inside the dryer

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Turn the dryer breaker fully off, wait about 10 seconds and turn it back on
  2. Make sure the plug is fully seated in the outlet
  3. Confirm the dryer is on its own 240V circuit

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
