# LG dryer showing GAS

The display is spelling GAS, which can look like 9A5: the dryer is not receiving a proper gas supply.

## What GAS actually means.

The display is spelling GAS, which can look like 9A5: the dryer is not receiving a proper gas supply.

LG dryer display · also shown as 9A5

What to do when GAS shows on the dryer

### Kind of code Heating

The dryer expected heat and did not get it, or got it too slowly. On an electric model the element and its wiring; on a gas model the igniter, the flame sensor and the valve coils. A blocked vent is ruled out first.

### Usually leads to Heating element repair

No heat or weak heat on an electric dryer, traced to the coil, its terminals or the safety parts on its housing.

### Shows up as Dryer Not Heating

The drum turns and the cycle runs, but the air stays cool and the clothes come out damp.

### Make LG

Full-size and stacked dryers in electric and gas versions, heavily electronic and quick to show an error code.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from LG's own guidance for GAS on its dryers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Make sure the gas shutoff valve for the dryer is fully open.

02

Check that the flexible gas line is connected and not kinked or bent.

03

On a new install with the valve open, contact the installer; on an older dryer, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [heating element repair](https://dryerrepair.center/services/heating-element-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

GAS is a supply message, not a leak alarm. If you ever smell gas, do not use the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.

## What you may notice with it.

The dryer problem GAS tends to arrive with. Answer these at the dryer before anyone is booked.

## Questions about GAS.

### Can I clear GAS myself?

Make sure the gas shutoff valve for the dryer is fully open. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my LG dryer show 9A5 instead of GAS?

The segment display draws the letters G, A and S in a way that reads like 9A5. LG treats both readings as the same gas supply message.

### Can a new LG gas dryer show GAS right after installation?

Yes, and LG's advice then is to check the valve first and go back to the installer if the line looks damaged or the valve is already open. Book a visit if the installation checks out.
