Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260322-EA85C-2147322419. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG DLEX4000W (LG Dryer DLEX4000W. Previous versions of the product had a felt seal to prevent lint which was removed with this version.). Incident: LG Dryer DLEX4000W Lint Trap is ineffective at capturing lint as a result of a design flaw. It never has lint on it and my dryer duct is full of lint with normal usage and less than 1 year old dryer. This is a fire hazard. No injuries or fire occurred. Previous versions of the dryer had a felt seal to prevent lint filled air from bypassing the trap. This version removed that felt seal, likely for cost savings.
