This one is LG’s, and it appears on the dryer that LG built and Sears sold under the Kenmore badge. Whirlpool, LG and Frigidaire all built dryers for this badge, and all three publish short two-character codes, so a lookup that skips the prefix is a coin toss dressed as an answer. ### What it means LG's own label is DUCT BLOCK ERROR, and the number is roughly how blocked it is. LG's manual prints these as `d8O`, `dGO`, `dGs` and `d7s` because of how a seven-segment display draws the digits — no LG document prints them with plain numerals. ### Which Kenmore models can raise it The Kenmore dryer whose model number begins 796 — the three digits before the period on the rating plate. Those digits are LG’s, which is why LG’s table is the one that applies to d80 and no other manufacturer’s does. ### The other ways it may be written The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of the appliance and because a segment display draws some characters oddly: **d90, d95, d75, d8O, dGO, dGs, d7s**. They are the same finding and they lead to the same place. ### Worth trying yourself, in this order - Clean the lint screen, then check the duct end to end. - This is the most useful code on a dryer in South Florida, because long flat runs here block far sooner than the maker assumes. - It is a duct cleaning, not a part. ### Where this usually goes The job this most often becomes is [dryer vent cleaning](/services/dryer-vent-cleaning/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. A Kenmore dryer in South Florida is almost always on a long horizontal duct carrying humid air, and that duct is behind more heat and airflow codes here than any component inside the machine. Photograph the display before you cut the power: a reset clears d80, and on a Kenmore the characters plus three digits off the plate are most of the diagnosis. ### Where this meaning came from LG’s own documentation: *LG Owner's Manual — WashTower WKEX200H*A / WKGX201H*A, P/No. MFL71485405*. Kenmore publishes none of its own, which is why every entry on this site names the manufacturer’s document instead.
