Questions people ask about Constant Light

What does Constant Light mean on a LG dryer?
The Constant Light indicator on an LG dryer signals an internal failure of the ignition control module. This module manages the ignition sequence in gas dryers, and when it fails internally, no external component repair will resolve the issue. The dryer should be reset first, and if the light persists, the ignition control module must be replaced.
How do I fix the Constant Light error on my LG dryer?
Start by performing a full reset: unplug the dryer from the power outlet, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. If the Constant Light condition persists after the reset, the ignition control module requires replacement. This is not a repair that can be performed by adjusting settings or cleaning components, as the fault is internal to the module itself.
How much does it cost to repair the Constant Light error on an LG dryer?
Repair costs depend on parts and labor rates in your area. An ignition control module replacement typically falls in the range of $100 to $300 when combining the cost of the part and professional labor. If the dryer is still under warranty, the repair may be covered, so checking warranty status before scheduling a service call is advisable.
Will resetting my LG dryer clear the Constant Light condition?
A reset is the recommended first step and may clear the condition if it was caused by a temporary electrical glitch rather than a true hardware failure. Unplug the dryer for several minutes, then restore power and observe whether the light returns. If the Constant Light condition comes back after the reset, the ignition control module has failed internally and will need to be replaced.
Is it safe to use my LG dryer when the Constant Light indicator is on?
It is not recommended to operate a gas dryer when the ignition control module has failed. A failed ignition control module can cause unpredictable behavior in the gas valve and igniter sequence, which presents a combustion safety risk. The dryer should remain out of service until the module has been successfully reset or replaced.
