Will it fit?
Measure your space before you buy — this is the first question, before price or running cost.
We don't have published fit dimensions for this exact model yet. Measure your space and doorway path before buying — width, depth with the door open, and the path from the door to the install spot. Check the manufacturer's own spec sheet for exact numbers.
Our verdict
This is a 7.8 cu ft heat-pump electric clothes dryer from LG. It costs about $48 a year to run — less than about 9 in 10 clothes dryers we track. Heat-pump dryers like this one usually cost more to buy than a standard vented dryer, but less to run every year — see the payback math below before deciding if it's worth the extra up-front cost.

Cost-to-run payback — the one category where it changes the buy decision
A typical heat-pump dryer in the dryers we track costs about $74/yr less to run than a typical vented electric dryer. Heat-pump dryers usually cost $400–$800 more to buy, so the payback math looks like this:
Break-even years = (price of the heat-pump dryer − price of the vented dryer) ÷ (vented $/yr − heat-pump $/yr)
We don't have confirmed purchase prices for enough models in this category to fill in real numbers here — plug in the prices you're actually quoted. At the dollar-per-year gap above, a $400–$800 price premium typically works out to roughly 4–11 years to break even.

Recalls
We don't make per-model recall claims — the CPSC's own recall records are almost never tagged with a specific model number, only a brand and product type. Search the federal recall database yourself for LG dryers before you buy or if something seems wrong with yours.
Search CPSC recalls →Documented litigation
We haven't found documented litigation for LG dryers in our research. That doesn't mean none exists — it means we haven't verified any yet.

Your repair rights — depends on your state
Several states now give you a legal right to request parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer to repair your own major appliance — but this is not a national right yet, and it's enforced by the state attorney general, not something you can sue over yourself.
- California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota — in force now (CA since 7/1/2024, CO since 1/1/2026, OR since 2025, MN since 7/1/2024).
- Connecticut — takes effect 7/1/2026.
- New York and Texas — appliances are explicitly excluded from those states' repair laws. A blanket "you have the right to repair" claim would be false there.
- Everywhere else — no appliance-specific repair-rights law found as of this writing.

Where can I buy the LG DLHC3602*?
See the price and buy section above — we show a real, dated price only when we have a UPC-verified retailer match; otherwise we link a direct model-number search rather than guess.
Sources. Efficiency and capacity ratings from DOE certification (CCMS) and ENERGY STAR certification data. Annual running cost is computed by Verified Appliance Data from published ratings and EIA energy prices — see our methodology. Dimensions, plug/electrical, warranty, manual links and price (where shown) come from manufacturer spec sheets, manuals, and — for price only — a UPC-verified Amazon match; every enrichment fact carries its own source and retrieval date. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
