Additionally, this model is equipped with smart features that enable Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing homeowners to control and monitor the drying process remotely via the LG ThinQ app. This adds an extra layer of convenience, making it possible to manage laundry from anywhere. The DLG8401WE also features a FlowSense duct clogging indicator that warns you when it's time to clean the ducts, ensuring the dryer operates at maximum efficiency.
