LG Tumble Dryers Resale Value

LG tumble dryers: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across LG

• OLED televisions in working order, which are the panels the brand is known for and cost a great deal new
• Larger screen sizes, which are consistently harder to find used and hold value better
• Washing machines and fridges under five years old with a service history
• Soundbars with their subwoofer and remote, which are model-paired and useless apart

What pulls LG resale value down

• Screen burn-in on OLED panels, which shows as ghosting from static logos and menus and is permanent
• Panel faults on any television — banding, dead pixels, uneven backlight — which are not economically repairable
• Appliances with worn drum bearings, audible on the spin and rarely worth fixing
• Missing remotes and subwoofers, which are specific to the model and awkward to replace

Identifying and dating yours

1. The model and serial are on a label on the back or inside the door — photograph it, since specifications change yearly
2. Display a plain bright image and a plain dark one and photograph both, because that is how burn-in, banding and backlight faults actually show
3. Say whether the remote, stand and any paired subwoofer are included

What lifts any tumble dryer, whatever the label

Dryer values split sharply by type: heat pump models sell well above vented and condenser ones because of what they cost to run.

• Heat pump models, which are far cheaper to run
• Recent purchase with proof of age
• Clean condenser and lint filters with no blockage
• Original hoses, vent kit and feet

And what pulls one down

• Vented models, which are the least wanted type
• A drum that squeals or thumps, usually a bearing or belt
• Blocked condenser units that no longer dry properly
• Missing vent hose on vented machines

Working out what yours is worth

1. Identify the type from the model plate: vented, condenser or heat pump
2. Run a full cycle and check clothes actually come out dry
3. Pull out and inspect the condenser and lint filters

What to state in the listing

• Type: vented, condenser or heat pump
• Capacity in kilograms and the energy rating
• Brand, model number and approximate age
• Whether it is freestanding or integrated, and whether a vent hose is included

Type, capacity and brand: “Bosch 8kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer, A++”. Heat pump belongs in the title because it is what running costs turn on. Capacity in kilograms and the energy rating both matter to buyers doing the sums.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Identify the type: vented, condenser or heat pump. This is the single biggest factor in what a buyer will pay.
2. Run a full cycle and confirm it heats, tumbles and finishes, and check the drum for damage.
3. Clean the lint filter and, on a condenser or heat pump, the condenser unit itself — a blocked one looks like neglect.

1. The whole machine, front, in place
2. The drum interior, clean and lit
3. The lint filter and condenser, clean
4. The model and energy rating label, plus the display mid-cycle

When it sells best, and handing it over

Sells fastest in autumn and winter when drying outdoors stops being practical, and it is often a distress purchase, so working machines move quickly.

Collection only — heavy, awkward and uneconomic to post. Say which floor it is on and whether you can help carry it.

What buyers ask

How do I check an OLED television for burn-in?

Display a plain grey or white full-screen image and look for ghosting where a channel logo or menu bar used to sit. It is permanent, so photograph what you see.

Is a used washing machine worth it?

If it is recent and the history is known. Run a full spin and listen for rumbling — worn drum bearings are the common fault and rarely worth repairing.

How much is an LG tumble dryer worth?

Roughly £74 to £294 depending on condition, against £70 to £280 for tumble dryers generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £184 for an LG tumble dryer, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
