Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the water container comes on, the reservoir is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
Problem not solved?
It might help to remove the connector. Place it back after 30 minutes and restart the dyer cycle. If your LG dryer still displays an error code, you need extra help.
