Awesome video man!!! Now I just need to find the time to do it !!! Lol

Well you are my hero and savior. My wife is now happy and drying. We just came up from Fiona a weak hurracaine but with a lot of water although its weakness we have been without electricity and water since last Saturday night, a week and a day running like crazy, gas lines, noisy old generator died, get a new one!!! There were none. Finally I got one made in Planet X. The thing is that there were floods and that have all servicemen terribly occupy repairing flooded washers and dryers and if you have a problem with your generator you are doomed. So today my wife start washing clothes like crazy and suddenly like a thunder in the night "Javier, the dryer is not drying". Aha!!!! I just knew if it can't be solved I'll be hanging cloth in the patio, but where? I have a tree down in the middle of the patio that needs to be chopped. I remember You Tube and the saints that illuminates from a far lost souls in despair. I saw one solving the problem with resetting the thermostats, good. But I keep checking and then I find your show great one! I just follow your steps and clean the machine like new, reset the button, screw it up and she's drying like new. You are my hero! Many blessings! Nobody knows to whom you are going to help but this generosity of yours, to take time and take us by the hand and fix a problem truly will get you to straight heavens.

Great video. Seems like the lint trap isn’t too effective at catching lint. Can you say designed to fail. I have a 6 month old LG dryer with the dreaded 9A5 code.

[@gailbottine6552]

Does the dryer Lg dlex2501w have this hole in back or side

[@AlFixit]

@@gailbottine6552 generally on the right side low and toward the back

[@gailbottine6552]

@ found it thanks now to try to get off screwdriver hoping it will do job

[@mysticmommy5187]

Our reset button doesn’t seem to push in or up at all. It just turns on the end of its little post. We have an electric version of this dryer. The DLG5966G. It was recently moved from home to home, quite a distance, if that sheds any light. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

[@AlFixit]

Well if it is like mine, you cannot tell by pushing on it if you have reset it or not because it does not have a big click sound or stay in. Problem may be somewhere else and will need more testing tho.

[@mysticmommy5187]

So how do you know when you’ve reset it? Just if it starts to heat? And what are the steps to do it - to push the little button?

[@AlFixit]

@Mystic Mommy video shows how to get to it, then push and see if dryer heating. Many of them don't have a reset button. Otherwise need to take apart enough to test element and other things like high limit thermostat with a multimeter, if there is continuity is good, if no continuity needs replaced.

[@mysticmommy5187]

Thank you!

[@nurseyfy]

What do you lubricate the wheels with? I’m getting ready to do this to mine;(

[@AlFixit]

I have been using a high temp grease or any grease or even standard car oil works. I think that wD40 does not last very long.

[@humbertodelgado1018]

How much normally cost for a maintenance service like this one ?

[@AlFixit]

I think it depends on what area you are in. I am not sure but if the price too low, nobody will do it and if price too high, can just replace it cheaper. I often help out seniors and fix for free but I think the owner of this one gave me $100 anyway.

[@frederickblandon7119]

You never mentioned what cause the safety switch to reset..having the same issue witb my LG gas dryer.

[@AlFixit]

A good cleaning and lubing often let's it run with less drag and often solves the problem.

[@quackinator1609]

I replaced the drum wheels on my dryer and cleaned all the inside while I had it tsken apart. Put it back together and had to press the reset button. It started heating up but then it tripped again. Any help would be really appreciated!

[@AlFixit]

Could be the exhaust vent to the outside is restricted, or exhaust hose behind the machine gets kinked.

[@quackinator1609]

@@AlFixit couldn't be that. We cleaned those already. I even tested the fuses to see if they worked and they did. I replaced the thermostat fuse anyway just in case. The first load did heat up and it got dried. The second load didn't heat up. I checked to see if the reset button pushed out bur this time it didn't. So now I'm really confused on what the issue could be

[@quackinator1609]

@@AlFixit I checked the exhaust exit and felt the air flowing pretty good. I did a diagnostic test on the dryer and it gave me a d80 error code and the vent flow light turns on. We already cleaned the inside so there's nothing blocking the vent.

[@AlFixit]

@quackinator1609 very interesting, could put thermometer at exhaust to see if temp ranges are actually what thermostat range is or if new part is malfunctioning?

[@quackinator1609]

​@@AlFixitI replaced both the reset button and thermostat button and I'm still getting the error. I even removed the dryer vent hose from the wall and let it run like that. Still gives me the error. At this point, I'm just ready to throw this damn dryer out from a catapult

[@xxxxGoOcHxxxx]

What you suggest for lubrication of the rollers?

[@AlFixit]

Good question. I have tried a few things. First, things like wd 40 are too thin. It works to get things loosened up but then doesn't last long enough. Oil is ok, but I prefer a high temp grease. Some kinds of grease are too thick tho.

[@RicardoGarcia-go3rt]

Do you reset it plugged in?

[@AlFixit]

No, just better to unplug before doing anything inside the machine, even a reset button.

[@RicardoGarcia-go3rt]

@@AlFixit thanks

[@davidjanuski]

Definitely not, it will give you a good electrical shock (from personal experience when I forgot to turn off power once). 😮

[@marktherrian1838]

I have a washtower gas dryer lg thin q

[@docsax7769]

Ok so where is the reset button?

[@AlFixit]

At 1:30. You didn't watch that far?

[@NgocNguyen-s2p1r]

Too much work, show where Reset button???

[@AlFixit]

About a minute and a half into the video I show you exactly where the button is... too much work?
