LG Dryer Not Drying? {LG Dryer Disassembly & Test Parts}

[@godcinimod]

Took some convincing to get my grandmother to not buy a new dryer. I followed your video and determined that the thermal fuse needed replacing. Saved us a lot of $$$. Thank you!

[@biggymu]

Very well narrated and paced so it was easy to follow. I was able to repair my 2 year old machine using this video. A rodent had chewed through one leg of the broken belt switch. Thank you for your professional troubleshooting tutorial.

[@onlineappliancetech]

You're welcome!

[@driverjamescopeland]

Thanks for the content! General disassembly videos are highly underrated. I would've never found those clips that hold the top on, without going about it all wrong.

[@onlineappliancetech]

Thanks for watching!

[@cliffordburroughs2749]

Same here but still have a broken down dryer

[@edblair3860]

Thanks so much. I used this video to replace 4 drum roller wheels, pulley tensioner and the belt. Parts cost $30 on Amazon and about 2 hours of time which included deep clean of lots of lint. This video saved an expensive service call.

[@onlineappliancetech]

Glad it helped!

[@alexwen2786]

Thank you - I also used your video instructions install the $30 Amazon parts kit. The belt / idler pulley portion of your video helped me. My dryer noise turned was a bad roller wheel. Now my 20 Year Old LG Dryer is quiet like new!

[@juliocastaneda3805]

Could I ask you, how did you get the part numbers? I need to replace one of the drum wheels and the reset thermostat. Thank you ..-

[@Fatherstime09]

This video has helped me not only fix my dryer but friends who have the same type. Granted all I did was clean the lent from the coils and the bottom pan but our drying issue of have been resolved! Thank you sir!

@Online Appliance Tech Thank you for the detailed video! Best one I’ve found for LG dryer not heating diagnostics. Our LG gas dryer went out last Monday and I was able to tear it down, use a multimeter to pinpoint the ignition as the root cause, replaced it and the thermal fuse for good measure. Put it all back together and was stoked to hear the gas ignition on the first try! Seriously, you saved my vacation! I start a week off tomorrow for family vacation and we are able to get our laundry done at home now before we leave.

[@onlineappliancetech]

Thank you so much for your feedback! It's great to hear that the video was useful and you were able to diagnose and fix the issue with your LG gas dryer. Your resourcefulness and hands-on approach are impressive! Knowing that our content not only helped you repair your dryer, but also made a difference in preparing for your family vacation, really makes our day. Enjoy your time off and safe travels. It's heartwarming to know we could contribute to your holiday preparations in our own small way. Thanks for sharing your success story with us!

[@antjobert]

Thank you so much for this video! It's the best one in KZbin for this type of dryer. We had a sewer backup into our basement and the washer and dryer were in up to 6 inches of water at one point. They were in water for maybe 2-3 hours total. We cleaned the washer and it is working fine. Using your video, we opened the top of the dryer, removed the front housing of the dryer with the door attached, and removed the metal housing that the lint trap goes into. That had lint inside that had gotten wet and it smelled bad. We cleaned that up really well, and i dried the standing water out of the casing for the blower. We did not remove the the drum. We cleaned as much as we could reach. We left it to dry overnight and then reassembled it. We had two screws leftover. 😬 Turning on the machine was fine. We started a test cycle, and the machine ran normally except for a constant squealing sound that we had not heard before. Any ideas what might be wrong? Squeals to me often mean a belt issue. I don't feel capable of removing the drum and belt and putting that back on correctly, so i suspect we may need to just call a technician if the problem would likely require removing the drum.

For those wondering if Model DLE7300WE is opened just like he did in this video. It does, I was able to open this model just like he did in the video. I also had confirmed with LG before trying.

[@davidlubin7389]

Great video…well presented. I noticed a lot of humidity or standing water gets into my dryer tub when not in use. Guessing it’s just coming in through the outside vent (I am in VA & it’s very hot & humid here), but wanted to know if you’ve experienced this or had any other recommendations to prevent it.

[@mikey3000]

This is a great video. Thank you so much. I did everything and replaced the thermostat and the thermostat or whatever it is right next to the thermostat, there is no visual damage to the wires. It started working for a few loads and then stopped again with the same error code. I opened it back up and checked again, everything is reading correctly on the multimeter this time so not sure what the problem could be now. Same error. Is it the circuit board itself possibly?

[@mikey3000]

I meant to say thermistor

[@onlineappliancetech]

It seems like the Main Control is the issue. Check out my LG dryer video which covers the thermistor problem. You can find it in my LG dryer playlist.

[@jasontusick6260]

Amazing Video!! I have similar model dryer and all my parts seem to be testing good. When I plug mine in the drum light just flashes. Any Ideas? I get 240 volts from the outlet and the plug but when connected to the dryer I no longer get 240 volts.

[@The219boys]

high limit thermostat is there a different from the M230 vs M220 Or can I put the Reset one in both spots

[@Jen-yr5qw]

Thank you for this video! What model number is this? And is the thermistor the red wire that was next to the thermostat when you were checking those ohms?

[@fortnacs]

Wife was mad that the dryer wouldn't spin. She left and went to the washateria. I found your video and pulled one of my kids wooden block out of the blower by the time she got back.

[@onlineappliancetech]

I'm glad my video helped you troubleshoot the dryer! Sometimes a little DIY can save the day.

[@browngal00]

Hi, Will this work on model dle7300we? I and want to make sure this is the same way i can open up this model thank you.

[@TommyG5585]

The thermal fuse button part is called what? You said it had a couple names. Would you tell me the part number for it. I pressed that button and my LG heated up but you said to replace it so I will. Thank is for your kindness and this vid.

[@onlineappliancetech]

Part number AGM30045804 is now only available as a kit from LG and is specifically for gas dryers.

[@jeffreygrant8897]

What is the model number of the dryer you are working on? Getting the little tabs to push in didn't seem to work for me on my LG DLE7060WE.

[@grizzley409]

Hi, I put the dryer back together but it has a rattling like sound now.

[@natayacohn2907]

Ok so my dryer was working and was drying through a te1 so I ordered the parts on Amazon just put them in it did the te1 code once again than I tried it again it works but it has a smell is that normal and thank you for the video it helped me learn how to get to the parts after it took hours trying to take the back panel off lol

[@onlineappliancetech]

Gas smell or burning smell?

[@macias2e]

Great video. My dryer is throwing a te1 error, would you know what this means?

[@onlineappliancetech]

TE1 is a dryer thermistor error code. Make sure your air flow is good. And duct work is not kink up from dryer to wall. Hope this helps!

[@macias2e]

​@@onlineappliancetech I checked my duct work, it's all good. I just replaced the thermistor and just got done reassembling the dryer, did a test run I'm still get the same code. Any ideas?

[@onlineappliancetech]

Under LG Dryer Service Manual under Remarks it states = tE1 error is displayed in the drying cycle or test mode. Replace the Steam Generator, however I would recommend calling a good LG tech to come by and check out and diagnose the problem. Hope this helps!

[@jalealejandra]

Thank you so much for this video! I just need advice if you can, my dryer wasn’t starting, just making the click sound, so I followed your instructions and changed the motor small thermostat which fixed the issue!!! And used one cycle and dried my cover perfectly but then it stopped working again, making the same click sound when pressing start, any theories?

[@onlineappliancetech]

Seems like you have a blockage, meaning restricted air flow. Check your duct work from your dryer to the wall to make sure it is not bent or clogged up.Unfortunately you will have to replace the fuse again, or you could tap it on its back to reset to save you time. Just make sure you hear it shake or rattle on the inside, That lets you know it's reset. Hope this helps.

[@jalealejandra]

@@onlineappliancetech ok, I will try this, thank you so much for replying!

[@onlineappliancetech]

No problem

[@AprilJappert]

How do you put the door back on

[@AlSilva-jx9rh]

I have this same dryer that's out of warranty, and I'm looking for help to fix it myself. The machine turns on and shows that it's “running” (it even counts down and ‘acts’ like its running a cycle,“. I once got the “NP” error code, but it has since disappeared. I checked the breaker and confirmed that my wall outlet and plug are both drawing 240V. Could this be a belt drum issue, or is it related to the blower housing thermostat or fuse? I'm unsure how to check the latter. I have also done a wifi diagnostics and everything checked out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@AlSilva-jx9rh]

I replaced the 6:40 thermal thermostat and it worked for one cycle and stopped working. Anyone know why?

[@AlSilva-jx9rh]

I replaced the thermostat for the motor and it worked for some time. 16 minutes before the cycle was to be completed the machine stopped and was told to check the sensor flow and it hasn't worked again. Any ideas on what is going on here??

[@anapartida7460]

Did you unscrew the back to take the top off

[@alesp6552]

Nice video how do u test the moisture sensor on that same machine my dryer turns on for like 2 minutes then the clock switches to 1 minute then end on the screen technician came to fix it said the air duct needed to be cleaned but it's clean

[@onlineappliancetech]

Sounds like air flow? A good way to test is to disconnect the air duct from the back of the dryer and see if it runs longer? If it does great that means it's your vents that would need to be cleaned Also make sure you place a load of damp clothes in the dryer before you test so it can detect them. If none of this helps please send me model number. Best Regards Matt...

[@danedouble3295]

In reassembling I, seemed to have melted, the belt, based on smell and the dryer not spinning, is it supposed to go to a specific place?

[@JuanFlores-nl9nc]

Is there a capacitor in this dryer

[@bradlane811]

Great Video! I have a te1 code so after replacing the thermistor and sensors right next to it I still get the te1 code right away. The igniter had a reading up in the 300’s, could that be my issue? LG gas dryer model DLG7301VE

[@onlineappliancetech]

The TE1 error code on your LG Dryer model DLG7301VE typically indicates a problem with the thermistor, a component that measures temperature within the dryer. This error is often triggered when the dryer does not properly detect or read the temperature. The issue can be due to a few reasons, such as: The thermistor might be defective or damaged. There could be a problem with the wire harness connected to the thermistor, possibly due to a loose connection or a wire short. In rare cases, it could be an issue with the control board that reads the thermistor's resistance. It is recommended to unplug your dryer and check the thermistor and the wiring for visible damage. If there's no visible damage, you might need a multimeter to test the thermistor's resistance. However, please be aware that this requires a level of technical competence. If you're unsure, it may be best to contact a professional to help diagnose and fix the problem. Hope this helps! And best of luck!

[@bradlane811]

I have checked the thermistor with my multimeter and it was good, I still replaced it but this did not solve my problem. The wires look good so I’m leaning towards the board being the problem. Is there a part number or is this something only a technician can replace?

[@linos9457]

I have the same problem. Was it the control board? If yes, what is the part number?

[@jflizzle457]

Thank you for this! But... Ok so I have little arms, can I reach in after taking the blower housing to reach that lil reset button 👀 I know my limits and I 100% don't trust myself to take the drum out 😅

[@rickeykeeton4770]

I have model DLE5001W. Door switch has 2 wire connector besides the door switch itself. Can’t seem to find info on where they go. Comment?

[@onlineappliancetech]

For the LG dryer model DLE5001W, the door switch will have a specific connector that is meant to attach to a corresponding part of the dryer's wiring harness. This is to ensure that the connection is made correctly and safely. The two-wire connector you have should only fit into its corresponding connector in one way-this is by design to prevent incorrect wiring which could potentially cause malfunction or pose a safety risk. If you're not seeing where it should connect, or if the connection isn't obvious, then: Double-check the user manual for a wiring diagram or installation guide for the door switch. Look for any markings on the wiring harness that might indicate the correct connection point. Examine the connectors for unique shapes or color-coding that might match the harness. If still in doubt, it's advisable to consult with a professional technician or reach out to LG customer support directly for guidance.

[@rickeykeeton4770]

@@onlineappliancetech Gonna look for the user manual today. I cannot visually find another connection for the two wire connector. Thanks for the response. If I can’t find the answer, I may just scrap it for parts. Wire burnt in the cutoff and high limit thermostat has come apart. Both test bad. I might straight wire them for testing purposes since parts seems to have gone up in price so much, and I am a little leery of LG’s.

[@rickeykeeton4770]

My dumb ass found the connection for the two wires. It fit the drum light. SMH. I am pretty sure I checked for that, but I was just haphazardly placing the the front parts if the dryer in place by hand and in sort of a hurry. I didn’t think the the wires were long enough. Checked again and they are for the light. Reminds me of a few times I forgot to connect lid switches on washers.

What about a clean filter code and it is cleaned out I even pulled exhaust out. Everything turns on but when pressed start it just beeps.. nothing happens

[@joeshmo23w]

Hello My 2-3 year old LG dryer stoped heating recently. I checked my vents and they were really clogged prob from previous owner. I cleaned out the vents and found out about the reset button. Dryer started heating for a few loads but stops heating after a few loads. I have to always hit the reset button after one or two loads. Do you think I should replace the thermal fuse? I’m sure it’s prob hard to say without properly inspecting everything but do you think this is the most common problem? I watched your video and a few others and think it’s something I could do. I just don’t have all the testing equipment to test everything. Thank you

[@joeshmo23w]

Sorry one more question. The part I am referring to is the thermal fuse that has the reset button. Under your parts link, I see the high limit thermostat that was towards the back and you explained right after. Do you have the link for the thermal fuse connected to reset button or Is this essentially the same part?

[@onlineappliancetech]

Open the door, turn the drum clock wise, if it is hard to turn you will need to replace roller wheels . Reason why is if your drum is not moving at the right speed due to rollers not allowing the drum to move at the right speed hot air will be trapped inside of the drum and cause the fuse to trip. Also when you replace wheels make sure to clean all air flow inside of the dryer well.

[@frndssayaugust306]

Out of warranty. Retailer delivered this one a year and one month ago.. now wants 20% of cost for new one just to come service. Old one was from the eighties always worked like a tank. I should not have let them take it when they delivered this one. Thanks for the video. LG = “ literal garbage”

I had the same issue you described, when I turn the machine on it makes a humming noise and isn't spinning while everything else seems to be working like normal. How did your motor replacement go, did it fix your problem? And if you don't mind where did you buy your parts. Motor isn't seized and turns easily, machine was pulled out of storage recently and worked for about 3 loads but I thought the motor did sound a little loud, now it did what you described. Thanks in advance I hope I see a reply.

My husband replaced the thermal fuse since it had no continuity and it wouldn't start would just click I ran the dryer for like 10 minutes n then it started doing thr same thing clicking and not starting

[@onlineappliancetech]

It appears that your ductwork may be clogged, causing the fuse to trip. You should ensure that the ductwork leading from the dryer to the outside of the house isn't backed up. Additionally, inspect the ductwork to ensure there are no bends that might restrict airflow from the dryer.
