Parts for Lg DLEC888W: Back Cover & Drum Parts

The Dryer Belt is an OEM part for LG dryers. As a component of the dryer's drive system, this belt works with the motor to power the turning drum.

Causes of a bad dryer belt include normal wear and tear from years of rotating the drum. Moisture exposure, stretching over time, or damage from impact can also prematurely wear belts.

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt are:

• The dryer not starting or functioning through cycles
• An abnormal noise coming from the rear of the machine
• Failure of the drum to tumble clothes during drying

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
 

This outer cabinet provides the main exterior enclosure for the appliance, protecting internal components and giving the unit its finished appearance. Restores original fit and function when the outer housing is dented, cracked, or damaged. What it does:

• Replaces the appliance's outer enclosure to protect internal parts from dust, moisture, and impact.
• Restores proper alignment of doors, panels, and control openings affected by a damaged cabinet.
• Helps eliminate rattles, sharp edges, and cosmetic damage that can interfere with safe operation.
• Matches OEM mounting points so existing brackets, seals, and trim attach correctly.

• One outer cabinet

• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting; remove any attached trim, doors, or panels per service manual.
• Retain and reuse original screws, brackets, and insulation unless damaged; verify gasket/seal condition during reassembly.
• Minor alignment adjustments may be needed to ensure doors and controls sit flush.

This customized screw secures appliance panels and components for a reliable fit and safe operation. Use it to replace a missing or damaged fastener and restore proper assembly without needing a full component rebuild. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets or small internal components to maintain proper alignment
• Restores lost or stripped fasteners that cause rattling, loose parts, or gaps
• Matches OEM fit for secure, vibration-resistant fastening when replaced correctly
• Helps prevent damage from loose components that can affect performance or safety

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to prevent thread or component damage
• Keep removed screws organized to ensure correct reassembly

A complete electric dryer heater assembly that provides the heating element and housing to warm laundry for normal drying cycles. Replaces a worn or failed heater unit to restore proper drying performance. What it does:

• Houses the heating element that produces the hot airflow for drying
• Circuits heat through the element when the dryer calls for heat
• Commonly used when the dryer runs but clothes remain damp or drying times are much longer
• Needed if the element is visibly damaged, open, or causes intermittent heating

• Disconnect power (unplug the dryer or shut off the breaker) before service
• Handle the element and terminals carefully to avoid bending or breaking fragile parts
• Inspect thermal fuses, thermostats, and wiring while replacing the heater assembly; replace any damaged safety devices

This thermostat assembly is a temperature-controlled switch for the dryer's heating circuit. It helps regulate internal air temperature to prevent overheating and maintain consistent drying performance. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper heat control. What it does:

• Monitors and controls drum/exhaust air temperature during cycles
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to cycle the heater on and off
• Helps prevent overheating and protects other heat-related components
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, overheating/shutting off, or long dry times

• Includes: 1 thermostat assembly

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off gas supply before service
• Access the thermostat per your model's service instructions; note wire locations before removal
• Move wires one-by-one to the new part and secure mounting screws firmly
• After replacement, verify proper airflow/venting to prevent repeat temperature issues
