Parts for Lg DLE3500W: Control Panel And Plate Assembly Parts

The Tub Assembly is an OEM component for LG clothes dryers. As the central component housing both the inner and outer drums, the tub assembly is essential for safely drying wet laundry loads. It rotates the drums to circulate air and remove moisture from clothes during cycles. 

Causes of a bad tub assembly dryer can include cracks, leaks, or damage to the drum structure from excessive use or unbalanced loads over time. Wear and tear on rotating or suspension components that impair rotation. 

Symptoms of an issue with the tub assembly dryer are:

• Inefficient or slow drying times 
• Abnormal noises or vibrations during cycles
• Restricted or lack of drum rotation
• Cracks, leaks, or physical damage visible on drums

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

Replace your dryer's control panel assembly to restore responsive buttons and accurate display readings. Confirm fit with your model number before ordering.

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for LG dryers. This baffle is attached to the inside of the dryer drum and is designed to help lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad dryer drum baffle can include wear and tear from regular use, physical damage from heavy or sharp objects, or becoming loose due to vibration over time. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum baffle include:

• Thumping or banging noises during the drying cycle
• Clothes not tumbling properly, leading to uneven drying
• Loose or rattling baffle inside the drum
• Visible damage or breakage on the baffle

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

This is the main electronic control board that manages dryer functions including cycle selection, temperature regulation, and motor operation. It processes input from sensors and the user interface to coordinate all drying operations. Replace this board if your dryer fails to start, stops mid-cycle, displays error codes, or does not respond to control panel inputs.

The Belt is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers that is responsible for connecting the motor to the drum to allow it to tumble. Over time, dryer belts can stretch, wear out, or even break, leading to a drum that won't turn and clothes that don't dry properly.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Belt include:

• The dryer motor running but the drum not turning.
• A squealing or thumping noise coming from the dryer.
• The dryer not starting at all.

Causes of failure can include regular wear and tear from the dryer's operation, overloading the dryer beyond its capacity, which puts extra strain on the belt, or a misalignment that causes uneven wear. A damaged belt can prevent your dryer from functioning correctly, leading to inefficiency in drying clothes and potential motor damage due to unnecessary strain.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Hi Limit Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for LG dryers. This fuse is a safety device that protects the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer’s temperature exceeds a safe limit. It ensures that the dryer operates within safe temperature ranges, preventing potential fire hazards.

Replace the hi limit thermal fuse if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, a buildup of lint, or exposure to high temperatures over time. A malfunctioning fuse can compromise the dryer’s ability to regulate heat properly.

Symptoms of a bad hi limit thermal fuse include:

• The dryer not heating
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• No response from the dryer when attempting to start a cycle
• Extended drying times due to lack of heat

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This knob assembly is the replacement rotary control used to select settings on the appliance. It restores a worn, cracked, or missing knob to make dialing controls easy and accurate again. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing control knob so you can select cycles, temperatures, or settings
• Provides a secure grip and tactile detents for reliable user control
• Helps stop slipping or loose operation caused by worn knobs or stripped splines
• Restores the appliance's original look and usability

• Turn off and unplug the appliance (or disconnect power) before replacing the knob.
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; push the new knob onto the shaft until it seats.
• If the knob does not fit, do not force it—verify spline alignment and part compatibility.

Replace your dryer drum seal when clothes take longer to dry or you notice lint buildup. Maintains heat efficiency and prevents air leaks. Confirm fit with your model number.

The Hi Limit Thermostat Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. This thermostat monitors and regulates the temperature within the dryer to prevent overheating, ensuring safe and efficient operation. It acts as a safety device that shuts off the heating element if the dryer exceeds a certain temperature, protecting the appliance and your home from potential fire hazards.

Over time, the hi limit thermostat can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or repeated exposure to high temperatures. If the thermostat becomes faulty, it can lead to improper temperature regulation within the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad hi limit thermostat include:

• The dryer overheating
• The dryer not heating at all
• The dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• Extended drying times due to inconsistent heating

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

Thread-forming fastener that secures panels, brackets, and internal components. Replace this screw if it's missing, stripped, or damaged during repairs.

This kit includes the high limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse that protect the dryer from overheating. The thermostat monitors the exhaust temperature and shuts off the heating element if it gets too hot, while the thermal fuse acts as a one-time safety device that permanently breaks the circuit during a dangerous overheat condition. Replace these components if the dryer won't heat, shuts off prematurely, or won't start at all - a blown thermal fuse is a common cause of a completely non-functional dryer.

The Roller Kit is an OEM part for LG dryers. This 4 roller kit includes replacement drum support rollers, which are essential for allowing the dryer drum to rotate smoothly during operation. The rollers are designed to provide stable support for the drum, minimizing noise and ensuring efficient drying performance. 

Over time, drum rollers can wear out due to continuous use, exposure to heavy loads, or lack of proper lubrication. When the rollers become damaged or worn, they may develop flat spots, lose their smooth surface, or begin to squeak. These issues can lead to improper drum rotation or increased strain on other dryer components.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Kit include:  

• Loud squeaking, rumbling, or thumping noises during operation  
• The dryer drum not spinning or rotating unevenly  
• Excessive vibrations while the dryer is running  

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This is an authentic OEM drum support roller sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in clothes dryers. During the drying cycle, the drum turns and tosses the clothes around to distribute heat. This drum support roller holds the drum in place as it rotates. Over time, the heat from the dryer can lead to the roller becoming worn. If the dryer is making squealing sounds or thumping when operating, the support roller is worn out and should be replaced. Before replacing the drum support roller, make sure the power is disconnected from the dryer. Remove the top and front panel of the dryer to reach the drum. The idler pulley and dryer belt are underneath the drum; remove these and then take the drum out of the unit and set it aside. Remove the mounting bracket holding the worn drum support roller. Remove and replace the worn roller. While the dryer is apart, inspect the remaining support rollers. Reverse the steps used and put the dryer back together. Power the dryer and make sure the drum turns.This is a black and white, rubber and metal part that is individually sold. It does not come with assembly hardware. This drum support roller is designed for dryers manufactured by LG, Kenmore, and General Electric.
