Robert B Fair Oaks , CA February 27, 2026 No heat The hi-limit did the trick. Thanks for giving your probability info. I suspected that that would be the culprit but it was nice to have the second opinion. A lot of the time spent was dealing with blowing out the lint. Read More...

Denise G Sheridan , MI January 05, 2026 My dryer wasn't putting out any heat First thing I did was google the problem and went thru the dryer as it showed. Found the problem and then ordered a thermal fuse and a thermal thermostat from Appliance Parts. Put the new parts in and it fixed the problem. Want to add that I was very pleased with the shipping time. It was only a couple of days and I had the new parts. Beings that it was the holidays I was surprised at the fast ship time. Read More...

David R Irvine , CA January 03, 2026 Thermal fuse on lg dryer was beginning to fail Unplugged the dryer and removed the lint tube. Removed the lint exhaust tube and the repair/entry port on the right side. Turned the dryer on its left side to get better access to the Thermal Fuse. Removed the 2 wires connected to the fuse. Removed the 2 screws holding the fuse (hard to get out with one hand). Placed the new fuse and replaced the 2 screws (again, hard to get to with one hand, so it helped to have magnetized philips head screwdriver). Replaced the 2 wires. Replaced the repair/entry port. replaced the lint exhust tube and reconnected the lint tube. Repositioned the dryer and plugged it in. Read More...

8 Bo M Saint Louis , MO January 26, 2025 Appliance: Model DLE330RAWLE5977S My lg dryer was not heating I took the dryer almost all apart to get to the replacement part. If I would have had a smaller hand, I could have done it without taking out the drum but it did give me a chance to really clean out all the lint (and there was a lot of it). I have had this dryer for over 20 years and this was the first problem I have had with it. The replacement part was simple to replace once everything was clean and put back into place. The recommended trouble shooting on your site was correct for my problem. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
