How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4445128 / 6500EL3001A Dryer Moisture Sensor Bar

The part repair advised to change the moisture sensor, but it didn't solve the problem. I opened the front panel and found out there was a small peace of cloth preventing the motor to run. by removing the cloth the problem solved. Ray 

Replaced moisture sensors and thermistor, they helped more heat but still not enough, checking the gas interval, and it seemed ok but when the light (burner) is on it is not staying long enough like before. Checked gas line and found out the leaking gas very small crack at the end of connector from dryer to gas pipe. Replaced the accordion gas hose and it was the culprit. 

You are our new go to website for parts and repair videos on all of our appliances. After reading some of the other comments, I decided to do what they did. I had to take the drum out anyway, so I might as well replace all of the parts that could be defective. My total order was just $165.00 dollars. It's between $80.00-$100 dollars just to get a repair person in the drive. We live in the country on the edge of a county border, so it's hard to get someone to come out and do any job. I watched every video that you had attached to that part. I couldn't of done it without them! Good news: I fixed the dryer! Bad news, I had 3 screws left over. (insert nervous laugh here) So far, everything sounds solid. 

Appliance parts made it easy to fix it for myself by watching a video how to replace a moisture sensor bar, I saved maybe $200 by DIY. 

Replaced thermostat assembly, high heat thermostat, thermostat, moisture sensors, and the thermistor 

Hello. Initially clothes would take more cycles to dry completely until one day just stopped working and it smelled like burned "dog hair" and I don't have pets.I found out the vent was dislodged inside so all the lint and heat was going into the dryer instead of outside. I don't know if this is a factory defect. I changed all 3 thermostats and the thermistor. The high limit thermostat was clearly burnt and the thermistor had the red wire melted. I changed all of them just to make sure. Didn't changed the moisture sensor yet because you need to,order 2 and not one lol plus wasn't necessary because changing parts above mentioned ,fixed the problem. Had to vacuum rolls of lint that been accumulated there for probably 10 years , that was the nasty part. I say that putting it back together took a little time but overall was easier than I thought. Thank you again appliancepartspros. Fixed my washer machine and now my dryer thanks to you guys. Women, don't be scared , I did it twice now , easy , saved me a lot of money. 

The annoyance of having to dry even small loads multiple times to get dry clothes finally got to me. I searched my dryers heating components, and how to test each of them. I found that my heating element failed the continuity test, and needed to be replaced. During my research I also found on the heating element housing, there are two parts that are attached. Since they a part of the failed system, I figured I’d replace them too. The parts arrived quickly, and the repair only took about 35 minutes. After testing the repair, the dryer works like new again. 

Replaced almost all sensors due to age and a lack of test values. Worked for about a week and stopped heating again. Disassemble again and noticed the plastic stem that adjusts gas flow was backed out on the gas valve. Tightened the lock nut but that was fixed to the stem. Found the blower thermostat was open. Replaced the thermostat again and everything works. Reasoning is that too much gas flow caused an overheat. 

Swapped out the moisture sensor bars, lint filter and lint trap housing. All parts arrived on time and the video tutorials made the repairs very quick and painless. I would definitely use appliance parts pros again. 

Replaced roller.
