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

Our 8 year old LG dryer didn't want to heat anymore. Looking on Appliance Parts Pros, I discovered similar issues, lots of solutions and helpful videos to support. Ordered most of the parts that dealt with the "heating" of the dryer and watched Matt's videos. Kudos to Matt. He does an excellent job teaching through the video. The production is done perfectly as well. I was able to take apart the dryer, replace four parts and put it back together in about an hour and a half. I could not have done it without the videos produced by Matt and AppliancePartsPros. Thank you. 

We order 5 of the parts and replaced all parts that we order and now my dryer is working again. My recommendation would be to replace the thermostat parts first and then replace the other parts. 

I ordered five parts not knowing which part was the problem I just replaced all since I was taking dryer apart anyway. Replaced high temp thermostat, thermostat, thermistor, and both moisture sensors. Fairly smooth deconstruction after watching how to videos a couple times. Struggled a small bit with disconnecting some of the circuit plugs because they had never been disconnected before but overall not too hard. Kept things organized by using sticky notes with all the metal screws as I went through each piece of machinery removed. After removing all of the parts needed to get to circuits. The inside of unit had a lot of lint built up all over. Cleaning that up took the most time of all. I washed and dried all pieces that could be put in sink and vacuumed and wiped all of other pieces with a damp rag. Took at least 1.5 hours to clean everything well. Put all new circuits in and reassembled unit in about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reattached exhaust tube and tested unit works great like new. Save huge money just took about 1/2 day to get it all done correctly. 

Replaced the thermistor, both thermostats, and a moisture sensor. It was most likely the thermistor, but for less than $50 I replaced them all while in the unit. I ordered the parts from Appliance Parts Pros, and had them delivered the very next day even though I selected standard shipping. The videos were detailed and very easy to follow. The parts were a perfect fit. 

It fixed my dryer. Thanks for your support, quick delivery and helpful videos. You made it a very easy guide to follow. I disassembled. Tested fuses and heat coil and determined it was the thermostat. Replaced and all is well. 

Replaced thermistor assembly, high limit thermostat, thermostat and both moisture sensor bars. Watched video tutorials which were very helpful. After replacing parts the dryer worked perfectly. 

I fixed it my self. Looking at your videos,. Thanks so much for all your help.very easy, took me an 1 1/2 hour to replace all parts. 

Installed new sensor bars. 

With the on-line videos and the help of a great guy named Dakota... I replaced the heat valve and thermistor. While I had the drier apart I replaced the belt and three other sensors. Works FANTASTIC! 

Replaced the High Limit Thermostat, two Thermostats and two Moisture Sensing Bars. I don't know which part fixed the problem but I wasn't going to keep swapping parts and reassembling the dryer. Parts were cheap enough I decided to do them all (after the Thermister replacement did not fix the problem). The dryer is like new. The videos were excellent.
