Dryer not heating or overheating? The high limit thermostat shuts off heat at unsafe temperatures. Moderate difficulty repair requiring partial disassembly.

Replace your dryer's duct assembly if cracked, broken, or damaged. This component channels air from the drum through the heating system to ensure proper airflow.

The Igniter Sensor is an OEM part for LG dryers. This sensor plays a critical role in the ignition process, ensuring that the gas ignites properly to produce the heat necessary for drying clothes efficiently. It helps monitor and regulate the ignition temperature.

Over time, the igniter sensor can become faulty due to regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical issues. These factors can lead to a malfunction, resulting in the dryer not heating properly or failing to start.

Symptoms of a bad igniter sensor include:

• Dryer not heating up
• Long drying times
• Dryer not starting
• Unusual smells or noises during operation

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

Mounting bracket that secures internal dryer components. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper alignment and stability of assemblies.

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.

Fix loud banging, grinding noise, or poor drying performance with a new dryer blower wheel. Restores proper airflow through drum and exhaust vent.

This is a fastener and retainer assembly that secures the blower wheel to the motor shaft inside a dryer. It keeps the blower wheel firmly in place so it can properly circulate hot air through the drum and out the exhaust vent. Replace this assembly if the blower wheel wobbles, makes rattling or squealing noises, or if the retainer nut is stripped or broken, causing poor airflow and longer drying times.

Blower housing assembly for dryer that channels heated air from the drum to the exhaust. Replaces a cracked or damaged housing to restore proper airflow and help the dryer dry more efficiently and quietly. What it does:

• Channels heated air from the drum to the exhaust and supports the blower wheel.
• Restores airflow when a damaged or cracked housing is restricting ventilation.
• Commonly used to address reduced drying performance and longer dry times.
• Can also resolve unusual rattling or grinding noises coming from the lower front of the dryer.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning work; wear eye protection and gloves.
• Remove access panels and disconnect vent/ducting per your model's service instructions to reach the blower housing.
• Inspect the blower wheel and surrounding seals/gaskets while the housing is out; replace damaged components as needed.
• Reassemble all panels and venting securely and test the dryer for proper airflow and operation after installation.

If your dryer isn't venting properly or clothes stay damp, a clogged or damaged exhaust duct may be the cause. This assembly restores airflow in 30 minutes.

This guide assembly is a replacement slide guide that helps support and align moving components for smooth operation and reliable engagement. It restores proper tracking and reduces wobble or binding in the mechanism. What it does:

This micro switch is a compact, snap-action electrical switch that sends an on/off signal when a lever, latch, or paddle is moved. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable detection and control response for the affected function.

• Converts mechanical movement into an electrical open/close signal to the control
• Commonly used for lever/paddle actuators, latches, or interlock detection within the appliance
• Safe symptom clues: no response when actuated, intermittent operation, or a function stuck on/off
• Physical clues: weak or absent "click" when pressed, heat discoloration or damage at terminals

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the product is connected to a water line, close the supply valve
• Note wire positions and terminal labels (COM/NO/NC); transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Match the actuator orientation and mounting position to the original for proper operation
• After installation, verify continuity with a multimeter and test function before reassembly

Idler pulley maintains tension on the dryer belt. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing belt slippage. Installs between motor and drum support system.
