Dryer won't heat or takes too long to dry? A faulty igniter often causes no heat in gas dryers. Moderate DIY repair with front panel removal required.
I first ordered a thermostat and ignitor and replaced and that did not work. I asked Appliance Parts Pros their opinion in the chat and they said it was the coils in the gas valve but you had to replace the entire valve as the coils are not sold individually. So i ordered the part and also replaced the thermistor and drum belt while i had the dryer apart anyway! And this fixed the problem! These guys are the absolute best and most helpful i have ever dealt with. This is the second time i... Read more
Guides and secures the lint filter in place within your dryer. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to properly hold the lint screen assembly.
I have order three parts, guide filter, cover guide, and sensor assembly. My previous cover guide was from two parts, when sensor assembly was one of them. New part ( guide cover ) was all in one piece so I just transfer old metal part of sensor to new cover guide and I don't need that sensor assembly anymore. I have ordered all three parts overnight by Fedex, ordered 15 min before 5pm, so next day it was here. Dryer is fixed, I'm happy. Read more
Dryer not heating or overheating and shutting off? This thermostat assembly regulates temperature to prevent damage. Easy DIY repair in about 1 hour.
After I cleaned out the typical 1.5 pounds of lint from the vent, ( I do it every 2 months), I went searching for a solution. I found 6 possible causes on this site and purchased everything except a new burner; I wasn't going to go that far. Let the fun begin. Since my vacuum was still nearby, I thought I was ready for anything. Wrong. After I watched all the videos again for reassurance, I went in with screwdriver in hand and laptop nearby. I removed the top and looked inside. Don't be fooled,... Read more
Cover that secures the lint filter housing in place. Replacement needed when original is cracked, broken, or split from normal wear or impact damage.
The dryer is 10 years old. I replaced all 4 roller wheels. While I had it apart I also replaced the drive belt and the idler pulley assembly. Once I had it apart I did find 2 wheels that were very worn, (1 front, 1 back) which is what I believe the problem was as they were also very hard to spin. Dryer works like new now. The repair video was VERY helpful. Read more
Idler pulley maintains tension on the dryer belt. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing belt slippage. Installs between motor and drum support system.
I have an LG dryer purchased in 2007. Model: DLE9577SM. It was squeaking at start-up and rumbling a little. Not knowing what parts I would actually need, I ordered rollers with/without assemblies, tensioner pulley-only, new belt. After viewing this video a couple of times, I attacked my machine which is located in the comfort of my garage. Lots of room to spread out. Nice. This disassembly went OK however because, I suspect, my machine is 13 years old, the removal of the control panel was... Read more
Converting your dryer from natural gas to propane? This LP conversion kit includes the orifice and components needed. Moderate difficulty repair.
Ordered conversion kit from Appliance Parts Pros.com and installed it myself. Most difficult part of the repair, was the removal of the front casing of the dryer to access the location of venturi tube to be changed out. The instructions were helpful, but not specific enough for my dryer. Once the casing was off, the job was not too difficult - you will need a set of short screwdrivers to remove the burner flange and close the pressure adjustment screw, normal length screw drivers will come into...

The Door Seal is an OEM part for LG dryers. It forms a tight seal around the dryer door, preventing heat and moisture from escaping during the drying cycle, which ensures efficient drying and energy use.
Causes of a bad door seal can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the dryer door, or degradation from exposure to heat and moisture over time. A compromised door seal can lead to longer drying times and increased energy consumption.
Symptoms of a bad door seal include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This is a mounting bracket that holds the moisture sensor in place inside the dryer drum area. The moisture sensor detects how wet the clothes are and signals the dryer to stop when they are dry. Replace this holder if it is cracked, broken, or missing, which can cause the moisture sensor to shift out of position and lead to clothes being over-dried or under-dried.
We called a repairman out who was rude, obnoxious and seemingly incompetent. After an hour of dissembling our dryer, he quickly slapped it back together and told us it would be $200 to fix. No other explanation. We sent him on his way and I found your site, found the ($5) part and watched the 5 min repair video. Ordered the part and had it in our hands in less than 48 hours. I had the dryer repaired in 20 min. Saved us a lot of money and made me feel pretty good about my own normally meager... Read more

Dryer door hinge connects the door to the cabinet frame. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn causing misalignment or door sagging. Installs with 3 screws.
I took out 3 screws and replaced the part and it took maybe 1 minute. I only needed a screwdriver. Works great and I am very happy it is fixed but not about doing more laundry. Read more
Cover that fits over the dryer's lint filter duct area. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to keep items from falling into the duct when filter is removed.
The original issue with the dryer is that a corner of the lint screen was sticking out of the lint screen guide, and it would not stay flush with the guide. As a result, many tank top straps, waistband strings, and blankets would get caught on this corner and twist, tear, or warp my clothes. When I did my research on the issue, I kept reading that it was an issue with the lint screen that came with the dryer. So I ordered the lint screen, guide, and cover that appliance part pros recommends to... Read more

Bought a new switch assembly, watched the video, and replaced the switch. Thr dryer now runs fine. Replacement part matched esxactly. Read more
The Light Bulb is an OEM part for LG dryers. This bulb illuminates the interior of the dryer drum, making it easier to see and load or unload laundry, especially in low-light conditions.
Over time, the light bulb can burn out or become damaged due to regular use and exposure to high temperatures within the dryer. Causes of a bad light bulb include normal wear and tear, electrical surges, or physical damage to the bulb.
Symptoms of a bad light bulb include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore dryers.
After unplugging the dryer from the wall socket, I used a screwdriver ( Phillips ) to remove the light cover fixture. This gave me access to the bulb which had burned out. I first use my fingers to remove the bulb but the base came lose from the glass bulb. I then used a needle nose pliers to remove the metal base of the bulb from the light fixture. Once the metal base was removed I used my fingers to replace the old bulb with a new one. It screws in easily. Now I replaced the light fixture... Read more

Holds the lint filter screen securely in place inside your dryer door. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn from years of use to properly secure the filter.
Ordered grille cover and filter guide to replace broken parts. Easily removed grille cover and filter guide with star tip screw driver. Broken parts slipped or popped right out. Slid in new filter guide then grille cover. Put the 4 screws back in. Had a little difficulty matching up screw holes in the plastic parts with the holes in the metal of the dryer itself but once they all lined up the repair was quickly finished. Took me about a half hour but probably shouldn't have. Really was a... Read more
