This hinge bracket supports the dryer door and secures it to the dryer cabinet, allowing the door to pivot open and closed. It is a structural mounting piece that bears the weight and stress of repeated door use. Replace this bracket if the dryer door is loose, misaligned, sagging, or if the bracket is cracked or bent.

Pipe connector for dryers and laundry centers. Replaces broken, cracked, or missing mechanical pipe connectors. Essential for secure pipe assembly.

Metal bracket that secures the hinge to your dryer door or cabinet. Replace if bent, cracked, or broken to restore proper door alignment and support.

The Belt is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers that is responsible for connecting the motor to the drum to allow it to tumble. Over time, dryer belts can stretch, wear out, or even break, leading to a drum that won't turn and clothes that don't dry properly.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Belt include:

• The dryer motor running but the drum not turning.
• A squealing or thumping noise coming from the dryer.
• The dryer not starting at all.

Causes of failure can include regular wear and tear from the dryer's operation, overloading the dryer beyond its capacity, which puts extra strain on the belt, or a misalignment that causes uneven wear. A damaged belt can prevent your dryer from functioning correctly, leading to inefficiency in drying clothes and potential motor damage due to unnecessary strain.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Dryer Thermistor is an OEM part for LG dryers, designed to monitor and help regulate the temperature within the dryer by providing feedback to the control board about the temperature inside the drum. This allows the dryer to adjust its heat settings accordingly, preventing overheating and ensuring clothes are dried evenly and safely.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking longer than usual to dry.
• The dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle.
• Error messages appearing on the dryer's display panel.
• The dryer getting too hot or not heating enough.

Causes of a bad Dryer Thermistor can include a buildup of lint and debris affecting its ability to accurately sense temperature, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues within the dryer's circuitry.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.

Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:

• The dryer drum fails to turn, even though the dryer powers on.
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during cycles or won't start at all.
• Decreased drying efficiency or clothes taking longer to dry due to inconsistent drum speed.

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

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for LG dryers. This baffle is attached to the inside of the dryer drum and is designed to help lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad dryer drum baffle can include wear and tear from regular use, physical damage from heavy or sharp objects, or becoming loose due to vibration over time. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum baffle include:

• Thumping or banging noises during the drying cycle
• Clothes not tumbling properly, leading to uneven drying
• Loose or rattling baffle inside the drum
• Visible damage or breakage on the baffle

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Dryer won't heat or stops mid-cycle? This gas burner valve assembly controls fuel flow to the igniter. Moderately challenging repair with basic tools.

This washer tub assembly is the stationary outer tub that surrounds the spin basket and contains the wash water. Replacing a cracked or damaged tub helps stop leaks and restores proper clearance for smooth, quiet washing and spinning.

• Creates a watertight chamber around the basket to hold wash and rinse water
• Maintains proper basket clearance; damage can cause rubbing or scraping sounds
• Provides connection points for hoses and water-level components
• Common signs it may be needed: leaks from the tub area, visible cracks or warping, persistent out-of-balance/spin errors, or internal scraping/grinding noises

• Disconnect power and water; shut off supplies and safely drain remaining water
• This is a major repair—allow time and consider a second person to help lift/support the tub
• Transfer model-specific parts from the original tub to the new tub as needed; reinstall all clamps, bolts, and sensors securely
• After reassembly, level the washer, and run a test cycle to check for leaks

This replacement screw secures appliance components in their proper position. Use it to restore a tight, rattle-free fit when the original fastener is missing, stripped, or corroded. What it does:

• Fastens brackets, panels, or trim to keep assemblies aligned and secure
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and gaps from loose hardware
• Restores proper attachment when a screw is lost, worn, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose panel/handle, misalignment, rattling, or a missing screw

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas before service
• Match location to the original; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; do not overtighten (especially into plastic)
• If the original hole is stripped, repair threads before installing the new screw

This is the front bulkhead panel that forms the front wall of the dryer drum opening. It provides structural support for the drum and typically includes the felt seal and bearing surfaces that allow the drum to rotate smoothly. Replace this assembly if the front panel is cracked, warped, or worn, or if you notice excessive noise, drum wobble, or clothes getting caught between the drum and the front panel.

Metal mounting bracket that secures internal dryer components to the frame. Replace if cracked, bent, or broken to restore proper alignment and stability.
