Kelly June 09, 2014 for Model Number DLE7177WM My LG Tromm dryer runs, but stopped drying. About 1 month ago, I replaced the Hi-Limit Thermostat that I purchased from your site. Dryer worked great, but now not drying again. Should I buy the whole heater assembly or could it be something else?
1 Answer Hello Kelly. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff and that you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Glen April 21, 2014 for Model Number DLE0332W The heating unit I have in a LG DLEO332W dryer is a 5301EL1001A and according to the Cross Reference Information 5301EL1001J is compatible or the current model. On the “J” unit the High Limit Thermostat has two posts for the white wire, where the “A” unit only has one post. Do you leave the second posts on the “J” unit open since there is not a second wire to attach?
1 Answer Hello Glen. Yes, leave open where the white wire is, but you must attach to the other terminal on the high limit with the single wire. Read More...
Bob March 03, 2014 for Model Number DLE0332W Does the dryer heater assembly (AP4439759) ship with the thermostats installed or are they purchased separately?

Steve A January 19, 2014 for Model Number L G Tromm dle3777w Lint build up started to burn. Disassembled dryer cleaned. Motor will not turn tube and I still smell burning. What parts should I order.
1 Answer Steve, You will want to check the dryer belt and make sure that the belt is not damaged. Check the rollers to make sure that they are turning freely. These things can cause the drum to not turn even though the units motor is turning. Read More...
C.N. December 31, 2013 for Model Number LG DLE5977 The "Cooling" light on the front control panel remains ON throughout the drying cycle regardless of which cycle I am running. I almost always use the "LOW" temp setting and therefore expect drying times to be longer than usual, but I have not noticed any increase in drying times since this light started coming on and remaining on.
1 Answer Hello C.N., Take the resistance reading of the thermistor 6323EL2001B. It should read 10O at 58°F as per LG. If it reads good, you will need to replace the control board 6871EC1115A. Read More...
Mike November 08, 2013 for Model Number 796.81532210 I just replaced the front thermostat on the heater assembly, the dryer ran fine for one load the quit again. I have checked the dryer vent pipe and all internal passages for obstructions and found none. I checked the thermostat in the blower housing along with the thermocouple in the blower housing, both seem to be ok with 10 ohms. I also checked the rear cycling switch in the heater housing. I am unable to tell what temperature it switches at but it seems to have continuity after it switches for a second or two in both directions (on and off), before it breaks connection. Is that the cause for overheating and blowing the front thermostat? Is there anything else to check? I have already ordered a new front thermostat and cycling switch to try out.
1 Answer Hello Mike. If the cycling thermostat does not fix it, either the heater is grounded or the board is bad on the unit. Read More...
Mel B April 01, 2013 In looking at heating element on whirlpool dryer I noticed that only top half of elements seem to glow hot. Bottom haves don't glow hot. What would cause this. Friend says it takes longer to dry items.

Kim March 26, 2013 for Model Number lg dle2301r Replaced front high limit thermostat worked for a week and blew again. Checked all venting and there is no air flow issue. Could it be the rear thermostat making the front one blow?
1 Answer Hello Kim. You will need to check and see if the heater is over heating and causing the issues with the unit. If so, the cycling thermostat on the unit may need to be replaced. Read More...
