Mak July 02, 2024 for Model Number DLE2240S I’m told part number 5301EL1001A is the correct one, but it’s discontinued, what is a suitable replacement ? I’m being told there is no replacement. But I’m thinking maybe 5301EL1001H is acceptable?
1 Answer Mak, unfortunately, we would not be able to recommend an alternative from the manufacturer-recommended heater assembly 5301EL1001A. However, the manufacturer-recommended heater assembly currently shows as still being in production. Read More...
R. Stein June 21, 2024 for Model Number LG DLE3400W The machne is only 2 years old. When using high heat to dry towels after about a few minute the 30 amp fuse blows. The machine runs on 2 (30 amp) fuses and shows an error message and doesn't dry. Only the fuse for the heating element trips. The machine continues to tumble, but does not dry the clothes. If you use the dryer on Med. or low heat there is not a problem, and the clothes dry. Is the problem with the heating element, the thermostat, or the heat sensor? One plumber told me there are a lot of issues with LG dryers lately.
1 Answer R. Stein, the heating element 5301EL1001H would need to be tested for resistance to identify if it may be drawing excessive current. Each heating coil should measure 10 Ohms. If the resistance measures good, the next step would be testing each terminal for continuity to the shell. If there is continuity, or the resistance failed, the element would need to be replaced.

David June 21, 2024 for Model Number DLEX5170W I got the element for my dryer. My old thermostat has three spade connections the new one came with only 2 spade connection on the thermostat. The new element came with a white jumper going from the thermostat to thr ima fuse,and and a red from it to one of three for the element. I know that the red wire from the dryer go’s on the thermostat but I’m left with a white wire coming from the dryer, decause the new thermostat has only 2 connections,and my old one has three.so what do I do with the extra white wire coming from the dryer?
1 Answer Hello David, thank you for contacting APP, There are 2 thermostats on the Heating Element, the Hi-Limit Thermal Fuse 6931EL3003D will only have 2 terminals on it, and the Thermostat Assembly 6931EL3001F will have 3 terminals on it. From the description you have given, you will need the Thermostat Assembly 6931EL3001F. Read More...
Christopher August 21, 2023 for Model Number 919KWYP00210 LG Dryer Did a large load, no prob. Next load, no heat. No heat since, on any setting. No clogged exhaust. Does the heating assembly come with ? It appears that there are 3 attached sensors. Im trying to kill a few possibilities with one part. What else could be needed?? Thermistor? Relay? Whats all included in the entire new assembly? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Christopher, please repost your question after checking the model number as the one given does not show as a valid model number. Read More...
Steve August 03, 2023 for Model Number DLE5955W I just replaced the high limit thermostat and the blower thermostat and the dryer ran for several days drying the clothes. Yesterday, it ran but there was no heat. Do I need to test the heater unit for the 20/20/40 ohms? I tested continuity on all three lines to the heater and they showed continuity. Is there something that would cause the dryer to blow the high limit thermostat? When I replaced the old high limit it was showing no continuity.
1 Answer Hello Steve, typically an over-temp condition occurred, which can be caused by a shorted/grounded heater element or a sticking control board heater relay. Read More...

Kn October 11, 2022 for Model Number DLE1001f I have a older lg cnnot find heating element for this specific model. Is there one that is compatible
Christopher March 22, 2022 for Model Number DLEX5780VE My LG dryer doesn't produce heat anymore so I looked for a heating element with the dryers model number and was directed to the heating assembly page, (my mistake, I see now there isn't a heating element) which I'm grateful for and wish to purchase immediately, however my Q is, can I be sure this is the problem part I need to replace or might there be another part to consider, and if answerable, how can I find out which part is the problem? Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Christopher, You can test to see if there is 240 Vac getting to the heater and if there is then the heater assembly will be the issue. It could be just a bad thermostat which can be tested for continuity or a faulty control board or motor as well. Read More...
Alex January 01, 2022 for Model Number DLEX7177SM Hi, folks. Replacing what I thought was a burnt out heater (5301EL1001A) on my dryer due to no heat. All thermistors and thermostats are to spec) tested everything else and all is fine, but measured the resistance between the heater terminals and it comes to 20/20/40 Ohm instead of the spec sheet calling for 10/10/20 Ohm on one page and 18-22/18-22/9-11 Ohm on the other page of the same document (thanks, LG!). Problem is - my brand new part measures 20/20/40 Ohm. I still installed it to test it out, but no luck. What gives? Thanks! PS: going crazy here - tested the centrifugal switch on the motor, all thermistors, all thermostats, rung the circuits all the way through, verified relays closing on the main PCB. The darn thing still won't fire up the heater.
1 Answer Alex, as long as the meter has been verified as being good in calibration, the heater would be outside of tolerance. In regards to the no heat, the excessive resistance should not stop it from heating for testing purposes. It would be recommended that the dryer power cord terminal block is tested for 240VAC to ensure proper voltage is reaching the dryer. If there is, the next step would be to test the main control heater relays from the incoming wire to the outgoing wire while the dryer is operating. If the either relay shows 240VAC when the dryer is on normal heat, the relay has failed and the main control would need to be replaced. If the voltage reads 0VAC on both, the main control is good and the failure would either be a broken wire or a failed centrifugal switch. Read More...
Trent September 09, 2021 for Model Number 79681379210 I ordered heating element 5301el1001h and was sent 5301el1001s. Are these compatible?
