Gordon January 16, 2018 for Model Number WM2301HW I need to know what a healthy one of these looks and sounds like during operation. In the back where the motor is it makes a kind of rumbling, shuddering like it wants to stop or is having trouble, but I had another one that sounded weird. Not like this, but it was topload LG direct drive, this is front. Also having trouble with ce and of errors so I need a parts testing instruction list. I've got a list like that saved for another model.
1 Answer Gordon, Based on the model, this is not showing a ce or OF error code. You will want to get the tech sheet from in the unit and will need to see if it shows these error codes but would suggest testing the motor to make sure that the rps sensor or the motor is not faulty. Read More...
Gary Baker March 16, 2017 for Model Number Lg dryer Main board EBR36858801 does not light up appearing Dead
1 Answer Gary, You will wan to test for 120 vac to the main control board. If there is power to the main board and the display will not light up then check the wiring between the main board and the display board. If this checks ok then you will want to replace the display board on the unit. Read More...
John A. March 13, 2017 for Model Number DLE5955W "Dryer COOLING" light stays on. Dryer will not heat. I've checked and replaced thermal fuse. I also checked the heating element, continuity test said it was ok. I replaced PCB control board. The dryer now makes sounds when changing dryer settings, but cooling light is still on. What else can I do?
1 Answer Hello John, You will need to test the thermistor 6323EL2001B for about 11.7O at about 70°F. If this tests good, the control EBR36858801 still has an issue. Read More...
John March 11, 2017 for Model Number LG TROMM DLE5955W Cooling light stays on, no heat to dryer. I tested and changed out thermal fuse. Tested heating element and it checks out ok according to directions. Exhaust is clean and clear. changed PCB board, still no heat and cooling light stays on. Even though continuity check on heating element shows it is ok, maybe i need to send back the PCB board and get a new heating element? i'm getting pretty good and taking this dryer apart, but am ready for it to work.
1 Answer John, You will want to check the wiring between the moisture sensor bars and the control board to make sure that there is no loose or damaged wire which will cause this issue. Read More...
Jeff January 30, 2016 for Model Number LG DLE2301R The dryer is running, timer is working and it is drying however the digital display and button lights are intermittently flickering bright to dim. I took the top off hoping to find a loose connection on the board but nothing. I'm guessing that it could be the User Control and Display Board EBR36858901 or the Main Control Board EBR36858801 or possibly something I could have overlooked which (hopefully) wouldn't involve a new part. Any help would be appreciated
1 Answer Jeff, The most likely cause for this issue would be a faulty display board EBR36858901. Read More...
Steve April 23, 2015 for Model Number LGR7646EQ3 LG DLE5955W electric dryer - Cooling indicator was on solid and no heat from the dryer. Pulled the thermal fuse and tested with a multimeter and it was bad. Ordered and replaced the thermal fuse. Dryer then generated heat, but the cooling light was still on. Dryer ran for a short while (one load), and then the thermal fuse blew again. Replaced the thermal fuse, along with all other temp reading components (thermostat, high temp thermostat, and thermistor) in case one of those was not regulating the temp appropriately. Turned dryer on and again heat is generated, but cooling light is still on. Turned it off this time before blowing another thermal fuse. Does this mean that the control board is bad? Is there any way to test the control board before I invest in swapping that expensive part out?
1 Answer Steve, The first thing that you will want to do is check the venting of the unit from the blower wheel to the outside of your home to make sure there is no clog or blockage in it. If there is then it would need to be cleaned out as this would be the cause for blowing a thermal fuse. If the venting checks ok then it would be a bad control board. Read More...
Nick August 01, 2014 for Model Number DLE5955G After pushing the power button, selecting the cycle, and start, the dryer start and runs for 1-2 seconds then shuts off. The display and indicator lights also shut off. These steps continue to happen.
1 Answer Hello Nick, You should first verify voltage and polarity at the wall outlet. These are very important to an electronic control. If the checks out good, you will need to open the unit and check the Main PCB Assembly EBR36858801 for proper power input, (120Vac). The Main PCB is the part in question. Read More...
Scott November 25, 2013 for Model Number DLG5966W The dryer works fine, but the "etimated time reamaining display" does not display the time properly. The left and right sides of the numbers illuminate, but not the center - an 8 looks like to vertical lines. Is EBR36858901 the correct part? Is there any way I can test/diagnose it to be sure? What is your return policy if the part doesn't correct the problem?
1 Answer Hello Scott. Yes, the display board should fix the issue based on the information you provided.. However, if it does not you can return the board. Here is a link to help you. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/returns.aspx Read More...
Michelle May 24, 2013 for Model Number lg dle2101w Dryer was working fine, opened dryer in middle of cycle to get something out. Closed the door and went to start it back up and nothing, no lights, nothing works, won't turn on at all. Would this be my Pcb board? Thanks!
1 Answer Michelle, Your first check needs to be at the breaker box. Being an electric dryer, make sure both 30 amp breakers are reset and locked in place(reset both breakers several times). Then check the terminal block and line cord for loose connections, the check or replace the control board. Read More...
Michael May 22, 2013 for Model Number DLEX3360V Dryer powered on, let me select cycle, press start, dryer started but immediately turned off. After this occurred 2-3 times, dryer will not turn on. Door light does not light. Power outlet test ok. I do not have 120v between neutral and black wire at terminal block. Would this be the main PCB?
1 Answer Hello Michael. It sounds like there is a power issue coming to the unit if there is not 120 volts between black and white. You need to check the breaker and outlet for the unit. Read More...
