Charmaine Smith March 30, 2020 for Model Number DLEX2650R My LG Dryer, 6 years old, won't stop running, even when it's off. Tried the unplug, turn off the circuit and hold the buttons stuff - didn't work. Probably the PCB from reading. Is this the correct part to order for this: Part Number: AP5306775?
Judith Ritner November 19, 2017 for Model Number DLEX3250W I woke this morning and my dryer was still running from last night. No heat, but can not get it to stop unless I open the door or unplug the electricity. What part do I need and are there instructions for replacing the part?
1 Answer Judith, With the dryer not shutting off this issue will most likely be caused by a faulty main control board. Read More...
Penny May 15, 2017 for Model Number LG DLEY1201V The drum keeps spinning after the dryer shuts off, there is no heat or control panel running. I can turn the panel back on but it still spins. This has happened before and the only way to make it stop is to unplug the dryer. Now it happened again and I unplugged it over night and when I plug it back in it starts up again. When you unplug the dryer it plays the finish chime for 2 secs and quits. Any suggestions.
1 Answer Penny, You most likely have a "stuck" motor relay on the main control board. The internal contacts are stuck together and supplying constant power to the motor, making the motor run, whenever power is applied to the dryer. Read More...
Keith January 21, 2017 for Model Number dle2516w I have an LG dryer. When it originally turns on it has heat but after a couple minutes no heat. Checked the thermal overload, check the high thermostat, check the heat element, checked power to machine and the thermistor. All those items checked out good. It brings me to the control board any suggestions
1 Answer Hello Keith. If everything checks out good, then the only thing left is the board. It sounds like your on the correct path. Read More...
Tracy April 04, 2016 for Model Number LG DLE3050W My LG DLE3050W dryer works but won't stop spinning after it's done. The only way to make it stop is to open the door and/or unplug it. The display will count all the way down and then turn off and the heat will stop, but the drum will continue to spin. The moment I close the door it will start to spin again, and if I push the power button the display will turn on and I can select a program. If I press the start button it will begin to heat and work like normal until it's done and the display turns off yet the drum is still spinning.
1 Answer Tracy, With the unit not stopping when it reaches off, then the cause would be a stuck relay on the control board which is part number CSP30104801. Read More...
John B November 20, 2015 for Model Number DLE0442W I have an electric dryer (LG model DLE0442W), about 5 or 6 years old, that will occasionally continue to run, even after the power switch is turned off and all panel lights go out. It will stop when the door is opened. Unplugged the unit for a couple hours, and it starts right back up again when you plug it back in, even with the panel lights still off. This happened about 3 or 4 months ago for the first time, and then again today. So, both times, I plugged it back in again, and, while it was running, went through the motions to start a load of clothes - hit the power button (which turned on the panel lights), then selected the 'Normal' cycle, and then hit the button to start drying. After about a minute, I hit the cycle button again to pause the dryer, and it worked from then on out, as if somehow going through the motions reset the "computer" or something. Power button now turns the unit off, too. And the dryer heat works as well. Trying to determine if the problem is the main PCB? I'm sure it will happen again.
1 Answer John, While it is possible to have the relay sticking on the control board, you will also want to check the motor to make sure that there is not heavy lint build up around it. If there is then the centrifugal switch could be sticking on the motor. If heavy lint build up then clean it out and if the issue happens again then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
