Gary August 03, 2024 for Model Number LG Gas Dryer / DLGX4001B / SN:205KWYP04130 Went to use dryer and found tub had standing water, door glass clouded with water vapor and water leaking down front of dryer creating two small puddles beneath closed door. (Have NEVER used steam cycle) Threw in a couple of towels and ran normal cycle. After cycle, water in tub was gone, door and towels were dry, but cold as no heat was produced during cycle. No error codes shown. Everything else on dryer works. Thought maybe igniter, maybe igniter sensor, but worried it may be control board ($$$$). Had recent thunder storm with lots of lightning but have EATON whole-house surge suppressor and GFCI & AFCI breakers. Nothing tripped and all other appliances/plugs work fine. What do you think?
1 Answer Gary, Check the vent and ensure it is not clogged or damaged, and is a full four-inch vent. Poor airflow can cause a lot of condensation in your dryer. After checking and correcting the vent if you still have a no heat issue check for power going to the ignitor when the dryer should be heating. If you have power and it does not glow, the igniter would need to be replaced. If there is no power to the igniter check for power from the control. Read More...
Paul February 12, 2024 for Model Number DLGX3701V Dryer drum rotates, no heat, no lint blockage. Shows an "HS" error code during diagnostic, preparing to replace the humidity sensor but it doesn't appear that a faulty humidity sensor would cause there to be no heat (just an extended drying time). What else should I replace?
1 Answer Paul, Based on the information provided, the no heat could be an element, a thermostat, a control, or a wiring issue. All of these should be ruled out, using a multimeter. However, the HS error does stand for an error with the humidity sensor. Read More...
John November 17, 2021 for Model Number LG DLG 2251 What voltages should appear between red and pink (DC Valve 1) and between pink and white (DC Valve 2) during normal operation? Are the voltages ac or dc?
Shawn July 20, 2020 for Model Number Dlgx3002p The dryer will not heat. No errors. The igniter comes on every minute or so for 10-15 seconds. No gas and no flame. Repeats but never comes on. I suspect it is the flame sensor, the flow chart troubleshooting indicates this as well. Is this 6501EL3001A the correct part.
1 Answer Shawn, it would be recommended that the gas valve solenoids are tested for an outgoing voltage from the main control EBR36858812 (unfortunately, this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer). At connection BL3, the black meter probe would be placed at the red wire and the red probe on the pink wire with the meter set to DC voltage. Once the dryer turns on, there should be 90VDC going to solenoid 1. Once the ignitor starts glowing, switch the red probe to the white wire and there should be 90VDC just as the ignitor starts to kick off. If there is 90VDC, the dryer would need to be turned off and unplugged. The gas valve solenoids 5221EL2002A would then need to be tested for a resistance between 1.5KO to 2.5KO as it is unlikely that the flame sensor would be causing this issue based on the ignitor cycling on and off.

Tim June 11, 2020 for Model Number 79679272000 after cleaning out dryer vent it will come on but the burner will not light. I know I have to replace the igniter (because I broke it) but what about the fuse assembly.
1 Answer Hello Tim, if you are referring to the thermostats on the burner housing , they can be tested with a multimeter and should show continuity. Read More...
Linda C. April 23, 2020 for Model Number LG DLGX8001V I have a LG DLGX8001V propane dryer. It wasn't getting hot so we replaced the ignitor and while we were in there we replaced the thermostat, the high limit thermostat, the burner tube thermostat and the thermistor assembly. Now it gets hot but it smells like propane while it's running. It is also venting propane because we can smell it outside where the dryer is venting. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Linda, you will have to access and recheck the burner area, as it sounds like the dryer burner is not getting complete combustion of the fuel gas. Check the gas valve orifice, placement of the ignitor, the burner tube with the flame spreader, and the burner cone. Read More...
Ryan April 19, 2020 for Model Number DLG2526W Upon start up the ignitor heats up and the gas valve opens up and flame is present for about 8-10 seconds then goes out. The high limit sensor sometimes will trip, but it it doesn't and the dryer is left to cycle the ignitor will energize after about 1 min, then a flame will appear for about 8-10 seconds then goes out. Both coils on the gas valve measure 1.8Kohms. And the high limit thermostat, burner tube thermostat and sensor assembly have continuity while the dryer is off. What could be shutting off the flame?
1 Answer Ryan, This issue would be caused by a faulty gas valve coils which for this model would require a new gas valve. Read More...
Mark October 22, 2019 for Model Number DLG2522W My dryer won't heat. I can see the glow of the igniter from the access port/panel. It glows for 10-15 seconds, then goes out. I replaced the gas burner valve assembly, but still no heat...HELP.
1 Answer Mark, the valves would need to be tested for DC voltage from the main control. From the three-wire BL connector, the black probe of a meter will be placed at the red wire while the red probe of the meter would be used on the pink wires. If the DC voltage is less than 10VDC when the dryer is in operation, then the main control is not sending the voltage necessary to the valves for them to open. If there is 10VDC or more, then there may be a wiring issue that will need to be traced out. Read More...
Steve April 03, 2019 for Model Number DLG4971W DLG4971W The dryer starts . Flame comes on but after a min shuts down, and the dryer just runs with no heat
1 Answer Steve, you may want to test the gas valve coils [5221EL2002A]. Each coil should read between 1.5 to 2.5 KOhms. If they read outside of this measurement, then the valve would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ben J July 14, 2017 for Model Number DLGX3571w When drying clothes using the steam cycle cotton/normal selection, approximately half-way through drying, the dryer will pause itself, chime three times, and stop turning the drum. The drum sill allows for manual maneuvering so I don't think anything is binding that up. No error code is given, and when using the smart diagnostic app on my phone, it can't determine what the issue is. I called LG support, they said "we don't know, you need a service call, want us to set one up for you". They seemed semi cooperative until they found out my unit was only 2.5yrs old. Anyways, I've tried turning the dryer off/on, but it stays on a flashing pause and won't start again. I imagine it might be overheating...but not certain. To temporarily resolve the issue, I've opened the front dryer door and let stand as-is for 30-ish minutes. It does not appear to change with load size, I tried to dry one sheet on a timed 20min dry and it paused with 11 minutes left. The exhaust vent hose, while it has a few dings, is not kinked in anyway, and hasn't been moved since installed new. The air coming out the vent on the outside of home is very strong, and I regularly clean the lint trap with one of those lint-lizard vacuum attachments. Thoughts on possible problems and solutions would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer Ben, With the unit pausing and not starting back up it would be suggested to check for anything that would cause a drag on the motor. Check the rollers, check the blower wheel to make sure that there is nothing caught in it. Read More...
