Jerry September 20, 2022 for Model Number DLEX5780WE Dryer works fine, however, the drum light is not working. I have replaced the light with a new one with no success. It appears the door switch may be bad. Does the door switch allow power to go to the drum and all other functions for drying, as well as to the light? I do not see any separate light switch per se. The video shows the door switch being removed from the front of the cabinet. It appears that I need to take the top off of my model of dryer in order to gain access to the switch. Is this correct?
1 Answer Jerry, the door switch EBF61496102 will complete the circuit to the lamp when the door is open and would be a likely cause of failure. The removal process of the door switch for this model will be the same as it is in the repair video found on the part information page. Read More...
Brian June 19, 2020 for Model Number DLEX3001R Dryer turns on, you select cycle and hit start "nothing happens". lights stay lit doesn't heat or spin. Ran diagnostic and when you get to second step it says close door. The door is closed. I open and shut door and tried again same thing. Would this be a door switch that is bad or a control board or ???? Thanks Brian
1 Answer Brian, This issue would either be caused by a faulty door switch or the control board is faulty. You will test the door switch for continuity. If it has continuity then the switch is good and the control board is faulty and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Arlen May 11, 2020 for Model Number DLEX5170W Dryer will not stop running unless I open the door and make sure the door switch is extended. I see others with the dryer not running do to the switch but mine won't shut off. Will a new switch solve this problem?
1 Answer Arlen, The dryer not shutting off would most likely be caused by a stuck relay on the control board which will be part number EBR62707659. Read More...
Ken November 30, 2019 for Model Number DLEX7177RM Light comes on when door is open. Light goes off when door closes but will not start or click. No lights on board at all. Door switch? Thanks
1 Answer Ken, Make sure the belt has not broke, Also, you will want to make sure the control is sending voltage to the motor. With no lights at the control, you also need to check your power supply. The breaker could have tripped halfway and even though the light comes on inside the control may not be receiving power. It is best to test for 240 VAC at the back of the dryer where the power cord comes into the unit. Read More...

Daniel W December 09, 2017 for Model Number LG DLEX7177WM When disassembling my LG dryer I cannot unplug the door switch assembly. The part number is 6601EL3001A. In all the videos they unplug easily. I have ruined one switch already. Any help would be appreciated.
1 Answer Daniel, To remove the wires from the door switch you would just pull it straight out. There it may be tight but if you hold the sides of the switch is should come. Read More...
