David September 13, 2023 for Model Number DLE2101W After a power surge the dryer will not turn on at all. Is there an internal fuse I can replace?
1 Answer David, Using a multimeter check for 240vac to the terminal block on the back of the dryer, then use the tech sheet/wiring diagram and the multimeter to see if there is power into the control board. Read More...
Stew Miller January 09, 2021 for Model Number DLE2301W after i push the power button the cycle selector lites up as normal but when i turn the selector to select the cycle all of the lites remain on. if i try to run a manuel selection nothing happens . if i push the start button nothing happens. i already replaced the door switch and thought it was fixed but the next time my wife tried it did the same thing WILL NOT START
1 Answer Stew, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board with all the selector lights being lit. Read More...
Glenda December 06, 2020 for Model Number 79691072310 Kenmore elite 79691072310 powers on, press start, and only a beep recognizing it should engage the drum, and heat. Nothing happens. Door latch okay, not sure what to check next.
1 Answer Hello Glenda, you would need to access the dryer interior and using a multimeter check the door switch, thermal limiter, belt switch. If all check ok the main power board would need to be checkered that it is sending 120v to the drive motor. Read More...
Ian April 19, 2020 for Model Number LG - DLEX3250W The Dryer runs as soon as I close the dryer door. Open the door and it stops. Seems like the start switch is not connecting with the dryer door stop. Witch one needs replacing? The Start switch seems to be working fine and will power up and down the control panel. The control will count down fine and shuts off at the end but the dryer continues to run until the door is opened. Any comment will be helpful. Best Regards, Ian Greig
1 Answer Hello Ian, the motor run relay on the control board is stuck closed, the repair will be a new control board EBR76542917. Read More...
Joel February 29, 2020 for Model Number DLEX2650W I have an LG DLEX2650W. I recently hit he power button, selected my cycle, and went to hit the start button and when I hit it, everything powers down and shuts off. Seems like a start switch or a short somewhere. I thought it was the thermostat thermal fuse, but I replaced that and it does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Joel, based on the information provided, it sounds like the main control EBR62707629 is dropping the voltage supply to the display and not activating the relays properly. With this in mind, it is recommended that the wires are inspected for any bare wires that may ground out going to the motor and the heater. If there are no grounded wires, then the issue would most likely be the main control. Read More...
Jason January 14, 2020 for Model Number DLG2302R I have serviced my LG (DLG2302R) dryer many times already and am very familiar with it. Recently, one of the drum rollers went out. It started screeching, and finally seized up. After replacing the rollers, when I try to start it, it doesn't do anything. Totally quiet... as if the motor is burned up from the seized roller. Hoping you can tell me what to check before buying a new motor. Thank you.
1 Answer Jason, the belt switch EBF61734701 would need to be tested to identify if it has gotten stuck in the open position. With the power cord to the unit unplugged, the switch would be tested for continuity when the idler arm is up (idler arm can not be on the switch). The switch should have continuity, and if it doesn't, it would need to be replaced. If it tests good, then the blower thermostat 6931EL3002M would need to be tested for continuity and replaced if it does not have continuity. If those check good, then the unit will need to be inspected for any loose wires. The last check would be a voltage check at the main control once everything is put back together. With the unit on, the voltage to the motor would need to be tested at the brown wire for 120VAC. If there is 120VAC, then the motor 4681EL1008A would need to be replaced. If there is not 120VAC, then the main control EBR36858802 would need to be replaced. Read More...
Dianah July 06, 2018 for Model Number DLE5977S Dryer just decided not to turn on today. took it apart and found the micro switch little black on the metal but otherwise everything looks ok
1 Answer Diana, start by checking to make sure you have 240 volts going to the dryer, next check the door switch, the drum belt switch, and the thermal fuse located on the rear of the blower housing. If these all check ok, there should be a diagnostic sheet on the dryer to allow you to check for error codes. Read More...
Peter September 14, 2014 for Model Number dlg3788w Hello I have an lg dryer that recently just didn't heat up anymore, so I try to fix it. First I thought it would of been my igniter that was broken. It turn out its fine. Next I replaced the high limit thermo, and also the regular themo too. The inside is clean up from dust and lint. Now this is the problem that I can't seem to solve. My dryer would start up and dry 1 full load of clothing. Shortly after I would load a second load of clothes. But this time it start n turn like usual, but without heat this time. I have to take apart and press the reset button on one of the thermostat. What I can't figure out is why it keep repeating this over n over. After one load it stop heating until I reset the thermo, then it works 1 load then stop. Please let me know what part is causing this drama, because I already replaced 3 things that still works.
1 Answer Peter, With the thermostat having to be reset after one load of laundry, the first thing that you will want to check would be the dryer venting that goes from the blower wheel to the outside of the home to ensure that there is no blockage. If the vent is restricted or blocked it will cause the thermal fuse to trip. Read More...
Doc September 11, 2014 for Model Number DLE3733U I have an LG DLE3733U dryer. it seems to get very hot and shuts off. the electronics will not come on until cooled down. i have the vent straight through so not even a bend to make sure thats not the issue. I have just replaced all 6 sensors in this dryer. 1-Hi limit therm.(AP4440975) 1- therm assembly.(AP4440977). 2- moisture sensors (AP4445128). 1- thermistor Assembly (AP4441539). 1- therm. assembly AP4440976. I replaced all of them just because I really only wanted to disassemble the dryer one time. Im not sure what else is causing this. The vent does seem to get really hot but figured it should. Can you advise. Thank you for your response.
1 Answer Doc, Even though the vent is straight with no bends you will want to check the outside to make sure that the vent is opening and that there is no lint clogged in it which will cause the unit to overheat. The only other thing would be is if there is stuff wrapped around the blower wheel. Read More...
Homeowner September 18, 2011 for Model Number DLE5977W What function does the Microswitch (Part# AP4437702) serve. Is this the motor capacitator previous threads talk about? My dryer won't turn (only hums) but drum turns freely. Is the capacitator internal to the motor? Do I have to remove the drum to access the motor?
1 Answer Hello Homeowner. No, the micro-switch 3W40025D is to see if the belt breaks, it shuts off the dryer. The motor switch is made into the motor assembly 4681EL1008A. You will need to order the motor to repair the problem with the switch. Hope this helps. Read More...
