Jeff May 29, 2015 for Model Number LG Gas Dryer DLG7188RM My dryer does heat but takes 3 times longer to dry than before. We have cleaned the vent, even run a cycle disconnected from the vent pipe. We have had the Gas Company check the gas supply coming to the dryer and it is adequate. We have not checked any thermostats as yet, if you think that a thermostat could be the problem, would you tell me how to determine if a thermostat is good or bad. Thanks,
1 Answer Jeff, A thermostat would be the most likely be the cause for this issue and you would use a multimeter to test for continuity. The other thing it could be would be a thermistor issue in which the thermistor can be tested for resistance. Read More...
Jason August 08, 2013 for Model Number Lg dle2516 electric I have replaced the temp fuse on the blower housing and both of the ones on the heating box thinking it would solve my issue where my dryer will not turn on but it has power to the light. Is there anything else I should look for?
1 Answer Hello Jason. Check for a bad door switch, broken belt, and bad control board. Either will cause the issue you are having with the unit. Read More...
Eric May 22, 2013 for Model Number LG DLE5932W Hi, My dryer was working but wihtout heat ... Diagnose, hi-limit thermostat open, bought it from your site, great service! Dryer restarted drying ... for one cycle and again the same hi limit thermostat openned. I checked the Thermistor and i'm getting the 10 ohms. What should be my next debug, the thermostat on the blower ? I'm reading it as open right now? How can I test this guy ?
1 Answer Hello Eric. It sounds like there is a venting issue causing the unit to blow. Check the blower wheel and all the venting on the unit. If all is good, then you need to see if the heater is cycling on and off. If not, replace the main board on the unit. Read More...
William March 04, 2013 for Model Number dle2516w Dryer heats up okay but takes 2 or 3 cycles to dry any clothes no matter what setting I use. Also the vent is totaly clean.
1 Answer Hello William. If the unit is heating, then you have an air flow issue. Check the blower wheel and the air duct inside the unit for clogs. Read More...
Matt F. January 01, 2012 for Model Number DLE5977W My LG dryer's cooling light stays on no matter what cycle I run it on. I just replaced the main control panel and ran it with the vent tube disconnected and the same thing is happening. It is getting warm but it take two cycles to dry clothes. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. LG DLE5977W
1 Answer Hi Matt. You may have a shorted heating element that is only partially heating. The element part # is 5301EL1001J. Check the thermistor that is by the back of the blower hsg. It should read 10 Ohms at room temperature. Check all your thermostats for clos or 5 ohms or less. Thank You. Read More...
