Lg Dryer DLE5001W Doesn't shut off

The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for LG dryers. This part circulates air through the dryer drum and out the exhaust vent, ensuring proper airflow for efficient drying of clothes.

Causes of a bad blower wheel can include accumulation of lint and debris, wear and tear over time, or physical damage due to foreign objects entering the blower housing.  

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Reduced or no airflow from the exhaust vent
• Unusual noises such as rattling or squealing during the drying cycle
• Clothes taking longer to dry or remaining damp
• Overheating or frequent shutdowns of the dryer

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Heater Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. This component is responsible for generating the heat required to dry clothes effectively. It consists of a heating element and necessary components that work together to maintain the desired drying temperature, ensuring clothes come out dry and ready to wear.

Causes of a bad heater assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, overheating, electrical issues, or damage to the heating element itself. A malfunctioning heater assembly can lead to inefficient drying or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad heater assembly include:

• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer producing no heat during cycles
• The dryer shutting off prematurely or not completing cycles
• Unusual smells or burning odors coming from the dryer

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves a critical function in trapping lint and debris from clothes during the drying process. Located in the door or top of the dryer, depending on the model, this filter ensures efficient airflow and heat distribution by preventing lint from clogging the dryer vent. 

These issues typically arise from normal wear and tear or from not regularly cleaning the filter, which can cause it to become brittle or damaged over time.  

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter include:

• Reduced drying efficiency, leading to longer drying times
• Excessive lint or debris escaping into the dryer vent, which can pose a fire risk
• Visible wear or damage to the filter, such as tears or holes, which can allow lint to pass through

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Dryer Moisture Sensor Bar is an OEM part for LG dryers. It plays a critical role in detecting the moisture level of clothes during the drying cycle, enabling the dryer to adjust the drying time automatically. This ensures efficient operation, preventing over-drying, which can damage fabrics and increase energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Moisture Sensor Bar include:

• Clothes remaining damp after a complete drying cycle
• The dryer continually running without stopping
• Inconsistent drying results, with some clothes over-dried and others still wet

Causes of a bad moisture sensor bar can stem from a buildup of lint and fabric softener residue, which insulates the sensor and impairs its ability to accurately detect moisture. Additionally, wear and tear or damage from loading and unloading can affect its functionality.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to ensure that your LG dryer operates efficiently and preserves the life of your clothes.
