Lg Dryer DLE5977BM 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 Dryer Lint Filter is an OEM part for LG dryers. It is designed to capture lint and debris from clothes during the drying cycle, helping to prevent these particles from clogging the dryer vent. This filter is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your dryer, as a clean lint filter reduces the risk of fires and ensures that the appliance operates at optimal performance levels.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Lint Filter include:

• Excessive lint accumulation outside the filter area, indicating a tear or hole in the filter.
• Reduced drying efficiency, with clothes taking longer to dry or feeling damp after a complete cycle.
• Noticeable wear or damage to the filter, such as fraying or holes.

Causes of a bad dryer lint filter can include regular wear and tear from usage, accumulation of fabric softener which can clog the mesh, or physical damage from removing or cleaning the filter improperly.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore, ensuring it fits a wide range of dryer models within these brands.

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.

The Thermostat Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It functions as a crucial safety feature by monitoring and regulating the temperature within the dryer. This assembly ensures that the dryer operates within a safe temperature range, preventing overheating that can lead to appliance damage or fire hazards.

Symptoms of a failing thermostat assembly include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking longer than usual to dry.
• The dryer repeatedly shutting off during a cycle.
• Excessive heat generation, making the surface of the dryer unusually hot.

The common causes of issues with the thermostat assembly include lint build-up that restricts airflow, a malfunction in the heating system that causes irregular temperature fluctuations, or simple wear and tear from regular use. A faulty thermostat can result in unregulated heat levels, so timely replacement is essential for safety and efficiency.

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