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.

Note: Does not include moisture sensor bars. For the moisture sensor bars, order 2 of part# 6500EL3001A.

Symptoms of a bad Guide Cover include:

• Increased drying times due to poor airflow.
• Unusual noises from lint hitting the fan or other components.
• Overheating of the dryer.
• Visible damage or misalignment of the cover that affects performance.

The Drum Seal is an OEM part for LG dryers. This part ensures a tight seal between the dryer drum and the dryer body, preventing hot air from escaping and maintaining the efficiency of the drying process. A well-functioning drum seal is important for the best dryer performance, contributing to energy efficiency and the prevention of unnecessary wear on clothing during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad drum seal can range from natural wear and tear over time to overloading the dryer, which can strain and stretch the seal, leading to a poor fit.  

Symptoms of a bad Drum Seal include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry
