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 Dryer Thermistor is an OEM part for LG dryers, designed to monitor and help regulate the temperature within the dryer by providing feedback to the control board about the temperature inside the drum. This allows the dryer to adjust its heat settings accordingly, preventing overheating and ensuring clothes are dried evenly and safely.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermistor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking longer than usual to dry.
• The dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle.
• Error messages appearing on the dryer's display panel.
• The dryer getting too hot or not heating enough.

Causes of a bad Dryer Thermistor can include a buildup of lint and debris affecting its ability to accurately sense temperature, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues within the dryer's circuitry.

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

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.

Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components. 

Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:

• The dryer drum fails to turn, even though the dryer powers on.
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during cycles or won't start at all.
• Decreased drying efficiency or clothes taking longer to dry due to inconsistent drum speed.

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

The Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It ensures the dryer operates only when the door is securely closed, acting as a safety feature to prevent the dryer from running while the door is open.

Causes of a bad door switch assembly can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues such as shorts or faulty connections, or physical damage from forceful door closures or impacts.

Symptoms of a bad door switch assembly include:

• The dryer not starting
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle
• The drum light not turning on or off correctly
• The dryer continuing to run with the door open

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

The Dryer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for LG dryers. This baffle is attached to the inside of the dryer drum and is designed to help lift and tumble clothes during the drying cycle. 

Causes of a bad dryer drum baffle can include wear and tear from regular use, physical damage from heavy or sharp objects, or becoming loose due to vibration over time. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum baffle include:

• Thumping or banging noises during the drying cycle
• Clothes not tumbling properly, leading to uneven drying
• Loose or rattling baffle inside the drum
• Visible damage or breakage on the baffle

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

This washer tub assembly is the stationary outer tub that surrounds the spin basket and contains the wash water. Replacing a cracked or damaged tub helps stop leaks and restores proper clearance for smooth, quiet washing and spinning.

• Creates a watertight chamber around the basket to hold wash and rinse water
• Maintains proper basket clearance; damage can cause rubbing or scraping sounds
• Provides connection points for hoses and water-level components
• Common signs it may be needed: leaks from the tub area, visible cracks or warping, persistent out-of-balance/spin errors, or internal scraping/grinding noises

• Disconnect power and water; shut off supplies and safely drain remaining water
• This is a major repair—allow time and consider a second person to help lift/support the tub
• Transfer model-specific parts from the original tub to the new tub as needed; reinstall all clamps, bolts, and sensors securely
• After reassembly, level the washer, and run a test cycle to check for leaks

This tub assembly is the main inner drum that holds clothes and spins during the wash and spin cycles, restoring a smooth, balanced wash performance when the original drum is damaged. Designed to replace a worn, cracked, or dented drum to help reduce noise and prevent fabric damage. What it does:
