Dlgx5501v Parts

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.

This duct assembly channels airflow inside the appliance to guide exhaust and internal air between components. Replacing a damaged or obstructed duct helps restore proper airflow and can reduce poor performance or long cycles. What it does:

• Directs exhaust and circulation air between internal components to maintain airflow
• Prevents leaks that can reduce efficiency or cause longer cycle times
• Helps avoid overheating or moisture build-up from restricted airflow
• Reduces rattling or vibration caused by a cracked or loose duct

• Disconnect power (and turn off gas supply for gas appliances) before beginning work.
• Handle edges carefully — sheet metal can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves.
• Ensure duct is seated and fastened to create a tight seal where it connects to other components.
• After reassembly, run a test cycle to confirm airflow and proper operation.

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.

The Gas Burner Valve Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG gas dryers. It is a component located beneath the gas burner that controls the flow of fuel to ignite and maintain the flame. The valve assembly receives ignition and temperature signals from the dryer's control system to precisely regulate gas levels throughout drying cycles. This gas dryer burner valve includes two solenoid coils.

Causes of a faulty gas valve may involve wear over extended operation, mineral buildup on valve seats, or mechanical issues restricting gas flow at desired levels.

Symptoms of a bad gas burner valve assembly consist of:

• Erratic or inconsistent burner ignition between cycles
• Inability to achieve high heat settings when needed
• Burners not maintaining steady flame patterns
• Potential gas leaks detected around valves or tubing

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

This dryer duct assembly channels air from the drum to the blower and exhaust. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper airflow, helps prevent lint bypass, and supports consistent drying performance.

• Directs and seals airflow between the drum and blower housing
• Helps maintain drying efficiency by minimizing leaks and lint bypass
• Damage or warping can lead to long dry times and reduced airflow
• Signs of failure include visible cracks, melted spots, or air/lint leakage around the duct area

• Disconnect power; for gas models, turn off the gas supply
• Access from the front by removing the top and front panel
• Note fastener locations and any attached brackets/harnesses, then transfer them to the new assembly
• Vacuum lint from internal ducting and verify seals before test run

The Tub Assembly is an OEM component for LG clothes dryers. As the central component housing both the inner and outer drums, the tub assembly is essential for safely drying wet laundry loads. It rotates the drums to circulate air and remove moisture from clothes during cycles. 

Causes of a bad tub assembly dryer can include cracks, leaks, or damage to the drum structure from excessive use or unbalanced loads over time. Wear and tear on rotating or suspension components that impair rotation. 

Symptoms of an issue with the tub assembly dryer are:

• Inefficient or slow drying times 
• Abnormal noises or vibrations during cycles
• Restricted or lack of drum rotation
• Cracks, leaks, or physical damage visible on drums

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

This inlet hose carries water from your home's supply line into the appliance. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or leaking hose restores proper water flow and helps prevent leaks and fill-related errors.

• Connects the household water supply to the unit's fill circuit
• Provides a sealed path for incoming water
• Damage can cause leaks, restricted flow, or fill errors
• Common signs: slow/no fill, visible leaks, kinks, bulges, or brittle tubing

• Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply before service.
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water; relieve line pressure before disconnecting.
• Route the new hose without sharp bends; hand-start threads, then snug—do not overtighten.
• Restore water and power; check all connections for leaks.

Replacement interior lamp assembly that restores illumination inside your refrigerator so you can see food and shelves clearly. Replaces worn or damaged light units to improve visibility and normal operation. What it does:

• Provides interior lighting so you can find items and check contents easily
• Replaces lamps that are burned out, dim, flickering, or physically damaged
• Sits in the appliance's existing lamp housing and works with the factory socket
• Helps maintain safe visibility when loading, unloading, or organizing the fridge

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Remove food and shelves as needed for safe access to the lamp housing
• Handle the lamp by the housing; avoid touching the light surface or bulb with bare hands

This hole cap is a small trim piece that covers an unused or service access hole to protect the appliance internals and give a finished appearance. It reduces debris entry and minimizes snag points on the cabinet. What it does:

• Covers an unused access or mounting hole in the cabinet or control panel
• Helps keep lint, dust, and moisture out of internal cavities
• Provides a finished look and helps prevent clothing or items from catching
• Simple snap-in design for a secure fit

• One hole cap

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing panels or openings
• Typically snaps into place from the outer side of the panel; a small flat tool can help with removal
• Do not force or pry excessively to avoid cracking the cap or panel
• If the cap does not seat securely, check correct part and seating orientation before applying pressure
