Parts for Lg LCE3681ST / ASTLLGA: Section 1 Parts

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This truss head tapping screw secures interior panels and small components on compatible appliances, restoring proper fit and stopping rattles or loose trim. It's a direct hardware replacement for a single mounting point. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and trim where a low-profile truss head is required
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause rattling or loose parts
• Provides a secure hold by forming threads in sheet metal during installation
• Useful for repairing cosmetic or functional panel alignment issues

• Disconnect power before working on any appliance to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct sized Phillips or Torx driver to prevent cam-out or screw damage
• Start straight and thread slowly; do not overtighten to avoid stripping sheet metal
• Replace only with the exact part number for best fit and performance

This interface PCB assembly controls the appliance's user interface, allowing buttons and display elements to communicate with the main control board so you can select cycles and view status. Replaces a faulty or unresponsive interface board. What it does:

• Receives input from buttons/touchpad and sends signals to the main control board
• Powers and drives the display or status LEDs for cycle information
• Commonly fixes symptoms like unresponsive controls, blank or garbled display, or erratic interface behavior
• Works as the direct replacement for the appliance's front-panel electronics when the interface is the failure point

• One PCB assembly (interface)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting; risk of electric shock if not powered off
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching components; observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
• Note or photograph connector locations before removing wiring to ensure correct reassembly

A circular lug designed to join a stripped wire to a threaded terminal for a secure electrical connection. Helps restore reliable contact at terminals and reduces the chance of intermittent power or arcing at connection points. What it does:

• Provides a strong mechanical and electrical connection between a wire and a screw or bolt terminal.
• Helps prevent loose connections that can cause intermittent operation, sparking, or overheating.
• Commonly used where a ring-style termination is required for safe, stable wiring.
• Works with properly sized wire and fasteners to maintain consistent conductivity.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Use the correct lug size and gauge for the wire and terminal; crimp or solder per manufacturer recommendations.
• Tighten terminal hardware to the appliance manufacturer's specified torque; avoid over-tightening which can damage the lug or terminal.
• If wiring insulation or the terminal is damaged or corroded, replace the affected components rather than reusing them.

This heater assembly replaces the dryer's heating unit to restore normal drying performance and consistent drum temperatures. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the OEM heater layout and electrical connections. What it does:

• Reheats incoming air so the dryer can remove moisture from clothes.
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostat to maintain operating temperature.
• Commonly used when the dryer produces little or no heat, or runs long cycles.
• Helps resolve intermittent heating caused by a failed heating element or broken heater housing.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Access requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear panel; follow OEM disassembly steps.
• Inspect related parts (thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, wiring, connectors) for damage while replacing the heater.

This idle bracket supports the dryer/tumble assembly's idler pulley so the drive belt stays aligned and tensioned for reliable drum rotation. Replaces a worn or broken bracket to reduce belt slippage and related noise. What it does:

• Secures the idler pulley in the correct position for proper belt tension and tracking
• Prevents belt rubbing, slipping, or premature wear that can cause noisy operation
• Restores stable drum rotation when a cracked or damaged bracket is the cause of belt issues
• Helps maintain correct alignment of the drive belt and pulley system

• Disconnect power (unplug or turn off breaker) before beginning any repair
• Support the drum and/or belt while removing and reinstalling the bracket to avoid misalignment
• Use common hand tools; retain original fasteners unless replacements are specified
• After installation, test the dryer through a short cycle to ensure smooth, quiet operation

This is a radiant surface element for a stove cooktop. This part uses a resistance wire to create heat for cooking meals. It has an exposed wire along the surface where the heat comes from.If the radiant surface element is damaged, it may not heat correctly. Replacing it requires a Phillips screwdriver, pliers, and work gloves. Turn off the power to the range and open up the oven door to pull the cooktop assembly forward. Prop it open for access to the internal components. Remove the screws on the support bracket and remove the radiant surface element. Next, transfer the new component into the stovetop and connect it to all other components. Add power back to the appliance when done.The radiant surface element is sold as a single part. It's a genuine OEM product that is made for ranges manufactured by LG. This part is directly obtained from the manufacturer.

This radiant heater is the oven/stove heating element that provides consistent radiant heat for baking and broiling. Replaces a failed element to restore proper cooking temperatures and even heat across the oven cavity. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into radiant heat used for baking and broiling
• Heats up evenly to maintain oven temperature during cooking cycles
• Commonly replaced when oven fails to heat or heats unevenly
• A solution for visible element damage, open/short electrical readings, or blown fuses/tripped breakers related to the oven circuit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Inspect connectors and mounting hardware; replace any damaged fasteners or wiring
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals

This terminal block connects the appliance power cord to the internal wiring, providing a secure, insulated point for line voltage. Replacing a worn or damaged terminal block restores a stable electrical connection and reduces arcing risk. What it does

• Secures incoming power leads and routes line voltage to the appliance wiring
• Prevents loose or intermittent power caused by cracked or burned terminals
• Helps stop visible sparking or overheating at the cord connection
• Supports strain relief so the power cord stays positioned correctly

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Verify power is off with a meter; handle live wiring only
• Note wire placement and orientation before removal; transfer wires to the new block in the same order
• Tighten terminal screws securely and restore any strain-relief hardware
