Parts for Lg 81982: Section 3 Parts

The Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers. It is a critical component responsible for generating the heat necessary for drying clothes efficiently and effectively.

Symptoms of a bad heater assembly:

• Dryer not producing enough heat or failing to dry clothes completely
• Excessive drying times or inconsistent drying performance
• Visible damage or breaks in the heating element coil
• Burning odors or smoke emanating from the dryer during operation

Causes of a bad dryer heater assembly can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

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

This dryer drum belt wraps around the drum and pulleys to spin clothes. Replace if stretched, cracked, or broken to restore tumbling. Confirm fit by model.

The Hi Limit Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for LG dryers. This fuse is a safety device that protects the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer’s temperature exceeds a safe limit. It ensures that the dryer operates within safe temperature ranges, preventing potential fire hazards.

Replace the hi limit thermal fuse if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, a buildup of lint, or exposure to high temperatures over time. A malfunctioning fuse can compromise the dryer’s ability to regulate heat properly.

Symptoms of a bad hi limit thermal fuse include:

• The dryer not heating
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• No response from the dryer when attempting to start a cycle
• Extended drying times due to lack of heat

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

The Hi Limit Thermostat Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. This thermostat monitors and regulates the temperature within the dryer to prevent overheating, ensuring safe and efficient operation. It acts as a safety device that shuts off the heating element if the dryer exceeds a certain temperature, protecting the appliance and your home from potential fire hazards.

Over time, the hi limit thermostat can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or repeated exposure to high temperatures. If the thermostat becomes faulty, it can lead to improper temperature regulation within the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad hi limit thermostat include:

• The dryer overheating
• The dryer not heating at all
• The dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• Extended drying times due to inconsistent heating

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

The Roller Kit is an OEM part for LG dryers. This 4 roller kit includes replacement drum support rollers, which are essential for allowing the dryer drum to rotate smoothly during operation. The rollers are designed to provide stable support for the drum, minimizing noise and ensuring efficient drying performance. 

Over time, drum rollers can wear out due to continuous use, exposure to heavy loads, or lack of proper lubrication. When the rollers become damaged or worn, they may develop flat spots, lose their smooth surface, or begin to squeak. These issues can lead to improper drum rotation or increased strain on other dryer components.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Kit include:  

• Loud squeaking, rumbling, or thumping noises during operation  
• The dryer drum not spinning or rotating unevenly  
• Excessive vibrations while the dryer is running  

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

Captures lint and debris during drying cycles. Replace when torn, cracked, or difficult to remove. Confirm fit using your dryer's model number.

Replace your dryer's guide cover trim piece if cracked, broken, or missing. This trim protects the guide area and prevents debris from entering the mechanism.

This filter guide secures and positions the refrigerator water filter for proper alignment and a reliable seal. It helps keep the filter stable during normal use so water flows correctly and filtration works as intended. What it does:

• Holds the water filter in the correct position inside the filter housing
• Helps maintain a proper seal to reduce the chance of leaks or bypassed water
• Prevents filter movement or rattling when the refrigerator door is opened
• Supports easy removal and replacement of the filter by guiding insertion

• One filter guide

• Designed to install in the refrigerator filter compartment; follow your model's service instructions
• Turn off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing filter components
• Use basic hand tools as required; avoid overtightening which can damage plastic parts
• Inspect surrounding housing and O-rings for wear and replace if needed

Dryer lint filter cover that secures and protects your lint screen. Replace if cracked, broken, or loose to maintain proper airflow and drying efficiency.

Distortion spring that applies tension within the dryer mechanism. Replace if fatigued, broken, or missing to restore proper tension and assembly function.

Precision mounting screw for dryers and laundry centers. Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that secure panels, brackets, and assemblies. Restores stability.

Fix loud banging, grinding noise, or poor drying performance with a new dryer blower wheel. Restores proper airflow through drum and exhaust vent.

Blower housing assembly for dryer that channels heated air from the drum to the exhaust. Replaces a cracked or damaged housing to restore proper airflow and help the dryer dry more efficiently and quietly. What it does:

• Channels heated air from the drum to the exhaust and supports the blower wheel.
• Restores airflow when a damaged or cracked housing is restricting ventilation.
• Commonly used to address reduced drying performance and longer dry times.
• Can also resolve unusual rattling or grinding noises coming from the lower front of the dryer.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning work; wear eye protection and gloves.
• Remove access panels and disconnect vent/ducting per your model's service instructions to reach the blower housing.
• Inspect the blower wheel and surrounding seals/gaskets while the housing is out; replace damaged components as needed.
• Reassemble all panels and venting securely and test the dryer for proper airflow and operation after installation.

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 Dryer Blower Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers. It plays a role in regulating the operation of the blower motor, which is responsible for circulating hot air throughout the dryer during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad dryer blower thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, physical damage, or simply wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad dryer blower thermostat include:  

• The dryer not heating up properly or taking longer to dry clothes
• The blower motor failing to turn on or running continuously
• Inconsistent or inadequate airflow during the drying cycle
• Error codes or fault indicators related to the thermostat or blower motor
