Same issue with my LG today. Followed your directions and works fine now. Amazing. Can't thank you enough for the tip on this one. I bought my soldering iron a few days ago for a different project, so this repair cost me zero dollars! Thanks again!
Awesome! So glad it worked and happy to help. Mine is still working with no issues :)
Well I can’t believe it. After searching 20 or more videos I came across this one. Our LG 2150S dryer died last Saturday and after viewing this video I found the exact same burn mark. Today I soldered the jumper and the dryer is now working. Great, great great…and thank you. I had figured the board needed to be replaced which is now obsolete with no substitution. EBay out of the US is $300 to $400 P.s. the soldering iron at Canadian tire is now $26. Cheers
Glad it helped, thanks for sharing! Ha talk about inflation 😂
Thank YOU!!!
Though the same machine, and the particular circuit board was slightly different, we found the area which overheated with burnt through connection,
My son with much better eyes than mine carefully peeled back the laminate as your instructions. The broken connection was just a few millimeters, so we purchased soldering iron with soldering paste and carefully place the paste within the cutout of burnt lead and then touched the heated tip from iron to solder the connection.. He also utilized another tool to “smooth-out” things and then cleaned the new connection with alcohol.
Initially, I had looked up procuring the board to replace (which does not seem to be available,) and the C-Board ranged in price from $35 to $333!!
SO I REALLY NEED TO THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
My pleasure and so glad to hear it helped you out! I knew this video wouldn’t appeal to the masses but knew a few folks would benefit from it… happy to hear it helped get you back up and running :) Cheers!
Where do bout the other end
thank you, I was ready to dump my old lg dryer but the new ones cost $800-$900 the cheapest! it took me less than an hour to fix it. Had to use thermostat wire because the other one was too thick. Thank God I found this and another video to help me out!
Glad it helped :)
I get running the jump wire, do you plug the connector back in though? I have the exact same issue
My LG clothes dryer failed - no response on the control board but the light inside the dryer drum still turned on and off with the door. Pulled the control board and sure enough there was a burn mark in the same spot as on your video. It took a little finesse to get to the lands as the circuit board had about 3/16" of conformal coating to cut thru to make good solder pads for the jumper wire. Works like a charm for less than 30 minutes work!!! Thanks for making this video!!!
Thanks for the feedback and glad the video helped you!
Wow, thanks to this video, 15$ for a soldering kit on Amazon, an hour of my time and a quick UA-cam video to learn how to do a basic wire to board solder and PRESTO! The dryer works again! Thank you so much for this video, well presented With all the info and photos you saved our family $ and time when we really needed it! Thanks again!
Thanks for comment! I’m so glad that it helped you, my pleasure!
My 2010 LG Dryer was doing same thing with light on with door open but dryer power not turning on. I tried this video and it worked!! For anyone that is not super circuit savy, you may want to find a separate video on how to solder. My burn mark was in same place and the "jump" worked perfectly!! Great video and cost me $0 because a buddy had all the solder stuff!!
Thanks for sharing! Glad things worked out and saved you $$
Just want to say thank you! My dryer light on the inside would turn on but none of the control panel or power buttons were working. Same issue as your board, the track next to the yellow plug was burnt leaving a gap on the path. Followed your steps and it's back and working again
Awesome, glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback.
My mom’s LG DLG2702V went out yesterday. Had no idea where to start, but your video was exactly what I needed! Only cost me $14.99 to fix. Thanks for the post, man!
Glad it helped!
By the amount of replies all mentioning and describing exactly the same issue, I wouldn't be surprised if this is an engineered fault by the manufacturer designed to milk your money. Kudo for this video.
My machine was going on 13 years when this happened, had no issues prior. But if I can get a few more years from it, then why not! Thanks! Still working well :)
Life saver! I'm a 30 yr old woman with no skill at soldering or fixing dryers lol but happen to have all the stuff to do it and highly motivated to get anything I need done to save money and yes! My dryer works! My burn mark happened to match his perfectly and I did exactly as he explained poof! 🤗
Glad the video helped you fix the issue! Thanks for sharing the feedback and see you’re more handy than you think haha
Two weeks ago fixed my dryer with same issue filtering other guys same example. Saved me time and money! Thanks!
The same thing happened to my dryer, and I followed your step by step instructions. Is now workings again. Thank you very helpful 🙏🏼
Awesome! My pleasure :)
Awesome, this did it for me, too! I have a 2019 model with a 220 Ohm resistor behind the firberglass sleeve. The resistor measured as infinite.
I paralleled 7x small 1500 Ohm of 0.5W to mimic the Wattage of the bigger broken resistor.
With all these instances of the same issue, it seems like quite a design flaw on LG's part. I hope they fix it
This is exactly the same thing that happened to mine . Exact same spot was burnt . Well described . Did exactly the same thing and the dryer worked . Had a soldering gun so the cost was zero . Great video . Must be a common problem. You have to take the board right out to see the burn .
Thanks for sharing and glad the video helped!
I'm about to try this. My 2 month old dryer just decided to take a little break and instead of turning on and drying, it just gives me a little chime acknowledging that yes, it realizes I messed buttons, but it doesn't feel like working anymore. I'm about to take this thing apart and fix it, although, I feel it should still be under 90 day warranty.
Exactly this problem. The board on my unit was potted in rubber and I missed this on inspection. But it was bubbled up, I was able to bridge it with solder and also a short length of Cu solder-wick to really make a thick contact. Thanks Yul Guy!!!
Awesome and glad it helped! Mine is still running well, I was so close to replacing it at the time but glad I didn’t :) Thanks for the feedback and tips!
Thanks so much for your video. It also fixed my LG dryer. Saves me a lot of money.
Thank you, my dryer had the same issue and this worked. From one father to another, thank you.
Glad it worked! My pleasure :)
This video saved me a headache. Mine had exactly the same issue and this fixed it. Hat tip to you!
Awesome! Glad to hear it, mine is still working well with no issues.
3rd time seeing a video where that green clip is getting fried. I'm taking mine apart tomorrow..wish me luck!!!
Thank you so much for Sharing. We had the same issue . This video helped us fix the no power issue.
Thank you so much.
Best
Glad it worked, thanks for the feedback!
Spot on solution. This was exactly my problem in exactly the same spot.
Thank you!
Glad it helped :) mine is still running flawlessly!
That’s something that’s illegal to do. If your technician butt that’s amazing you fixed it yourself
Yes and I strongly don’t recommend doing it if you’re not comfortable with it.
In most homes there are get by, emergency fixes, and clever work arounds for the residents own reasons. Just because OSHA or UL has not signed off does not mean it is a horror.
Amazing. Dryer runs like new. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it works
Thank you for sharing 🙂 I have the same washer & dryer.
Thanks 👍
My pleasure, hope it helps! I was seriously thinking about replacing both the washer and dryer with a brand new pair ($1500+)… but then I decided to open it up for fun and ended up fixing it for almost nothing! BTW that video was done over two months ago, it’s still working perfectly fine!
Same problem, same solution. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it helped! My pleasure.
Hey, great video. Our LG dryer was running and quit when I was drying clothes. There's power to the dryer, but nothing happens when I push the start buttons. I saw some videos that say it's the mother board. Now I'm confused. I'd hate to replace the motherboard and then find it's the other circuit board behind the control switches. I guess what I'd like to know, can you actually see a burn mark on it to know it's bad? Thank You and an awesome video!!
Hey thanks for the feedback. Yes the burn mark is very visible usually - you should be able to spot it instantly. Please always use full caution and make sure the unit is powered down completely and unplugged.
@@yulguy-teslatechdiy1509 Thank you for responding. I ordered the main circuit board and it should be here tomorrow. I'm praying that is the problem. Sad that a dryer which we don't use that much, would be broken down after 3 years. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Good luck!
@yulguy-teslatechdiy1509 it was the main circuit board. Dryer is 3 years old and hardly used. Lovely the way they make stuff nowadays.
@@garyp9906 yup cause they want us spending money on replacements faster haha Def not how they used to make them!
Interesting. Have you noticed a loose center knob ever? On mine, turn on the play button but nothing comes in. Jiggling the center knob randomly to get the display to turn on. Once this happens, everything works. Just looking for a little more consistency.
Nope I don’t have that issue in mine. Might be worth unplugging and then taking a look at. Perhaps just a loose piece inside. Gluck!
Mine has burn in the same place. I hope nothing more. Thank you.
Good luck! Hope it does the trick :)
Worked!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!
Model DLE2301R not heating, turns on fine won’t dry clothes. Tried the reset as per video no luck. Any suggestions??
I am in a client's house and her dryer exactly like that stopped working. Her power button is kind of stuck in a little bit I'm trying to pop it out a little but you can't really push it at all. There is power to her dryer because if I turn the light on and off with the little button inside the door it works but I can't get the damn thing to turn on
Hmm not entirely sure what’s causing that. May be unplug and try to remove the front section and inspect the board (similar to my video). Perhaps you can determine what’s making the button stick.
Hello guys, I got the same problem with my LG dryer; it wont spin after I hit on and is not the belt. I noticed some burn out area on the main circuit board; I need help with how to run the jump wire on the board. I understand point A is the burnt area but point B dont know where to. I wish I can send a pic but they dont allow it 😥thanks for your help!
Hi Ernesto. Point A is not the burnt area, you have to find a spot after the burnt area (point A) and somewhere before the burnt area (point b). The idea is to jump over the burnt area but make sure it’s in the same track. I hope this helps!
Wait so you used the wire from the plug?
No just another wire I had at home, it was from a tv power wire (I.e old tv plug cable).
I bought a new control board and the washer doesn't turn on
What connection points are you hitting exactly?
What do you mean by connection points? Think of the circuit track as a bridge with a hole in it (burn), so you have to connect another bridge (wire) before and after the burn. This way the current is carried through the new connection/bridge. Hope that helps!
My DLG2302W was burned in the same spot. Soldered on a wire like your video suggested and it worked like a charm. Has your fix held up? Any idea what causes the burn? Could it be caused by a faulty “sensor dry” system?
Awesome and glad it worked! Yeah mine is still working well with no issues. Glad it worked for you too :) Not too sure what caused it tbh, can really be anything from regular wear and tear of the circuit board, overheating, dust to faulty sensors as you suggest. One less expense (for now at least).
@@yulguy-teslatechdiy1509 Thanks for your response and the great content!
I’m a little confused.. I am having the same problem after you solder the wire where you scratch everything off do you put it in the plug or you solder it somewhere else
Hi. You’re just creating a jumper wire on the same track where you see the burned spot (the jumper wire will connect point A to point B via soldering). At the moment, since the board is burned in a specific area it’s not connected so we simply “reconnect it” using a jumper wire. Hope this helps!
