Thank you so much! This video has been a lifesaver for me. The dryer wouldn't turn so I had to learn how to take it apart. The problem turned out to be a sock stuck in the intake. Preventing the motor from turning.
THANK YOU!!!! My kid jammed the power button down, and this video saved me the entire cost of a repairman and helped me fix it myself, which I made my kid help me and now we are all the better for it. THANK YOU!!!!
I was in your same scenario except I was the kid who jammed it for my parents but I fixed it myself and they’ll never know😅
Oǰ 3:12 o😮 3:12 3:12 😢😮ÿ😊

Thank you very much! Saved at least $100 on a visit to remove a sock from the blower blades. You guys rock!
Great video, just changed the heater fuse. This is the 2nd time I've taken the dryer apart, the first time was with out for video and your video saved me from removing so many screws I didn't need to remove. Glad I found it. A+
Your video totally helped me. I ran my dryer without the screen and a piece of clothing was sucked down in there. I was not sure I could get it out and that I would have to call an expensive repair person but thanks to your video, I GOT IT OUT!!! Yippee!!!! Thank you!
Cool thanks!
Thank you so much! This stay at home mom fixed the dryer because of this video!!
Wonderful Video. Just finished replacing the rollers, idler wheel and drum belt today, as it was squeaking loudly. This video made it simple. Probably took me a few hours all together of disassembly, repair and reassembly. Thank you!
James Holland Awesome! Congrats on the successful repair!
This has saved me so much money on repairs. Thank you!

Thank you for the very helpful video. My parents had gotten used to running a load 2-3 times to get it dry. I cleaned the vent and found nothing (it had recently been cleaned), but taking apart the dryer I found lent all over the interior of the dryer, namely on the heating element itself (burnt black) and hairs/string/etc. wrapped around the shaft between the motor and fan. Of the two, I think the hair around the motor was impacting the performance more, but both were obviously huge concerns. The hair came off easily enough using needle nose pliers. Now it runs like new! Also, it involves heavy lifting but you can follow the steps in this video even if your dryer is mounted on top of your washer.
Thanks to this video, I was able to repair a loose baffle in my LG dryer's drum in literally FIVE MINUTES. I was expecting to have to tear half the dryer apart.

8 years ago, this video helped me fix this dryer my inlaws gave me. It helped again just now in replacement of the motor. Much easier to spend $130 than $600-1000.
Thank you! I had a terrible “clunking” noise in my dryer. I had a good idea of what it was but found your video and was convinced. I ordered the parts, followed your instructions and the problem is gone!
Thank you again, keep up the excellent work!
What part did you replace? Mine just started making a clunking noise as well!
My 2009 model is still going, but the blower needed cleaning. Thanks for the reassembly portion too, makes it quicker.

even though this is 7 years late, thank you for making this video! It helped a lot!
You’re a lifesaver mate. One of the roller wheels in the back had seized, causing the drum to stop turning. Thanks to this video we were able to get to it and free it up! Extended usable life by at least a few months and saved us hundreds of dollars in repairs!
Great video. I ended up having a drum roller wheel freeze up on me. This video allowed me to tear down the dryer and put it back together without any issues. I didn't even have any left over screws.
Still a great video 6 years later! Thanks to you I just changed the dryer rollers, and it now runs smooth as butter! All in a couple of hours work.
And thanks to this, I just saved a bunch of money! The rollers+belt kit was a breeze to install thanks to this video.
@@Nightbird.
Absolutely!
I purchased mine through Amazon.
I had to do a little research, but with the right info you should be able to find the right for you.
Get you make, model, serial number handy, and start your search from there.
I was able to find mine by simply searching "make, model+ parts" and then confirming fit for serial number in the description.
How much $ did the rollers and belt cost you??
@@keithbrown8814
It was around $25-30 usd.
Extremely well made , exactly what i needed to replace my 4 rollers and the belt. Hope i do another 10 years with the machine...
Mine had a power button that didn't pop up and down anymore. I removed the front panel as described in the video, then removed the 8 screws holding the white control box inside the front panel. I discovered that the actual button had snapped in 2 places - the springy "arms" that make tge button "bounce". I unclipped the button from the front cover, used super glue and baking soda to repair and reinforce the button, then re-installed everything. Works like new again!
Excellent video. Using it, I was able to fix my dryer. THANK YOU.
You're welcome!

I am a DIYer and used this video for an LG gas dryer rear roller drum replacement job. Very helpful, even though the configuration was/is not identical. Thanks for the excellent help.
+George Ceman Good work!
How did you know the roller needed to be replaced? Our dryer is making a loud noise like a bolder is in it.
Excellent video, changed the thermostate and overtemp switch and just turned it on seems to be working, thanks to you guys.

Great stuff. Used this video to take the whole dryer apart and find one wire that had fatigued and broken off from its connector. A small splice and a crimp terminal later and it's back up and running.
As 10gauge said, lol helped me fix a problem I had! Got a string stuck into the motor and hung all the way out to the lint catcher, thankfully all i had to do was take it apart until I got to taking the lint duct cover off, pull the string, then just reverse order back together! Loved this guide! Quick, simple, and easy!
Great video, clear directions. Had to replace a drum roller and following this instruction made it so easy.
Sweet!
Thank you for the informative video. My problem was a roller. I tried to support you guys, but unfortunately you were out of stock and I couldn't wait. Your shipping price was rather high, but I was willing to pay to thank you for this video.
+Ali Etezadkhah Thank you for the consideration.
+RepairClinic.com My belt is going to fail soon so I'll be contacting you guys :)
No more "Thump, thump, thump". Thanks for a helpful and non-obnoxious video.
Provost Way to go Sarah!
This video was great! I took apart the dryer and identified the bad rollers. I ordered them and put it all back together, so easy after watching this video. Thanks!!
+gb8259 Fantastic!
RepairClinic.com can you please make guides for aeg dryers

I’d like to take the chance to thank you very much for this. I very much appreciate what you’ve done here.
Helped me to get to testing and replacing ny thermostats.

I was surprised how easy disassembly was. All the cables are quick disconnect and only fit in on spot. The rest is just screws. Anyway guys, 2 hours and $10 later, I have a fixed Dryer. Thank you
This video was incredibly helpful. I used it to take apart my dryer and replace one of the wheels, but when I put it back together, it wont turn on. My husband used a meter to make sure that the dryer is receiving power and it is. I wish I could figure out what happened!! The control board and connections are all in correctly.
You forgot to plug something back in.
I’m in the same predicament. What did you find?
Great video! Who knew fixing a dryer could be so simple
Thanks!!!! Saved me $150 or more. Took apart and cleaned the mess inside and it works fine!
Good work Mike!
Great video, helped me clear a piece of clothing that was sucked into the blower motor after the lint screen was left out!
Why in the hell was the lint screen out anyway?
We hope replacing the roller went smoothly.
Do you have a video on DLG8388NM. Lg dryer
Video was perfect because my bride left the filter out and the dryer sucked up a sock into the blower motor. Luckily she stopped the dryer because "it sounds funny".
Followed the video and lo and behold there was 1 sock. Removed everything, removed sock from blower housing, reinstalled everything and cleaned duct work ( it was apart anyway). Installed duct work fired it up and works perfect. Under an hour with the cleanup. Ps. when the warning says "SHARP" put gloves on.
Thank you for your informative video.
Let me guess, you hurt your self pulling the door switch wire.
Thanks for the info! You make it an easy task to clean my dryer
Here cause I jammed the button and to avoid getting in trouble by my parents I fixed it myself and and they’ll never know 😅 thank you 🙏
You're welcome! We are happy to hear that you fixed your dryer.
Awesome video!!! The step-by-step process helped me replace the broken drum. Done in less than 1 hour!!
That's great! Congrats!
Thank-you very much. Managed to repair the rear roller bushing saving me $$$$.
All done, thank you very much. Roller was seized up.

Definitely helped me. got it torn down to the blower vent and found a gift card stuck in the turbine blades.
10gauge1887 whoops
What for?
@@NeedForSpeed.2004 I think it was a generic Visa gift card.
@@10gauge1887 o ok
My LG wasn't exactly the same however, gave me enough information to get a sock out of the blower motor. Thanks you!
Nice!
maybe an old video but recent LG Dryers still open the same;) thank you for posting. I could remove something that fell in the extractor fan in 20 mins including the time to find my philips screw driver haha.
Thx guys. Took the whole thing apart and troubleshoot the damn dryer. Found out it was the control board! Now my wife thinks I'm the man. Lol
Tony Tellez You are. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Saved me hours and lots of money.
How often should the drum belt be replaced or serviced??...my LG electric dryer is 15 yrs old.....
This is an electric dryer. It doesn't have an ignitor. We do have ignitor replacement videos on other dryers though. if you go to our main channel page you can find them from there.
This helped tremendously. Tore mine down to find a sock in the squirrel cage. My question is how???
A big help. Thank you

Thanks so much! Fixed my dryer and I’m stoked!
Nice how you cut from the outside of the drum to two hands working on the pulley and tensioner assembly. If you're going to edit that much explain to the audience.
Awesome information. My problem was the drum and I was able to repair myself
+Christopher Hunter Thank you for sharing.
If you have a Truesteam dryer like I do, the support bracket will be blocked by the plastic piece that the drawer slides into. I have no idea how to remove the darn thing. Also, the wires going to the front panel have no slack so I think one of the molex connectors needs to be disconnected on my model as well but the plastic disconnect you have to squeeze is right up against components soldered to the circuit board
Thank you for this awesome video. This video help me replaced my cracked LG Drum Tuv.
Thanks for the great video, it helped me immensely with my dryer drum replacement.
Tegan Letang Awesome. Congrats on the successful repair!
Thank you! Took 30 min. All fixed!
I opened this video in the UA-cam app just to hit the like button
Very helpful, on the link I saw more videos to test thermostat, fuse, and heat element, I did and show on multimeter that they were good. Then I checked the house breakers and only one was working. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome!
I have Stackable Gas Dryer model DLG2251W, Its been great up until now, 8 years later.
It runs fine, but when the LG stackable lower washer is on spin cycle, the dryer above is making a loud vibration but contacting the LEFT Unit facing side wall. It seems like metal on metal noise.
The noise is NOT present when the dryer is on, ONLY when the washer is ON SPIN CYCLE.
The mounting kit looks inline, glue sealant adhered and front mounting bar and screws are tight.
When I put a level on top of stacked dryer, it shows tilting TOWARD the side of dryer making contact with side wall of unit and measures out of balance by only the thickness of a dime.
When washer on spin and dryer vibrating badly, when I press IN on the SIDE WALL of the FRONT LEFT FACING THE UNIT, the vibration nose stops. So I believe its an issue with the Dryer. Maybe something loose?
It’s a confined space and I could use any Diagnosis of what to look at before I struggle taking the dryer off as I am alone and it’s a confined space.
Thanks
This is a great video. Very well done. I just bought a new LG set including a DLGX8000 and need to put in the LP conversion kit. I would have buggered something if this was not here! Thanks for making this for us DIY'rs
No problem! We're happy to help.
Big help got me going in an hour
Great vid!! Had a dryer sheet wrapped in a lint ball stuck in turbine blades.
Good work!
@10gauge1887 - It was a sock for me, but same type of thing.
Thank you for this video. It made this repair immeasurably easier!
Awesome! Cant believe I was able to do it! Thank you for the great video!
That's great! We're glad we could help!
Ok all done. Thank you very much.

Thank you, my overload switch just needed to be pushed. Fixed!!!!
I didn't pay attention when pulling the drum out. Is there a front and back to the drum? Can it be installed backward?
My washer/dryer were sitting in storage for 3 yrs, and rats or mice chewed through the valve hose drain pump and drain hose. I’ve bought all the parts and didn’t think how they may have done damage to the dryer as well so we shall see
Good video! I probably need to clean the lint in the entire machine. I was wondering if I should also remove the back panel LG DLE6977S model. thanks.
+Robert Grlic There will likely be some lint that you can clean up by removing the rear panel.
Sooooo...., got no sound, no humming, no nothing when I engage the start button.
Seems my belt came off, and there is a safety switch that toggles the motor off if there's no belt tension.
Dissassembled, cleaned inside, and reassembled with no issue. Surprised not many other people come across this issue !?!
Thanks, easy fix for a loose dryer "fin" in the tub.
My LG has a self cleaning condenser. There’s a panel across the bottom of the front that I couldn’t find an screws for and I was unable to lift the front off after removing screws from top and around door. Eventually I held the sides of the bottom panel and pulled down and it unclipped, revealing two more screws. Hope this helps someone else.
oh my god thank you so much james
What would be your first steps for a dryer that wont power on?
More info - The dryer worked fine before we moved. The moving company dropped it, putting a 'small' dent in the front right corner.
Now that it's here, when plugged in, nothing happens. I've already settled with the moving company, but if this is something I may be able to fix myself, I'll be happier just keeping the payoff and not replacing it.
Start with this video: ua-cam.com/video/2xUKBtLkaeo/v-deo.html
Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome imagination. Grade: A++💥
Thank you kindly for the help
How do you remove just the side panel to replace the rubber pipes that carry the water from the condenser to the water container above. I've removed all the screws but the panel is still attached by a few "clips" at the bottom
thanks for this video.I was able to disassemble my dryer and found a damaged rear roller.
The light switch at 2:01 the gold prong is positive and the grey wire connects there? the black wire connects to the silver prong? Thank you
Thanks for the help!
Great! It helped me a lot. Thanks!
Eliusalmo1 Awesome!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support. We hope that you have a great day!
Can you just remove the back panel to replace the rear rollers?
Will you guys be updating this video anytime soon? 🤞
Hi, does LG sell a front panel replacement for the steam dryer DLEX4500B (without the door) ? The installer scratched and kinked the bottom right of the panel. Thank you!
Need HELP ...the plastic flippers are getting stripped and falling off ...need help to replace
Why do these videos ONLY show taking the front door off? What about getting to the rear vent grill?
Thank you!
is this the easiest way to get to the ignitor?
Great video
The screws for the support bracket is stuck. Fml. Now 2 of the screws are stripped
