Thank you for this video. My wife was about to order a new dryer tomorrow. I found this video and disassembled my dryer, and it was burnt in the same place as yours. I ran a jumper, and it's working again. Again, thank you.
Well done. I searched and search for someone who had the same problem and here I found it. A couple minutes digging through the goop that they put in to prevent honest troubleshooting and repair by the little guy, then scrape the trace clean and solder in a jumper. My LG Drier is a DLEX2501S, but it has the same board and the same problem. You would think that they would have built in a fuse instead.
We had the exact same burned spot on the circuit board of our LG DLG2051W from 2007. I followed your repair, and it's back up and running. THANK YOU!!!
Been staring at the PCB for an hour and didn't spot the crispy bits. Once I saw your video, I zeroed in instantly. Mine wasn't as burned as yours but was exactly the same spot.
Thanks for the video. I find a same problem with my LG dryer DLE2301S. Now it fixed thanks to you! It is, definitely, problem of PCB design. The conductor burned in the narrow area near connector. It happened for different dryers using same board. LG have to take responsibility for this failure.
Just want to thank you so much for the video. Just followed your video step by step and cost me about $10 to fix my wife’s dryer vs about $150 for a new/used mother board. Awesome job and great step by step video and I’m very happy I found your video! Thank you again!
Huge THANK YOU! It’s not just the cost of new part it’s the time that was not waisted and inconvenience averted. Try to find that darn part on Sunday morning! Dead on the same “sweet” spot. Thanks to you clip the dryer working again in a short while.
Same issue here! One quick thing ... I made sure to use a 14AWG cable to fix, because clearly this is a current issue, and the wire going into the connectors above are 14AWG. Harder to solder, but worth it if it reduces fire hazard. Sending you some cash!
I want to send a big thank you your way. My dryer showed a failure in exactly the same spot and I used your technique to repair it and now it is working, again, as it should be.
Hi buddy, thanks for your video. I have an LG DLEX3700V dryer that's giving me the error code TE1. I looked it up online and found that it might be a bad thermistor. I ordered a new one (model 6323EL2001B) and replaced it. I measured the resistance of the old one, which was about 8K ohms, and the new one reads around 10.8K ohms. From what I found online, the normal range should be around 11K ohms, so I think the new thermistor is fine. I also tested the round thermal fuse you mentioned in your video, and it reads 0.04 ohms, which seems normal. I took apart the vent and cleaned everything, inside and out. There’s no dust or blockage near the two sensors. After reassembling everything, I double-checked all the connections to make sure they're tight. I also measured the resistance at the yellow and blue wires leading into the control board, and it shows around 10K ohms, which means the connection to the board should be fine. Once I put everything back together, I reset the dryer by holding the start button for five seconds while it was unplugged. But when I powered it back on, it ran for a few seconds and then showed the TE1 error again. I tried restarting it a few times, but the TE1 error keeps coming up. Do you think this could be a control board issue? The board is pretty expensive, so I don’t want to buy one without being sure. Could you help me figure out how to use a multimeter to test the board and what kind of readings I should be looking for to determine if the board is bad? Thanks for your time, and I really appreciate any help you can offer!
Thank You !! Had the exact same burned trace in the same spot - looks like a design flaw to me. Jumped as you did & dryer is back working again. Great video! Sending you a donation for your work. Thanks again.
Ay bro i jst want to say thank you for making this video my dryer went out couple days ago & ive been tryna trouble shoot i have exact same problem but mine does not have any power the light inside does not turn on when i open door ive tried switching to new power cord & i tested outlet everything is good but now tbat i seen your video im going to open it up & now i know what to look for thank you again 🙏🏼👍🏼
Very helpful, especially since my dryer had exactly the same damage and replacement boards are no longer available, that I could find. Your repair worked perfectly for mine as well and I hope it lasts as long as the dryer has to this point .... 10 more years! Thanks much, my wife now thinks I can repair Anything, LOL! I did give credit to your post though.
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.
Bit slow on the edits but this is great content - an actual repair ! so many boards get swapped when they can easily be repaired just like you showed. Well done.
Glad to hear it. Donations can be made through PayPal: www.paypal.com/donate/?token=qp3Dpyr8hMvksQ2FGSGfK-VCJHKUKZVjhtYgwuRHRFSEFyrkdwMuh2SVasM0hU_UnmtwHG&country.x=CA&locale.x=CA
The fix does not interfere with the protection built into the unit by the manufacturer. It addresses the weak link in the board, but as always you do all repairs at your own risk.
You can use a sharp utility or exacto knife to cut a rectangle in the silicone, just be careful not to cut into the board. Any copper wire will work, you just don't want it too thin. You also need soldering paste to get the solder to stick to the wire and the copper on the board.
CL is usually the Child Lock indicator, which locks the control panel. If you are unable to turn it off and all the buttons work, the control board may be damaged. Check out this video on how to enable and disable the Child Lock: ua-cam.com/video/9q0HnmrfzUQ/v-deo.html
Thank you for the video ..I have the same dryer .... I cannot get the solder to take to the board... Can someone please give me some advice ..I am pretty good at soldering wires but I've never ran into this... So this is my 1st time kind sorta....(: Anyways I will be waiting until someone lets me know something because I'm stuck tganks peeps
I did ..I just was being to impatient I guess...ultimately took me 3 tries before I got it to work...I filled it back in with hot glue..don't know if that's a good idea overall But she's humming now...appreciate this video...saved me 160,bucks...can't beat that
WOW Fantastic. My control board is NLA EBR36858801 searched everywhere none to be found.. Was contemplating new dryer Saved $1,000. I will donate . I hope it lasts many years.

This worked for my LG Dryer 2 weeks ago, saved me time not waiting for part and money. Thanks for sharing!

This video saved me a big headache. Mine had the same issue and was able to fix it after watching your repair. Hat tip!

Thank you! Just finished the repair on my dlex7177rm. Burned out trace in exactly the same place.
Your jumper was prettier than mine, but my dryer doesn't seem to mind. Appreciate you posting this, some PayPal is on the way.
Thank you sir 🙏🏾 thank you this worked great. It took me a sec because my burn was pretty bad but this worked wonders
looks exatly the same on our dlex4270v , thank you so very much for your time to do this EXTREMELY helpful video :)
This fixed my dryer !! Thank you for posting this !

I have the same POS dryer, same issue. Completed the steps, voila. Great Vid!
I have to add, there are NO motherboards left for this model. I checked everywhere. You MUST fix it. Thankfully, this worked!
Thank you so much. I just saved $200
Wow I just did it as you instructed on your video and it is fixed problem solved, thank you so much for sharing the video 🙏🏽
Do you know where i can find the wire or what is called?
Nice I did same thing to mine and it worked save 300$ 👍
You just saved me 150 bucks thanks!
Thank you a lot you just saved me a couple hundred dollars
Thank you. I had the same problem and it's fixed. Well done
Bit slow on the edits but this is great content - an actual repair ! so many boards get swapped when they can easily be repaired just like you showed. Well done.
Worked great on my LG DLE2301R, thanks for sharing.
Same here save my 14 years old dryer Tank you so much !!
14 thumbs down must be from the parts dept.
Worked for me as well. Thanks much!
Impressive! Thanks for the video! Subscribed.
Wow,great content. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the cool repair how - to !
Worked like a charm - dryer is back in working order - Thanks! - How would I make a donation?
Glad to hear it. Donations can be made through PayPal: www.paypal.com/donate/?token=qp3Dpyr8hMvksQ2FGSGfK-VCJHKUKZVjhtYgwuRHRFSEFyrkdwMuh2SVasM0hU_UnmtwHG&country.x=CA&locale.x=CA
I had the same issue and fixed 👍
Thank you for sharing this video
Trying it tomorrow! Thanks!
OMG!!!! Worked like a charm! Thank you so much! You da bomb!
will try it on mine will let you know how it turns out thanks!
Can I order it I'm trying to get what my husband needs to repair ours TYIA
About to do this fix. I wonder if this poses some risk of the unit not turning off if in case it overheats?
The fix does not interfere with the protection built into the unit by the manufacturer. It addresses the weak link in the board, but as always you do all repairs at your own risk.
@@videomomo thanks! Got it to work again!
What is the best way to remove the silicone to expose the contacts? Will any copper wire work for the soldering connection?
You can use a sharp utility or exacto knife to cut a rectangle in the silicone, just be careful not to cut into the board. Any copper wire will work, you just don't want it too thin. You also need soldering paste to get the solder to stick to the wire and the copper on the board.
@@videomomo is soldering paste the same as flux?
@@mikeb4414 yes
You are the fucking man. Keep up the good work!!!
On my dryer it’s showing CL so I clean the lint basket but CL won’t go away can’t get it to start is there anyway I can clear that off
CL is usually the Child Lock indicator, which locks the control panel. If you are unable to turn it off and all the buttons work, the control board may be damaged. Check out this video on how to enable and disable the Child Lock: ua-cam.com/video/9q0HnmrfzUQ/v-deo.html
What if I have no power at all ? It’s plugged in. No light when I open the dryer door.
Same exact issue. Repairing tonight
You rock! Thank you! Back to working order
Where can I find the wire?
I wonder how many people here thank him out have made a "contribution" to the Guy. Just wondering.........
Still waiting for that first one :)
@@videomomo : They have saved money but have not made a "contribution" yet.
I wonder how many didnt say thank you. Blessings coming his way. No doubt.
Found the same issue in my DLE2701.
Thank you for the video ..I have the same dryer .... I cannot get the solder to take to the board... Can someone please give me some advice ..I am pretty good at soldering wires but I've never ran into this...

Make sure to use flux paste
I did ..I just was being to impatient I guess...ultimately took me 3 tries before I got it to work...I filled it back in with hot glue..don't know if that's a good idea overall
But she's humming now...appreciate this video...saved me 160,bucks...can't beat that
WOW Fantastic. My control board is NLA EBR36858801 searched everywhere none to be found.. Was contemplating new dryer Saved $1,000. I will donate . I hope it lasts many years.
I'm gonna try this right now if this works man I will make sure you contact me I'll mail you a donation just like you asked
And I got the exact same dryer
Why does every video skip how to take that tray out?
If memory serves, once you open the tray all the way, there is a plastic tab underneath that you need to press for it to slide out all the way.
