Had a problem with my dryer, it took me 3 or 4 cycles to get my clothes dry. I watched this video and did everything he said step by step and now my dryer is running like brand freaking new. You saved me time, money, and my wife is not yelling at me to " Just go buy a new washer and dryer" saving me about $1400. 00. Bless you sir, you really know what you are talking about and doing but more importantly you saved my ass! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS VIDEOS.
2 years later and your video is still helping others, I replaced my first high limit thermostat ever and I feel damn proud I was able to do it. Thank you very much for this
The was the most informative repair video I've ever seen. My husband and I fixed our dryer today and it was very fast and easy because we were able to reference this as needed. Added bonus: you sound like the Bob Ross of appliance repairmen!
Following this video, my dryer seems to be the same model in your video. LG DLE6977w (2003.) I bought a multimeter and got the same readings as you got in the video. I've ordered a new part STRAIGHT from LG. One of my drum roller bushings had disintegrated so I also ordered one of those from Amazon for $15. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I can get this "vintage" dryer back up and running, thanks to your walk through! I'm not in a position to buy a new dryer, and I'm a firm believer new appliances can be unreliable. This dryer has taken my abuse for several years, kids clothes, dog bedding ECT. I've only lived on my own for 10 years so I'm learning a lot, and one of those things is dryer maintenance and how important it is, as well as how much money you can save doing it on your own if you can.
I think it’s GREAT that you just be yourself in your videos. I would say though that you maybe reiterate anything of great importance- maybe just make a sheet that highlights those items so ppl can see them and why they’re important. Ppl forget too easily even with a video they can rewind. But I liked your presentation. I’m hoping I can fix my so sons dryer; it’s also an LG, was hoping it wouldn’t be so in-depth of a job, but it is what it is. I did watch another video and it just showed how to “Reset” the dryer, but after watching your video I learned that may not be a good resolution to the “not-drying” problem, especially if you don’t know how much LINT might be built up inside the interior of the dryer, and cause a fire😱 Thank you for your video. Keep up the good work🙏😅
Dude! Thank you for posting this. Our dryer is a different model, but wow. Except for the control board which had fewer plugs than the model you did the video with, there were absolutely no surprises. I replaced the heating element (which came with a T-Stat and fuse), the tires the drum rides on, and the belt. Cleaned it really well, (I watched the other video too) and made our 18 year old LG Tromm like new. Bride is ecstatic. $111 in parts and about an hour and a half. Thank you!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!! I had the same symptoms of no-heat on my LG... Not being much of an electronics guy, I watched your video, and low and behold my high limit switch wasn't showing any continuity either. My part is now on the way! I like to post the occasional how-to on my little channel when the opportunity presents itself as my contribution because guys like you are generous enough to share your knowledge with the world. Thanks again and God Bless!
Saved me a lot of money and a ton of mental anguish. It looked daunting but I just took it step by step through his video and the process was easy. The hardest part was making sure the voltmeter I had was set right. Never used one before. I had a cheap one from Harber Freight that seemed to do the trick. Note that in the video he said there should NOT be continuity between the blue/Yellow wire on the heating element. When I tested, I found that mine did, so I read the other comments and someone else had the same issue/question. Not to repeat them, find those comments and read them. Reassembly was even easier. Working now like nothing was ever wrong. Big thanks again.
perfect video! Every step along the way matched my model just right. I appreciated how you also showed the steps for reassembly. A lot of how-to videos leave that out, tell you to just reverse the procedure. The reverse camera angle really helped understand how to take off & put on the belt. I rehearsed the procedure to put on the belt about a dozen times without the drum in place so I could see what I was doing, then closed my eyes for the last few reps so I was ready to do it blind. Worked out nicely. Thanks, dude!
Thank you so much! Your video was so clear that I was able to replace the fuse on my LG dryer with no problem. I’m a beginner with this type of repair with assembling IKEA furniture being my most adventurous task before this.
This was the perfect video. I was able to replace the thermal fuse and get everything back together the way it was. Thank you for putting the chapters in there, along with your commentary. I really wouldn't have been able to approach this without such a detailed guide.
My dryer was not starting, I had zero experience with that, but I found your video, follow your steps, and I fixed! My first time and it was a success thanks to your video. Thank you!!! :)
Thats wrong, my grandparents had same dryer for 30 years with 8 kids. Household applicanecs use to be an investment that lasted. Now these manufacturers make crap to break often require parts and service often so they can keep getting money out if us. Its wrong and criminal. My uncle bypassed all the electeonics on my parents lg and put in a 3 phase heater and used a standard dial timer and turned the lg into a manual dryer. It jas worked well for the last 9 years while my lg has crapped out 5 times now. Im getting my dryer converted like my parents.
I found you and I’m so glad I did. My husband attempted to fix our LG dryer and it was a success. The step by step instructions were very good. Thx for sharing.
My LG dryer wasn't heating, this video was the first to come up on Google, and it worked great! helped me fix my dryer. I love UA-cam for DIY stuff! I'm never sure how to use my multimeter, I don't have all the symbols memorized, so when it came time to test continuity I asked ChatGPT how to use my multimeter, and it gave great instructions. Also, I vote for some human chatter during the videos - I often have to watch the video several times to get it all down, and it is much more enjoyable to watch with some fun commentary than just robot-mode.
This was perfect, thank you. What a blessing it was that the thermal fuse went bad... our dryer looked almost as bad as this one did on the inside. It's nicely.cleaned now, fixed, and it works!!
Dude, absolute lifesaver. This was exactly what was wrong with mine. Followed this and was able to fix it for $13. Have two extra screws left over from somewhere lol. Subscribed!
Blue and yellow will have continuity in a functional heating element. There should be approximately 20 ohms between red and yellow/blue and 40 ohms between yellow and blue because they meet at the red terminal
thanks so much! I'm not one for UA-cam "tutorials" - as I prefer a good webpage with pictures, but the funny thing is, one of the other tutorials I followed years ago was how to take apart and fix my old dryer. now here again almost 10 years later i'm following another dryer repair tutorial!
What a great help. I ordered all new heating parts and followed the video. Two hours later, my 15 year old dryer is now safe (no lint) and running perfectly. Kudos to you. Thanks Ted
2nd time around fixing mine in 2 years. So i modified my unit and put in 2 flap trap doors for easy access so i can now quickly test and fix these parts. Just used a angle grinder and used a cheap hinge with ca glue and works like a charm.
This is a great idea. It would be nice if the manufacturer would do this to make life easier on everyone. I would love to see a photo of your door location/size/hinge etc.
Thanks for this video. Got my dryer blowing heat again and also found a replacement for a couple of drum wheels that were seized and worn flat. Very much appreciate this video. Keep up the great work
I looked at your video several times to prepare myself to make the repair my LG drier.I used the parts list you listed.Great explanation of the steps .😊
Excellent video. My 3 year old LG ended up having the exact same problem. On a side note, all 3 wires (red yellow and blue) on the actual heating element had continuity. You mentioned in the video that this shouldn't be the case but it's working great now. Thanks again!!
This video was excellent. Thank you for posting. Helped my fix my dryer and save money like the rest below. One minor item is the High limit T-Stat link you include in comments. It is 6931EL3001E which only has two wire crimp connection points. The T-Stat in your video (like mine) is a 6931EL3001F it has three crimp connector points. Not a big deal but for some looking to plug and play it will require some extra work. Thanks again.
I love how chill you sound during the whole process. Like the Bob Ross of appliance repair videos! I have 40 ohms continuity between the blue and yellow wires to the heating element. Red to either is 20 ohms. Is this ok? You mention no continuity between the blue and yellow wires. Thank you for this great instructional video!
I have 40 ohms continuity between the blue and the yellow wires. In addition, red to either wire is also 21/22 ohms. In the video you said there should be no continuity between the blue and the yellow. Which one is correct?
The person who commented above was 100% correct. Because I read his comment I saved $65 on an aftermarket Heating Element. My Ohms Tested exactly as his did, and all of my sensors had continuity. I just replaced the Thermal Fuse (High-Limit Thermostat) and the (Rear High Limit Thermostat) dryer worked perfect. I got one load of laundry out of it (I spent 2 days cleaning this thing to new on my deck leaf blowers etc) and poof it failed. I massacred the guy on Amazon where I bought these two parts for $10. Turns out that regardless of ALL THE TESTS - The High Limit (part being replaced in this Video) failed again. I have now bought two LG parts (as they lasted me 13 years no issues) - No I didn't spend $60 - I got a guy who sold them on eBay new LG for $20 for both....I will keep them on spare to see if it happens again. What I am testing now is if I bought too short of a new vent exhaust hose. The old one was such a fire Hazzard and about 8' - I went with a 3' and I wonder if there was too much tension etc on it. So I have pulled the dryer out so no kinks and see how long this Chinese sensor holds up again.@@kathykingcaid9724
@@Matt314159 Yes! I've bought a host of Chinese aftermarket off Amazon and LG Sensors off eBay. I've had to replace them a few times after the initial Deep Clean. I can't recall if the LG lasted longer then the Chinese. But it' possible and likely. I've replaced them a few times in the first few weeks. Now they've held up for 6 months!
Very helpful, I couldn’t do it without you! I was able to fix mine exactly as you showed, but the only thing I didn’t have continuity in the high limit thermostat and when I removed it I pushed that little reset in the middle, then I was able to get continuity again!so I ended up cleaning the dryer as you showed, closing it and it was running amazing again!! Only thing I recommend to people before they open it to check the reset button in the high limit thermostat l , but opening it and cleaning it is so worth it!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much. Our dryer just stopped heating recently and now thanks to your video I feel confident in being able to fix it myself. Thank you very much.
Excellent video. Well explained. I have replaced thermal fuses on older dryers but my LG just stopped working last night and I had to search to see how to do it on one of these. Thank you very much.
Very helpful video. I ran the step by step procedure you recommended and just did the vacum cleaning eliminating all dust and fluff. I managed to put back all together again with no bolt o part remaining at the end. Saved more than 100 USD for the maintenance technician. Excelent video. Thanks a lot
Great video!!! I already ordered both parts. Had to wait til I went back to work to grab my multimeter. Will be doing this later when I get home. Definitely feel way more confident after watching your video. And please keep talking and being yourself. It's grueling to listen to robot like monotone people.
Narrating what you’re doing is just fine. You’ll want to edit the videos a bit more perhaps but hey, I’m no UA-camr I’m just trying to fix my dryer and I certainly appreciate you
This was exactly the same issue my dryer had. This video made it super easy to diagnose, purchase the part and replace it. Dryer is working great again. Thx!
And another happy user of your video. That was easy. $15 worth of parts, an incision in my hand (dang those pieces are sharp), and heat!!!! Thank you Bearded Appliance Repair guy!
Extremely helpful video! I had exactly the same problem, and even though it was a different model I was able to buy a replacement fuse and get it back running on my own (also had the chance to give it a much-needed deep cleaning). Thanks a ton for sharing this!
Thank you sir!! My dryer is the exact same and has the exact same issue other than there being continuity between yellow and blue with 40 ohms but some other comments cleared it up!!! 13 bucks instead of a newer dryer, I can’t thank you enough!
Mine w as a different model as well but pretty much all the same. $11 in parts and a hour of labor and back to doing laundry! Thanks so much for the video. I would agree with some of the other comments that I had continuity between the two element coils but still worked fine.
Absolutely great Video but the feedback is so important!!! The person who commented above was 100% correct. Because I read his comment I saved $65 on an aftermarket Heating Element.

Fantastic video. Made taking apart the drying much easier. One note, my heating element shows continuity between all three wires. And, according to the wiring schematic in the dryer, the inner and outer elements should read with a resistance equal to the sum of the individual coils. My red to blue reads 20 Ohms, the red to yellow reads 20 Ohms, and the blue to yellow reads 40 Ohms. Had I relied on the continuity test alone, I would have unnecessarily replaced the heater. (Your electrical meter and mine may have different settings for "continuity."). My thermal fuse is blown. Given the low probability of the element shorting out and the thermal fuse blowing at the same time....I dug a little deeper. Again, excellent video.
_Great video clarity and explanations _Good presentation and video quality _You have made us confident in replacing the component in this video _Thank you for taking the time to explain and video each step in detail
Thank you for your guidance.. Great, short and simple (on the go) instructions for a DIYourselfer that can't afford a PROs service at the time. Thank you for helping lots of folks out there👍
thank you very much. replaced coil and unit works. you did not talk too much, and all though mine is a little different you made this easy for hvac guy to fix this. thank you.
Thanks. Was able to follow along and fix the dryer. With my dryer there were round access panels on the back lower sides for side venting. I opened one of those up and was able to watch the element kick in and off. Thanks again
Thank you for great video with excellent explanation, I'm changing sensor second time, it's last a year or more but dryer keeps working if you do some cleaning and keep it in great shape. It was nice to refresh memory after more than a year and appreciate your work . Good luck !
I went through this video and replaced the thermal fuse and the video is perfect for any LG dryer that looks similar. However, after I replaced it, I had the same issue after running it about 4 times. The dryer wouldn't heat. I opened it back up and sure enough the thermal fuse was bad. Short story, the high temp thermostat was likely also bad. If you are replacing the fuse, go ahead and replace the thermostat as well. They often come as a kit anyways and cost very little. The reason the the fuse popped was because the high temp thermostat likely wasn't always cutting off when it should. Basically as the temp approaches a certain temperature, the thermostat stops the heater for a little bit until it cools a little. So just go ahead and replace both. Also, inspect the actual heater. If any of those coils are sort of bowed up or down, they will likely touch the housing as they will be d more when heated. That could also cause the thermal fuse to pop. It is also easy to replace but costs a good bit more(still a lot cheaper than a new dryer).
Great instructional video. My problem is a little mind-boggling. The heat works very intermittently . Sometimes it heats up, sometimes it doesn't. All lint has been cleaned out from the exhaust tubes, and the fan area. I did not go so far as to remove the drum. The reset button doesn't push, so that doesn't appear to be an issue.Thoughts. Our model is LG DLG1320W.
You made me look like a hero with the wife! This video is so spot on. Of course it save us a bunch of $$. What’s huge is man points to my wife. Thank you.
Thanks a ton for this video! It helped me diagnose my issue (bad thermal fuse) and how to take the dryer apart and more important put it back together.😀
Love the narration. Keep it up. I was gonna throw mine away n buy new BUT ill try n fix first. Mine thumps or rumbling sound so im guessing i need new belt too.
A loud rumblimg usually indicates one or more of the drum rollers needs replacing. Usually the right front one is first to go. I replaced only that one, and the noise went away.
Thanks to your awesome help, I was able to replace the thermal fuse. The dryer was producing heat immediately after replacing, but after a full load ran, it was no longer heating. I'm assuming the thermal fuse blew out again pretty quickly? The dryer seems perfectly clean-- no blockages that I can see. What would you replace next?
I just watched a bunch of videos and fixed my 6 year-old Samsung dryer, and this LG video popped up. It's interesting that the basic design is so similar. And a lot of the components appear to be identical.
Thanks! I had a tighter spot to work with because it was a stack up in a bathroom, but it ended up being that same heat sensor. I had to work through that access panel on the side and took off the vent in the back to work with both hands but it's working now!
I just finished servicing my LG dryer with bad rollers and got two left-over screws so just watching to see where those may belong. Found them, I think ... Thank :)

Is that means bad jared? i got continuity on all 3 wires, does that mean element is bad?
Did you replace the heating element?
Same thing do you need to replace the element?
Same here. Got it apart and the high limit had no continuity, but the blue to yellow have continuity. Does that mean the element has to be replaced?
Same thing here but I don't see any answers! High limit hs no continuity, but the blue to yellow has continuity.

I was able to fix mine exactly as you showed, but the only thing I didn’t have continuity in the high limit thermostat and when I removed it I pushed that little reset in the middle, then I was able to get continuity again!so I ended up cleaning the dryer as you showed, closing it and it was running amazing again!!
Only thing I recommend to people before they open it to check the reset button in the high limit thermostat l , but opening it and cleaning it is so worth it!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much. Our dryer just stopped heating recently and now thanks to your video I feel confident in being able to fix it myself. Thank you very much.
Excellent video. Well explained. I have replaced thermal fuses on older dryers but my LG just stopped working last night and I had to search to see how to do it on one of these. Thank you very much.
Very helpful video. I ran the step by step procedure you recommended and just did the vacum cleaning eliminating all dust and fluff. I managed to put back all together again with no bolt o part remaining at the end. Saved more than 100 USD for the maintenance technician. Excelent video. Thanks a lot
Great video!!! I already ordered both parts. Had to wait til I went back to work to grab my multimeter. Will be doing this later when I get home. Definitely feel way more confident after watching your video. And please keep talking and being yourself. It's grueling to listen to robot like monotone people.
So helpful, saved us a lot of money, plus the fact we were going to have to wait 7 weeks for a technician!
Narrating what you’re doing is just fine. You’ll want to edit the videos a bit more perhaps but hey, I’m no UA-camr I’m just trying to fix my dryer and I certainly appreciate you
This was exactly the same issue my dryer had. This video made it super easy to diagnose, purchase the part and replace it. Dryer is working great again. Thx!
This video saved us big $$ on repairing our dryer. Step to step instructions was awesome.
Watched the video took it apart tested it found the problem got a new thermal fuse put it back together dryer is drying now. Thank you for the post!
Very clear and efficient video!! Thanks for the clear instructions and the nice “behind the pulley” view!
And another happy user of your video. That was easy. $15 worth of parts, an incision in my hand (dang those pieces are sharp), and heat!!!! Thank you Bearded Appliance Repair guy!
Extremely helpful video! I had exactly the same problem, and even though it was a different model I was able to buy a replacement fuse and get it back running on my own (also had the chance to give it a much-needed deep cleaning). Thanks a ton for sharing this!
Thank you sir!! My dryer is the exact same and has the exact same issue other than there being continuity between yellow and blue with 40 ohms but some other comments cleared it up!!! 13 bucks instead of a newer dryer, I can’t thank you enough!
I just love people who love and know what they do.
This video is amazing, you explain very well. Thank you, I fixed my dryer from watching this. Thank you, much appreciated
Mine w as a different model as well but pretty much all the same. $11 in parts and a hour of labor and back to doing laundry! Thanks so much for the video. I would agree with some of the other comments that I had continuity between the two element coils but still worked fine.
Absolutely great Video but the feedback is so important!!! The person who commented above was 100% correct. Because I read his comment I saved $65 on an aftermarket Heating Element. My Ohms Tested exactly as his did, and all of my sensors had continuity. I just replaced the Thermal Fuse (High-Limit Thermostat) and the (Rear High Limit Thermostat) dryer worked perfect. I got one load of laundry out of it (I spent 2 days cleaning this thing to new on my deck leaf blowers etc) and poof it failed. I massacred the guy on Amazon where I bought these two parts for $10. Turns out that regardless of ALL THE TESTS - The High Limit (part being replaced in this Video) failed again. I have now bought two LG parts (as they lasted me 13 years no issues) - No I didn't spend $60 - I got a guy who sold them on eBay new LG for $20 for both....I will keep them on spare to see if it happens again. What I am testing now is if I bought too short of a new vent exhaust hose. The old one was such a fire Hazzard and about 8' - I went with a 3' and I wonder if there was too much tension etc on it. So I have pulled the dryer out so no kinks and see how long this Chinese sensor holds up again.
Giggled with the voiceover. Thanks for investing time, helping others!
Teacher at heart!!! Clear and concise.
You do a great job explaining and filming everything! Thank you!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Your tutorial helped me diagnose and repair my 13 year old LG dryer.
Fantastic video. Made taking apart the drying much easier. One note, my heating element shows continuity between all three wires. And, according to the wiring schematic in the dryer, the inner and outer elements should read with a resistance equal to the sum of the individual coils. My red to blue reads 20 Ohms, the red to yellow reads 20 Ohms, and the blue to yellow reads 40 Ohms. Had I relied on the continuity test alone, I would have unnecessarily replaced the heater. (Your electrical meter and mine may have different settings for "continuity."). My thermal fuse is blown. Given the low probability of the element shorting out and the thermal fuse blowing at the same time....I dug a little deeper. Again, excellent video.
Without your comment I would have wasted $65 - Thank you very much!!!
Great thorough video, love the camera and lighting so helpful. Talk all you want its all helpful
Starting my day with a relaxing thirty minute dryer disassembly video. 😂 Thank you so much for this my dryer is currently haunted.
_Great video clarity and explanations
_Good presentation and video quality
_You have made us confident in replacing the component in this video
_Thank you for taking the time to explain and video each step in detail
Thank you for your guidance.. Great, short and simple (on the go) instructions for a DIYourselfer that can't afford a PROs service at the time. Thank you for helping lots of folks out there👍
This is a GREAT VIDEO!!!! Thank you soooo much! ❤ I can’t wait to try fixing it myself! Without you I would have no clue where to start!
thank you very much. replaced coil and unit works. you did not talk too much, and all though mine is a little different you made this easy for hvac guy to fix this. thank you.
You da man! Well spoken. Clear and precise. Keep doing how you do. I'm watching all your videos man. Good job
Great content. You saved me from having to buy a new dryer. Oh, and I have no issues listening to you talk! 😀
Thank you!! My dryer had the same problem. Went and test the thermal fuse, open! Ordered, installed, up and running.
Thanks!
Best UA-cam help video I’ve watched. 5 star!
You are the man! Great video! I really appreciate it. I'm not a pro, so it took me 3hrs, but it got done!
Thanks. Was able to follow along and fix the dryer. With my dryer there were round access panels on the back lower sides for side venting. I opened one of those up and was able to watch the element kick in and off. Thanks again
Thank you so much, I have a lg gas dryer with resettable fuses but knowing what to look for when metering them out was a huge help.
Nice video, this will help me fix my dryer and you kept it interesting. Thanks.
Thank you for great video with excellent explanation, I'm changing sensor second time, it's last a year or more but dryer keeps working if you do some cleaning and keep it in great shape. It was nice to refresh memory after more than a year and appreciate your work . Good luck !
Thank you kind Sir for this video. Got our dryer fixed for minimal money. Thanks a million!!
I went through this video and replaced the thermal fuse and the video is perfect for any LG dryer that looks similar. However, after I replaced it, I had the same issue after running it about 4 times. The dryer wouldn't heat. I opened it back up and sure enough the thermal fuse was bad. Short story, the high temp thermostat was likely also bad. If you are replacing the fuse, go ahead and replace the thermostat as well. They often come as a kit anyways and cost very little.
The reason the the fuse popped was because the high temp thermostat likely wasn't always cutting off when it should. Basically as the temp approaches a certain temperature, the thermostat stops the heater for a little bit until it cools a little. So just go ahead and replace both. Also, inspect the actual heater. If any of those coils are sort of bowed up or down, they will likely touch the housing as they will be d more when heated. That could also cause the thermal fuse to pop. It is also easy to replace but costs a good bit more(still a lot cheaper than a new dryer).
Loved this, keep up the human like chatting while working on it.
Thank you for this video. I was able to follow your instructions and replace my heating element.
Excellent video! Watched/followed your video, bought a $25 igniter and the dryer works like a charm! Thank you.
Great instructional video. My problem is a little mind-boggling. The heat works very intermittently . Sometimes it heats up, sometimes it doesn't. All lint has been cleaned out from the exhaust tubes, and the fan area. I did not go so far as to remove the drum. The reset button doesn't push, so that doesn't appear to be an issue.Thoughts. Our model is LG DLG1320W.
I appreciate this video so much! You made it very easy to complete my first successful dryer repair!
I love this video, fixed my dryer and totally laughed out loud at the commentary!😂😂😂😂
Great video and tutorial. My dryer had the exact same thing wrong with it.
I've successfully taken it apart . I'm waiting for the part to put it back together ❤ wish me luck!
Thanks, you just helped me level up another Dad skill.
Thank you sir. AWESOME video im a newbie to appliance repair. That helps so much
Facts is necessary., but commentary is delightful.
You made me look like a hero with the wife! This video is so spot on. Of course it save us a bunch of $$. What’s huge is man points to my wife. Thank you.
Thanks a ton for this video! It helped me diagnose my issue (bad thermal fuse) and how to take the dryer apart and more important put it back together.😀
Love the narration. Keep it up. I was gonna throw mine away n buy new BUT ill try n fix first. Mine thumps or rumbling sound so im guessing i need new belt too.
A loud rumblimg usually indicates one or more of the drum rollers needs replacing. Usually the right front one is first to go. I replaced only that one, and the noise went away.
Thanks to your awesome help, I was able to replace the thermal fuse. The dryer was producing heat immediately after replacing, but after a full load ran, it was no longer heating. I'm assuming the thermal fuse blew out again pretty quickly? The dryer seems perfectly clean-- no blockages that I can see. What would you replace next?
Thank you so much I really appreciate the time and effort that you spent on trying to help us guys DYII
You are a blessing and I honor you for sharing!!
I just watched a bunch of videos and fixed my 6 year-old Samsung dryer, and this LG video popped up. It's interesting that the basic design is so similar. And a lot of the components appear to be identical.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was exactly right.
Thanks! I had a tighter spot to work with because it was a stack up in a bathroom, but it ended up being that same heat sensor. I had to work through that access panel on the side and took off the vent in the back to work with both hands but it's working now!
I just finished servicing my LG dryer with bad rollers and got two left-over screws so just watching to see where those may belong. Found them, I think ... Thank :)
Wow, what a helpful video It made this job so easy.
I truly in enjoy way of dealing with the process on how to do this fun job.
Best tutorial I've seen thank you!!
