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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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 CZcams 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.
thanks so much! I'm not one for CZcams "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!
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!!! :)
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🙏😅
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!!
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!!
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
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
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
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.
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.
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).
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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👍
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
Narrating what you’re doing is just fine. You’ll want to edit the videos a bit more perhaps but hey, I’m no CZcamsr I’m just trying to fix my dryer and I certainly appreciate you
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 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.
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.

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.
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!
_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
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 :)
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.
Tried this fix and now I’ve gone through two fuses in two months. Odd. First time figured it was the shirt stuck around the lint pipe. But then two cycles later it’s no longer getting hot. I did the same thing in the video. Replaced the middle fuse. Should I have replaced the “thermostat” as well? The larger fuse in the back?
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 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 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?
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!
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.😀
Great video. I followed your instructions and was able to replace all the parts listed. The problem is the dryer will turn on, but the drum will not spin (it spins by hand). What can I check or replace to get the dryer to work?
Thanks. It was easy even though I struggled a little only because it was out of my comfort zone. But I did it and cleaned my ducts also and they were clogged. That's on me for not cleaning them out. But if your unsure if you can do it trust me. If I can do it so can you. Belt was tricky but then I realized I had to go the opposite of what I was looking at and once I figured out that dumbass mistake everything went back together nicely. Thx. To be honest I thought I can't watch this because of the talking but I'm glad I did it was like having a buddy right next to me.
great video but another easy access to the thermostat is opening the vent at the back of the machine and easily you can replace it without opening all those parts in the front
I was gonna get one of these, but after all the hassle you went through I rather not i stick with my admiral elementes thermal fuse are in back and super accessible I enjoyed video
My lg dlex3370w drum turns and the blower runs, but no heat. However, the continuity in the hi limit thermostat and thermal cut off are both good and have ohms reading of 0.0. The resistance reading for the heating elements are: Red and Blue: 19.9 ohms Red and Yellow: 19.5 ohms Blue and Yellow: 38.8-39.9 ohms Blower fan thermometer: 0.0 ohms Blower fan cut off: 0.0 ohms These codes are showing when I place it into diagnostics mode: 18:88, L18, U04, d04. Do these indicate any issue? Neither thermistor increases in temp, and in diagnostic mode it shows they’ll sit between 27-28C I was hoping for an easy fix. But yeah idk what’s going on.
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 have a calming voice like Bob Ross. I feel like curling up by a fire and drinking coco.
Thank you for this. I was about to buy a new dryer. I figured after ten years and four kids this dryer didn’t owe me anything.
A respectful wording to the machine.
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.

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.
You made my first time ever messing with a dryer pretty damn easy, wasn't even the same model but came apart just the same, thank you to you and LG

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.
Teacher at heart!!! Clear and concise.
Thank you for the simple instructions! Saved me a few hundred in repairs or buying a new dryer. And I'm a subscriber now.
So helpful, saved us a lot of money, plus the fact we were going to have to wait 7 weeks for a technician!
I just love people who love and know what they do.
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
Thank you.
THANK YOU
Just saved me an element
What should I do if it doesn’t but I replaced the heating element?
Thank you was about to replace the element

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!
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.
This video is amazing, you explain very well. Thank you, I fixed my dryer from watching this. Thank you, much appreciated
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!
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.
Wow.. you saved me so much money. My high limit fuse went out just like this one and I was able to fix my dryer for $14. Thanks! Love the videos!
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.
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!
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!!!
Giggled with the voiceover. Thanks for investing time, helping others!
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!
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👍
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
You do a great job explaining and filming everything! Thank you!
Narrating what you’re doing is just fine. You’ll want to edit the videos a bit more perhaps but hey, I’m no CZcamsr I’m just trying to fix my dryer and I certainly appreciate you
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 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.
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.
Thank you!! My dryer had the same problem. Went and test the thermal fuse, open! Ordered, installed, up and running.
I've successfully taken it apart . I'm waiting for the part to put it back together ❤ wish me luck!
Starting my day with a relaxing thirty minute dryer disassembly video. 😂 Thank you so much for this my dryer is currently haunted.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Your tutorial helped me diagnose and repair my 13 year old LG dryer.
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!
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.
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!
Great content. You saved me from having to buy a new dryer. Oh, and I have no issues listening to you talk! 😀
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.
_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
Great video and tutorial. My dryer had the exact same thing wrong with it.
Thanks, you just helped me level up another Dad skill.
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 :)
Best CZcams help video I’ve watched. 5 star!
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.
Nice video, this will help me fix my dryer and you kept it interesting. Thanks.
You are the man! Great video! I really appreciate it. I'm not a pro, so it took me 3hrs, but it got done!
Tried this fix and now I’ve gone through two fuses in two months. Odd. First time figured it was the shirt stuck around the lint pipe. But then two cycles later it’s no longer getting hot. I did the same thing in the video. Replaced the middle fuse. Should I have replaced the “thermostat” as well? The larger fuse in the back?
I love this video, fixed my dryer and totally laughed out loud at the commentary!😂😂😂😂
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 !
Loved this, keep up the human like chatting while working on it.
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.
I truly in enjoy way of dealing with the process on how to do this fun job.
Thank you kind Sir for this video. Got our dryer fixed for minimal money. Thanks a million!!
Thank you for this video. I was able to follow your instructions and replace my heating element.
I appreciate this video so much! You made it very easy to complete my first successful dryer repair!
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?
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!
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.😀
Check the wall outlet. A poor connection can allow the display to light up and the drum to spin but the heater still won't operate.
How would you check the outlet safely though?
Excellent video! Watched/followed your video, bought a $25 igniter and the dryer works like a charm! Thank you.
Great video - thanks!
25:26 - looks like you need a tray (ideally magnetized) to hold all the screws! :-)
What would it mean if my two back fuses has full current (0) and the fron has 20/40 amperage?
You da man! Well spoken. Clear and precise. Keep doing how you do. I'm watching all your videos man. Good job
Thank you sir. AWESOME video im a newbie to appliance repair. That helps so much
I'm measuring some resistance across the heater wires, but not much. Should I be concerned about that??
I'm getting 20, 20, and 40 on the Blue and Yellow
Great video. I followed your instructions and was able to replace all the parts listed. The problem is the dryer will turn on, but the drum will not spin (it spins by hand). What can I check or replace to get the dryer to work?
Thanks. It was easy even though I struggled a little only because it was out of my comfort zone. But I did it and cleaned my ducts also and they were clogged. That's on me for not cleaning them out. But if your unsure if you can do it trust me. If I can do it so can you. Belt was tricky but then I realized I had to go the opposite of what I was looking at and once I figured out that dumbass mistake everything went back together nicely. Thx. To be honest I thought I can't watch this because of the talking but I'm glad I did it was like having a buddy right next to me.
great video but another easy access to the thermostat is opening the vent at the back of the machine and easily you can replace it without opening all those parts in the front
I was gonna get one of these, but after all the hassle you went through I rather not i stick with my admiral elementes thermal fuse are in back and super accessible I enjoyed video
My lg dlex3370w drum turns and the blower runs, but no heat. However, the continuity in the hi limit thermostat and thermal cut off are both good and have ohms reading of 0.0.
The resistance reading for the heating elements are:
Red and Blue: 19.9 ohms
Red and Yellow: 19.5 ohms
Blue and Yellow: 38.8-39.9 ohms
Blower fan thermometer: 0.0 ohms
Blower fan cut off: 0.0 ohms
These codes are showing when I place it into diagnostics mode: 18:88, L18, U04, d04.
Do these indicate any issue?
Neither thermistor increases in temp, and in diagnostic mode it shows they’ll sit between 27-28C
I was hoping for an easy fix. But yeah idk what’s going on.
I'm having pretty much the same issue
Thank you I just watched your video and am ready to tackle. Not sure how to use the meter thingy though. Think I will replace all fuses.
Thanks for all the talking. That was a damn good video.
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!
You are a blessing and I honor you for sharing!!
