Dryer Lint Filter – Part Number: ADQ56656401
$36.85
In Stock
Dryer Lint Filter
★★★★★
★★★★★
(178)
Part #ADQ56656401
The Dryer's Lint Filter is used to collect lint during the dryer cycle as it passes through the dryer vent, in order to prevent damage to the machine. This manufacturer-approved part comes in gray, measures around 12 inches wide by 11 inches high, and is easy to install. It slides into the lint filter slot in your dryer. If there is visible damage to the screen then it's time to replace the part. We recommend that you thoroughly clean the lint filter before every load, but even with good maintenance, this hard-working part is often damaged or worn over time. If your dryer isn't drying quickly, the filter may be responsible. The manufacturer has made an authorized substitution to the lint filter. Special details: When replacing lint screen ADQ56656401 you may need to also replace lint screen housing MCK49049101 and lint screen guide MEA49050001 to prevent items from catching on the lint screen, depending on your model.

★★★★★
★★★★★
(82)
Part #4581EL2002L
This part is sold individually. The drum support roller is found in your dryer. It is used to hold the drum in place in the cabinet while letting the drum rotate on the support rollers. It is recommended that you replace both rollers at once. You may notice that this part needs to be replaced if you are experiencing a squeaking noise, which could be due to the bearing going bad. The bearing could be severely damaged if you hear a very loud thumping noise, much like you would when you are drying a pair of shoes.
Thermal Fuse – Part Number: 6931EL3003D

Thermal Fuse
★★★★★
★★★★★
(28)
Part #6931EL3003D
This thermal fuse acts as a high-limit thermostat, and shuts off the heating element when the dryer overheats by cutting off power to the dryer. If the thermal fuse has blown, the dryer will not start. These fuses cannot be reset, so if yours has blown, you will need to replace it. A common reason for the thermal fuse to blow on a dryer is if the exhaust vent on your dryer is restricted or blocked. Hot air will be confined in the dryer and the fuse will trip and stop the electricity from flowing to the gas valve or heating element.

Part #6500EL3001A
The sensor controls the temperature in your dryer and will turn off once your clothes have reached the desired dryness level. If you notice that your dryer is not giving off enough heat to dry the clothes or is taking too long to dry, this may indicate that a repair to the senor is required. To access this part, you will need to remove the front bulk head. To remove this, you will need to remove the screws securing the top. Uninstall the screws that support the control panel and lift. Remove screws holding the support bracket in place so you can detach this piece. Detach the wire harness and remove the wire, then set the bracket aside. You will now open the dryer door and release it by taking out the bottom two screws. Disconnect the wire harness and moisture sensor wire harness, remove screws from front bulk head, and remove screws that secure the duct housing. You should be able to completely remove the bulk head. You will find the sensor underneath the lint filter grill, which will also need to be removed.

This is a thermostat for various models of LG dryers. This thermostat specifically is the rear high limit thermostat, and it is designed as a safety device to shut off power to your dryer if the internal temperature gets too high. This thermostat comes with a mounting bracket, so you only need the securing screws to fully install it, along with connecting the appropriate wire, after removing the old thermostat. If your dryer is no longer heating properly, or will not start, this thermostat may have been used and is no longer operational. Replacing this thermostat will require you to partly disassemble your dryer, as it is located on the heating element housing. This thermostat is a genuine OEM part and is sold individually.

When I turn the dryer on it seems to light up on the control panel properly, however there are some problems.1. After selecting the drying mode the time display still flashes and the mode light turns off after the start button is pushed. 2. If the dry level buttons are pushed then the time dry lights advance 3. when other selectors are pushed then the time lights advance. It would seem that one of the control cars is bad. What would you suggest
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. Normally this is an indication the Main PCB Board needs to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Freda - For model number 79681182310
July 27, 2025
Hello. I did two loads of laundry just fine. Then on the third load the dryer decided to give me problems. The dryer turns on, the motor engages, but the drum will not spin. If I manually try to turn the drum, it takes effort to make it spin. I would appreciate any assistance on diagnosing the problem. Thank you so much.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Freda, thank you for reaching out. Check the belt for signs of wear or damage. If it is fine, the issue could be with the idler pulley, part number PS3523032. It helps to tension the drive belt. If it is not functioning properly, it can prevent the drum from spinning. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Dryer will not turn on . It has power because the light inside dryer comes on when the door is open. Unplugged for 60 seconds and plugged back in and did not help.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Charles, thank you for your question. We suggest replacing the Thermal Fuse PS3530485. The next most common issue would be a defective Door Switch PS3529308. If either the thermal fuse or the door switch has blown, the dryer will not start. We are pleased to have been able to help.

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer. I found I could reach the heating system by removing the lint tube in the back of the dryer. I put my I phone with the light on inside the back of the dryer and tested the connections to see if all were working. The thermal f use was not working. I removed the two wires , red on top and white on the bottom. Then used a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two mounting screws and removed the fuse. I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.

Screeching during operation

Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piec e of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
