4 PACK ROLLER ASSEMBLY
★★★★★
★★★★★
(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.

★★★★★
★★★★★
(103)
Part #5231EL1001C
This lint filter is designed to capture loose lint during dryer operation, helping maintain airflow and drying efficiency. Positioned within the dryer drum, it plays a vital role in preventing lint buildup that can affect performance or pose a fire risk. Over time, the filter may become clogged or damaged due to regular use. Constructed with a white plastic frame and fine mesh screen, this replacement filter is sold individually and is compatible with select dryer models. Installation is simple and tool-free: remove the old filter and insert the new one into the designated slot to restore optimal function.
Thermal Fuse – Part Number: 6931EL3003D
$19.30

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.
Moisture Sensor – Part Number: 6500EL3001A

Moisture Sensor
★★★★★
★★★★★
(6)
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.

$103.35
Special Order
Dryer Thermistor
Part #6323EL2001B
This dryer thermistor temperature sensor helps monitor and regulate the temperature inside a dryer. This part includes the wire harness. If your dryer overheats, does not produce enough heat, or takes too long to dry, then the thermistor might be defective or damaged. This can cause a fault code and could begin either prolonging or shortening drying time. As a safety precaution, make sure to unplug the dryer from the power source before beginning this installation, and wear gloves to protect your hands. Refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for further guidance.

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.

If your dryer is no longer heating properly, or will not start, this thermostat may have been used and is no longer operational.

Why does the check filter light still flash on the dryer after I clean the filter ?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hey Carolyn, thank you for your inquiry. We have researched your model and found that if the check filter light is still blinking after you clean your lint filter then you may need to reset the dryer by unplugging it for a minute and then holding down the start/pause button for 8 seconds while it is unplugged. This will reset the error code for check filter. If you are still facing the same issue you may need to replace its lint filter part number PS3527575. We hope this helps. If you need help placing an order, customer service is available 7 days a week. Thanks again for your great question.

How to check belt and how to remove the back plate?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Ted, thank you for contacting us. We have researched and found instructions related to the removal of the bake plate. Preassemble an elbow to the next duct section and secure all joints with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the elbow faces away from the dryer. Insert the elbow duct assembly through the side opening and press it onto the adapter duct. Secure in place with duct tape. Be sure that the male end of the duct protrudes to connect the remaining ductwork. Attach the cover plate to the back of the dryer with the included screw. Also, the instructions related to the checking of the belt. Pull the belt from the right over to the left. Lay it right across the top of the idler. Push that idler to the left and pull the belt down on the inside of the idler, now around the motor pulley. Just rotate that drum a couple of turns to make sure that it is staying true then the pulley wheel will turn and the belt will stay on both pulleys. Verify that it is staying in its track on the drum, and next put the front bulkhead and cross-member support in. We hope this solves your problem!

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....
