Don - For model number DLE7177RM
December 23, 2019
LG dryer will not turn on and it was operating last night. Power is coming to the outlet, the cord and block show power. Tried to reset by holding down the power button for 5 seconds then the start button too. I noticed that the circuit boarded are not available. Does this mean time for a new dryer.Thank you for your time.
Hello Don and thank you for writing.
You should try a hard reset first. Go to your breaker box, turn the breaker for your unit off, wait 5 minutes and turn the breaker back on.
If that does not help it might be a faulty drive motor PS3523290 you should check for signs of damage, and replace it if needed. Or time for a new dryer. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
Went to start dryer for second load today and it just hums, does not start, also smelled like something was burning so I unplugged it.
Hello Crystal, thank you for reaching out. We have researched the model and it seems that the issue is with the drive belt, part number PS11705916. To get an indication if the dryer belt is defective, reach inside the dryer and try to turn the drum manually. If the drum turns easily without resistance, the dryer belt is likely responsible. We hope this information helps!
So I've got an issue with my dryer, LG DLE7177RM(rm refers to the red model I imagine) and I have to try to fix it myself, I live very remotely on an isolated island near Alaska and there are no repair techs anywhere close and LG wont do anything but refer me to an authorized repair dealer who when I call say they cant do anything over the phone that someone would have to come to my house. Blah. So when I press the power button the lights come on, I can select any feature I want, then I can press start and the dryer starts working. After about 10 20 minutes it simply turns off and no button will work for almost an hour. After that time if I press a button the LCD and lights will light up again and I can do the same thing as before. Doing this it takes 3 to 4 times before my load is dried. Pain in the butt!
Hello Randy, Thank you for the question. This sounds like it is over heater or thinks it is over heating, and shutting down to cool before it allows you to start again. First step is to open the cabinet and clean any lint build up, as well as the lint ducts and the Vent Hose. Make sure there are no dips in the hose to collect condensation and lint. In most cases over heating is caused by poor air flow. If all is clear and the issues persists, you can test the Dryer Thermistor. This dryer thermistor temperature sensor helps monitor and regulate the temperature inside a dryer. When testing you will test for resistance. At 70 degrees the resistance should be 9.3K ohms, 90 degrees would be 7.7K ohms. at 100 degrees it should be 6.2K ohms, 120 degrees 4.3K ohms. If the thermistor reads outside of range then it needs replaced. If the Thermistor is good, you can test the Thermal Fuse. Your meter should read 0 ohms of resistance if the fuse is good. We hope this helps!

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged 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

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.

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
... Read moree 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....
