DLG5988W LG Dryer - Instructions

Watched a You Tube video

remove filter , unscrew old screen , clean old area and screw back screen and replace filter

I found that the screws that hold it in were a bit too short. After several cleanings I re inserted the screen only to have it dislodge and break. I ordered a new part and after using a drift pin and lamp I found that the screws were too short and the threads needed to secure it were worn. Longer screws solved the problem.

Pull off the top and front of the dryer and reached in and replaced the part it was easy. Had to clean all the dryer out real good with from the lint

Pull out the worn out dryer filter and replaced it with a new filter that I purchased through Partselect.com.
It fit perfectly.

I took the old lint filter out and put it in the garbage. I the put the new lint filter in the dryer. Problem solved

Replaced idle pulley wheel, worn drum belt and all 4 rollers (1 frozen) due to dryer age. Site video re general disassembly/re-assembly easily adapted to this model and very helpful with exception of replacement of drum rollers. New rollers received (AGM75510755) were pre-mounted on included shafts. This required removal of existing roller shafts to replace with new shaft/roller units. Site video shows placing a new roller on existing shafts after removing a plastic retaining clip. New roller/shaft assembly is a better option and fortunately I did not order extra retainer clips! Rear drum roller shafts have small carved out space to fit a box end wrench to remove shaft nut. Watch out for sharp edges on internal steel parts!

Part showed up in 2 days and repair took 2 min. Very easy. Thank you!!

There’s all sorts of videos on it I watched. It was actually very simple

Exchange

Followed the instruction on video.was great after three parts now is OK .we have heat.still cheaper than having it service.

Pull filter out and replaced with new one.

Completely had to dismantle the dryer to get to the igniter.
The screw holding the igniter is a SOB to get at for extraction, and even worse putting back.,

With a thin flat screwdriver I was able to pry out the old door switch, I replaced it with the new door switch, pushed back in dryer and so far is working since I installed a month ago.

An appliance repairman determined the problem which was that it needed new pulleys and thankfully PartSelect carried them. He installed them in an hour and my dryer runs fine now.
