Common LG Dryer Repair Issues We Can Fix

Our technicians handle all types of LG dryer repairs, from basic fixes to more complex problems. Whether you have a traditional dryer or a combination washer-dryer unit, we can diagnose the issue and make repairs quickly.

Dryer Fails to Heat Up

If your LG dryer drum turns but doesn't generate enough heat to dry clothes, you may need to replace the thermal fuse, thermostat, or heating element. Regular LG dryer service, like cleaning the lint screen and ventilation, can prevent these components from failing. For gas dryers, the issue could be related to the gas supply.

Dryer Vibration or Noise Issues

A dryer making unusual noises or vibrating excessively may have a faulty drum seal or worn-out parts like glides, rollers, or bearings. These parts can wear out over time, especially if the dryer is overloaded or if foreign objects are left in pockets.

Dryer Not Running Properly

If your LG dryer won’t turn on, check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure power is reaching the machine. If the dryer has power but still doesn’t run, the problem could be a broken door switch, a faulty thermal fuse, or a failed motor. If the drum doesn’t spin but the motor is running, it’s likely a drive belt issue.

Dryer Runs but Shuts Off Quickly

If your LG dryer starts but shuts off quickly, it could be due to a faulty thermostat caused by poor ventilation or a clogged lint screen. A malfunctioning thermostat could also lead to overheating, which is a potential fire hazard. Regular LG dryer cleaning can help prevent this issue.

Preventive Maintenance for LG Dryers

Routine LG dryer service and maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your dryer. With the Sears Home Services Washer and Dryer Clean & Maintain package, our technicians will inspect your dryer for proper functioning, perform LG dryer cleaning of internal components, and check for wear and tear.

LG Dryer Repair FAQ

Is It Better to Replace or Repair an LG Dryer?

LG dryers can last for a decade or more with proper maintenance. If your dryer is less than eight years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new dryer, it's usually more economical to repair it. When considering a repair, it’s helpful to know the cost of a replacement unit, including installation.

How Much Does LG Dryer Repair Cost?

The cost of LG dryer repair depends on the issue, parts required, and time needed to complete the service. The average dryer repair ranges from $200 to $265. Common repairs, like replacing a thermostat or thermal fuse, can cost around $150, while more expensive repairs, like replacing the electronic control board, can exceed $400.

If you choose not to repair the dryer, you’ll only pay a service appointment fee and may be eligible for a discount on a new model. For homeowners with a Sears Home Services appliance warranty plan, many services or replacements are covered, and all repairs are guaranteed for 180 days.

Do You Need an Appliance Repair Expert for an LG Dryer Problem?

Basic troubleshooting can often be done by referring to the owner’s manual, but if you’re unsure or facing a more complex issue, it’s best to consult a professional technician. Sears Home Services technicians can repair issues like failed heating elements, faulty thermostats, and malfunctioning control boards. Our team stocks a wide range of replacement parts for LG dryers and other major appliances.

What Is the Best Way to Prevent Expensive LG Dryer Repairs?

To avoid costly repairs, clean the lint filter after each use and periodically clean the vent at the back of the dryer and the outlet from your home. Regular LG dryer cleaning can prevent lint buildup, which can cause the dryer to overheat and lead to part failures. Scheduling annual maintenance with an appliance repair service can help ensure your dryer runs efficiently for years.
