Sears Home Services recommendations for a dryer that is not spinning

When the dryer is not spinning it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts, we recommend scheduling LG dryer repair with a local Sears Home Services professional who can perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dryer failures.

What to look out for with a dryer not spinning diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dryer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

LG Dryer Won’t Spin Troubleshooting

Follow these basic troubleshooting tips when your LG dryer won’t spin.

• Check the control to see if the Control Lock is enabled. If it is, press and hold the Lock button for 3 seconds to disable that feature so the dryer will start and spin.
• Reset the dryer control. Unplug the dryer and press the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds. Plug the power cord back in to restore electrical power and the dryer may start and spin properly.
• Make sure the dryer door is fully shut. The cycle won’t start unless the control detects that the door is fully closed. Push in firmly on the dryer door to fully close it. Make sure nothing is blocking the door from shutting.

If these basic troubleshooting tips don’t help resolve the spinning problem, a blown thermal fuse, bad control panel, broken drive belt, defective drive motor, failed electronic control board or wiring failure can be the problem when your LG dryer won’t spin.

Schedule dryer repair service to have a Sears Home Services technician get your dryer going again when you’re unable to resolve the problem yourself.
