LG DLE2514 Electric Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I just had to say thanku for posting this! This absolutely worked for me on my dryer and I let out a huge sigh of relief. Honestly, probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out on my own! Thanks again!!

The breaker won't reset? Or the dryer? If it.s the breaker, it is protecting you from a short circuit and a possible electric shock. Are you sure you want to try to fix this without a professional?

Is it a mechanical timer you turn (the "clickety-clank"-kind) to set the time? Sounds like something in it has been worn out. Shouldn't be too hart to get a replacement for it,t and you should also probably be able to replace it yourself unless you're very "un-handy", or want to play it safe.

The cooling light stays on so that is not the issue. Check to make sure you have power in both hot legs of your 220v power outlet.

If you're talking about the moisture sensor, it's located in the lint filter casing. Remove your lint filter and look inside the casing. About 4 to 6 inches down on the right-hand drum side of the casing and running to the center, you should see two flat metal arcs following the contour of the casing. These metal arcs are the moisture sensors

Air flow in the duct work is restricted... and the dryer sensor thinks that the filter is clogged.

You will need to take a fluffy cleaning wand and, with the filter removed, try loosening up some of the accumulated line in the duct.

Next, remove the lint pipe from the wall connector and try cleaning it and the pipe for as much distance as you can reach.

Finally, go outside and check the vent. It needs to be clean and clear of obstructions... also, needs to close when the machine is off.
You can do testing on the outside vent with "air dry" setting - hot air is not required... Keep cleaning ductwork until the outside vent passes air freely.

After air flow is restored, the sensor in the "VENT" alarm will act nice.....and stay off

Check the thermal fuse, start switch on the control panel and door switch because all three are more likely the cause of the dryer not starting up. The door switch is often the culprit in this type of fault, although a faulty drive motor is not ruled out.

Check the drum belt.

This information is from the manual: Child Lock can be used to prevent your children from changing options on control panel while the dryer is running. When child lock is enabled, all the buttons will be locked and Child Lock glows. To enable Child Lock, Press and Hold OPTION for 3 seconds, A single beep tone is heard and Child Lock is displayed on the status window. To disable child Lock, press and hold OPTION for 3 seconds again.

Do you have a owners manual...?

There is a switch on the motor that could be bad or restricted with excess lint build up.

If you need a new drum. Follow the instructions below.

Ordered drum from Sears parts. 3045EL1002D
Cost of 85$ + 15 to ship. It came in 5 days.

Here is how to do it on a DLE2514W. Takes about an hour. I only used a phillips screw

driver. Take your time and look over the situation. I hope that I rememberd

everything. Good luck.

Cool - no pun intended. The timer mechanism is not working properly.

There are more parts to check and figure out this issue. Check door switch, then temp thermostat.

This error code tell you the safety thermostat is not working. This part is on the top of element cover. Replace new one.

If the sensor was replaced but not help, the issue may be from control board. You do not say why you did replace a sensor, this part is hardly to be faulty.

Your question does not clear. When it cut off, does it still run or running without heat. If it is totally shut down, the issue may be from the motor as it was over loaded.
