20 Most Recent LG DLE5977 Stainless Steel Electric Dryer Questions & Answers

Check for excellent air flow. Could be an object caught in fan.

What is the manufacturer of your dryer?

Best thing to do is to leave it unplugged for awhile, at least 15-20 mins then go from there. I'm not sure there is a reset. If there is it should be in the manual that came with the unit, if you don't have the book there are alot of websites that have copies for a small fee.

The only way is to remove the back panel and do a visual check but be careful...

The drum belt is probably broken or off the motor shaft.

It could be a couple of things there could be lint on the motor shaft which will cause the motor to run hot and make to over temperature switch open or the hot air output on the back of the dryer may be plugged, just before or around the blower. Good luck

We had the exact same problem with our LG dryer but the crack was in the front near the door. The service tech as well as the engineer from the LG R&D department both agree that it is a manufacturing defect...the result of a poor welding job by LG. The service tech replaced the dryer tub today and the dryer is as quiet as when we first bought it. I paid for the part and the repair myself to get it fixed quickly. The service tech said to use it with the crack could be a fire hazard since the heating element is open under the tub. However, the service company we use will reimburse me for the cost of the part if LG agrees to reimburse them. I am in the process of working with the resolution department to get them to agree to pay for this part. It is no longer under warranty but since there engineer has agreed that it is a manufacturer defect, I am hopeful I will get my money back!

a drum wheel make be frozen causing it to smell and have black residue from the rubber. here is a video of how to check and disassemble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_ZK5f-WS8

the check filter isnt an error but a reminder. it will always blink regardless to remind you to clean the filter

Could be one of the "overheat thermostat switches" has failed, or is failing.Could also be a big buildup of lint inside the machine (where you cannot see it) causing the switches to trip. In the back or the bottom of the machine are from 3 to 7 "overheat thermostat switches" that are put there to prevent fire. When the get hot, if they are bad, they will shut off the dryer until they cool off. Kinda sounds like one is "trippin' ". If you choose to fix it yourself, you'll need a good electrical test instrument and several tools to take it all apart. A question to "fixya" might get someone to tell you how step-by-step.Be blessed.

replace rollers on drum

The sure don't make things like they use to. The only thing I would think is that the drier is getting too hot or the switches are poorly made. Might check the exhaust duct or see if you can find a better quality limit switch.

Hi.Check door switch, drive belt and drive motor. Door switch can be tested using an Ohm meter, drive belt is tested visually and the motor can be Ohmed or energized.
