I pulled the circuit board out of this part and used a piece of duct tape to secure the broken plastic keeper that aligns the plastic button actuator with the switch on the circuit board. I've searched for this part too and can't find it. You can buy the whole control panel for $150. The duct tape might last a couple days or a couple years. As long as the plastic holder doesn't become dislodged it should last a long time. Another reason why I hate plastic parts - they break. Good luck in finding this part - if you ever do post your solution here.

    The duct tape didn't last. The plastic piece became dislodged and we could not start the dryer. I soldered a two-conductor wire onto the circuit board behind the start switch and installed a Radio shack momentary push button switch on the back of the dryer where it can't be seen but can be felt by the operator. Total cost $2.79 to fix.

Have an LG Bluetooth headphone set that voice activation of calls has stopped working. Must use the iPhone to look up numbers and dial. Not safe. Please help

If you do not have Data, SIRI will not work, so change your phone to 'Voice Control.

  1. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button.
  2. Under Press and Hold to Speak, select one of these options: Siri: Siri will respond when you press and hold the Home button. Voice Control: Classic Voice Control will respond when you press and hold the Home button. This will also turn off Siri.

My LG-gs390 phone touch screen stops functioning, not responding when i press the icons.

Hello Snssk237,

This is most likely hardware fatigue. The only option i have for you is to take out the battery, with the battery out press and hold the power button for a minute or two and then put the batter back in.


Thank you

How do I get it out of lock mode

If the model number you have listed is correct, you turn the Child Lock feature on/off by pressing and holding the "Clear/Off" button for three seconds. The instructions are on page 28 of the Owner/Operator Manual.

If your model number is different from the one you have this question posted under, please post back with your correct information so that I may be able to provide you with better assistance.

I hope this helps you.
