“Our LG dryer is not turning on. The power is working as the light turns on when you open the door”. Such call for help we’ve received from one of the clients. Let’s try to find out whether the owner can fix the issue themselves or needs professional assistance. If your dryer isn’t working that may be caused by A thermal fuse, start switch, drive motor, control board issues, and other breakdowns. Unfortunately, this particular occasion was caused by the control board malfunctioning. It is a serious breakdown as it needs replacement in 90% of cases. Electronic controlled dryers will use a circuit board to operate the dryer’s electrical components much like the timer in timer-controlled models. The circuit board is normally located in the dryer’s main control panel. If the dryer is not starting, then inspect this part as a potential cause. To test a dryer’s main control board disconnect your dryer from the power source. Remove your dryer’s top panel and/or control panel, depending on your model, to locate the main control board. Remove the main control board, we recommend taking a photo of the wiring connections to ensure you can properly reconnect them. Inspect the control board for signs of burning, damage, or parts that appear shorted out. If your board shows any of the symptoms above, you need a replacement main control board. Appliance issues can be a pain in the neck, and dryer repair is probably not on your list of favorite things to do, but patiently troubleshooting the problem can save you a lot of time and money in waiting for a professional repair service to come to your rescue.
Preventative care, even in small amounts, will help save on expensive repairs or even an appliance replacement later on.
