In this video I show you how I did some troubleshooting to fix a No Heat condition on my LG Gas Dryer.
Aside from the symptoms listed in the video, we also had a significantly higher gas bill the month prior to it failing to heat.
Here is the link to the Dryer Disassembly video that was helpful for me:
• How to Replace LG Dryer Heater Assemb...
*ALL Testing was done with the unit turned off, gas line disconnected, and exhaust duct removed.
Shut off power and gas line if you are going to move the dryer!
Air dry mode does not turn on the heat
To disconnect the wires from the terminals, use a needle nose plier, grab from the metal connector (NOT the wire) and pull hard. A 6 Inch needle nose pliers should be good enough.
To identify specific part numbers, search for your dryer's model name and the words "parts list".
To find your dyer model number fast, open the door and it should be near where the door seals.
Check Amazon and Ebay for parts prices.
You cannot test the coils on this type of gas valve using the continuity test. You also cannot purchase these coils if they go bad. Your best option is to buy a used gas valve on eBay because a brand new gas valve will be a couple of hundred dollars.
You have heat but clothes are taking a long time to dry?
Clean the exhaust ducts going away from dryer
Clean the ducts inside the dryer
Check air leaks on the door seals turn off lights and shine light through door to see if light leaks into the drum
Clean humidity sensor near the door where the screen filter is located.
I don't think you can find the OEM high limit thermostat with the manual reset button on it. I searched for the part number and found they only sell it with the auto reset feature, which is fine.
