A Canton homeowner called about their LG dryer that would not turn on with no power, even after trying to reset the circuit breaker. Our diagnosis revealed an electrical issue that traced back to recent air conditioning work.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer will not turn on, no power, tried resetting circuit breaker. Nothing happened. The unit had not worked since installing a new air conditioner the previous week.
Diagnosis
We found the unit missing one leg of power. The AC company had installed small double breakers instead of a regular double breaker. It appeared that both the AC and dryer were missing one leg of power due to this improper electrical installation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Diagnosed electrical issue caused by improper breaker installation
- Result: Customer advised to call AC company to correct the electrical work
Is It Worth Repairing?
This LG dryer model DLEX760WE didn’t need any appliance repair — the issue was with the home’s electrical installation. Once the AC company corrects the breaker installation to restore proper 240V power to both appliances, this dryer should function normally for many more years.
Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers
- Check that your dryer is receiving proper 240V power — both legs must be active for normal operation
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating
- Inspect the exhaust vent annually and clear any lint buildup that could restrict airflow
