We received a call from Alliance, OH about an LG dryer that wouldn’t turn on. The start button sticks and doesn’t turn on. After arriving on Edison Street, we found the power button was stuck and preventing normal operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their LG dryer’s start button sticks and doesn’t turn on. The unit appeared completely unresponsive when the power button was pressed.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the power button was stuck in position. This mechanical issue prevented the dryer from receiving the start signal and beginning its cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Loosened the stuck power button
- Result: Dryer is operating correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG dryers are generally reliable appliances, and this DLE7177RM model represents good build quality. A simple mechanical adjustment like this extends the unit’s life significantly without major expense, making it an excellent repair choice.
Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers
- Clean control panel buttons monthly with a damp cloth to prevent buildup that can cause sticking
- Check and clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow
