LG Dryer Repair – Louisville, OH (DLEX2655V)

A Louisville homeowner called when their LG dryer spins but it will not heat. When we arrived at Clay Street Northeast, we found the thermal fuse had failed, which is often caused by a poor cycling thermostat.

The Problem

The customer reported their LG dryer spins but it will not heat. The drum was turning normally, but no warm air was coming through the system.

Diagnosis

The thermal fuse had failed. This is often caused by a poor cycling thermostat that doesn’t regulate temperature properly, causing the safety fuse to blow.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5301EL1001S — Heater Assembly
• Work performed: Installing a new heat element assembly which includes the high limit thermal fuse and cycling thermostat
• Result: Dryer is operating in cycling correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG dryers are generally well-built appliances, and this model DLEX2655V is from their reliable line. A failed heating element assembly is a common repair that typically gives you several more years of service, making it a worthwhile investment compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent thermal fuse failures
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to maintain proper airflow
• Avoid overloading the drum, which can cause cycling thermostats to work harder
