LG Dryer Repair Question - David Stone - 07-15-2018
I’ve got an LG DLE2514W dryer. About 12 years old. It’s not getting hot I’ve done some googling, and it seems that this model doesn’t have a fuse reset button. (Although most other LG dryers do.). I looked inside the two access panels and didn’t see any thing.
Anyone know if I’m missing something obvious? I figured Id ask before I take the thing apart to replace the thermistor.

Need a new thermistor.

Yeah. I saw that. That’s why I was hoping for an easier solution to try first.
Also, anyone know whether a home inspector would open up my dryer? I had an inspector in yesterday. The dryer worked in the morning. Didn’t work in the evening after the guy left.

Running it empty can overheat it.

So I took my dryer apart and replaced the thermister and the thermostat. Still no heat. But I got it all back together with only 4 extra screws!
Why I didn't get a replacement for the hi-limit thermostat, I don't know.
So -- should I try replacing the hi-limit thermostat, or just bite the bullet and call a repairman?
Also, I couldn't get the back panel off, even with all the screws out. It seemed like the panel was stuck to the side panel. I could pry it apart, but that would leave a lot of bent metal.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If you're not using tools to diagnose the problem, you can do one of two things; Keep replacing parts until it starts working or call the man.
