LG Dryer: Troubleshooting P5 error code

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:03:41 -0700

Have an LG WKHC152HWA stackable washer/dryer about a year and a half old. The dryer would not start and had a P5 error code a few months ago. Shut off breaker for awhile and it seemed to resolve the issue. Same problem again, turning off breaker will not fix it this time. There is a constant clicking noise coming from the right side of the dryer when the breaker is on, whether the dryer power button is on or off. Can't find repair videos for this specific model. Research suggested most common problems are likely control board, thermal fuse, or blown motor. I replaced the larger of the two control boards, the one on the right side - there is one mounted to the top of the dryer frame on both the left and right sides. Did not fix it. I have it completely torn down now, have tested the motor and it seems fine, cannot locate anything that appears to be a thermal fuse.

LG Dryer - DLE3: Press start and it clicks

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 13:42:42 -0700

When I start my dryer, select any of the drying options and press start, I hear a click but nothing happens. I see the dry light flashing. I've tested the thermal fuse and it has continuity. I have the LG DLE6100M.

LG TrueSteam: My dryer makes a buzzing noise when it starts.

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:40:27 -0700

The dryer makes a buzzing noise when it starts but works. However, after using it to dry two loads of laundry, when I press start for the third load, it buzzes and won’t start. If I wait about 30-45 minutes it will start again and works BUT after another two loads, it buzzes and won’t start. I always empty the lint trap after ever load and have taken the entire lint trap out and cleared out a lot of lint deep inside but that didn’t help. Any idea? The dryer is only 6 years old.

LG Dryer: Timer won't shut dryer off

I have the same problem on an LG DLE4870W dryer. The On-Off button and the Pause-Start button seem to work normally, but the drum continues until I shut it off at the breaker.

LG TrueSteam: Loud Noise, rumbling, low pitch when spinning the drum

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 16:57:13 -0700

My dryer makes a very loud rumbling noise when the drum spins. It’s a low pitch rumble (not the high pitch squealing that I have heard with prior dryer). It still dries the clothes and functions properly, but it’s just very loud, almost as if there was a heavy object spinning and bouncing with the drum (there’s only clothes). How can I fix it?

LG Dryer: LG Gas Dryer NO heat, replaced everything! What next?

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 14:48:25 -0700

Model: LG DLGX2651W

Hi Have spent hours reading and trying solutions to my dryer no heat issues... and I FEEL like I have replaced the major parts for this issue.
I have replaced all (3) thermostats: (2) on gas blower, (1) on vent, the thermistor, the control board, the ignitor, the flame sensor and the gas valve.
my dryer will run but no heat. I will write below a few clues to see if this helps at all.
We don't see the ignitor glowing (although its hard to see this)

1. At first I was getting very light heating (gas wasn't staying on long enough) and clothes were very wet and I often got flow sense warning, so I opened dryer cleaned out every inch of lint (unbelievable how much these dryers allow to pass through!) I was assuming restrictions were causing the gas to shut off and show flow sense warnings...
a lot of burnt lint on the gas area.. however NOTE, in my aggressive cleaning I broke the gas coil ignitor., so when I reassembled, and I got no heat, I assumed that was the reason. (also note NO clogs or restrictions in the house venting)
2. I replaced ignitor, as well as all the thermostats and thermistor (just to be sure)
3. reassembled whole dryer (sans top) pressed start to see if we had results. and YES we had good strong high heat! YAY.. Stopped dyer, put on the top, screwed in place. Pressed start.. ZERO heat!!! WTH
4. opened dryer, made sure nohting was loose, I then ran all diagnostics and tests in the manuals, every test checked out fine. I ORDERED a new control board just in case, since I read these can short out? gas valve and flame sensor.
5. replaced all the above. still NO heat. NO ignitor glowing.

few little extras: I read somewhere there are some sensors on the motor? anyone know about that?
AM I missing something? a reset somewhere that was tripped? thanks you.. ready to throw this OUT... I will be so mad if its a $25 part... I have the schematics I can post if that helps.

LG Dryer: My LG DLE2301R Dryer will not turn on!

Thu, 02 May 2024 07:49:26 -0700

Okay so I powered on my dryer like normal and when I pressed the start button the whole dryer shut off. The light in the drum comes on when you open the door. I have checked our fuse box and they are all fine tried doing a hard reset as the lg troubleshooting people recommended did not help. Feeling frustrated has worked fine all along never had a problem worked on the clothes prior to the next load to get dried then stopped please help!!!!

LG Dryer: dryer won't power on

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:11:09 -0700

I have a LG electric dryer that won't power on but the interior lights work fine. I've have the thermal fuse and high limit,they were both good, I've also had the door switch and start switch checked,they too were fine. Has anyone had this same problem that could maybe help me out? I would hate to go purchase something that cost alot of money and it not be it. Thanks
