LG No Heat Condition (Electric or Gas)

The dryer runs but does not heat; clothes remain cold and damp at the end of the cycle; no error code is displayed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed heating element (electric), Blown thermal fuse, Tripped high-limit thermostat, Failed gas igniter or gas valve coils (gas models)

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. For gas models, shut off the gas supply.

Steps (electric):

Check power: Ensure a full 240V supply (the drum can turn on 120V but will not heat).
Access heater: Remove the rear panel and inspect the heater assembly and wiring.
Test thermal fuse and thermostats: Replace any open components.
Test heating element: Replace if open or visibly broken.

Steps (gas):

Observe burner: If the igniter does not glow, replace the igniter. If it glows but there is no flame, replace the gas valve coils. If the flame appears then goes out repeatedly, check the flame sensor and coils.
Check thermal fuse: Replace if blown and clean the venting to prevent recurrence.
