DLGY1902KE (ABSEEUS) LG Dryer - Instructions

One of the roller assembly froze up & had a flat spot on it. There for causing the drum not to rotate. Pulled it out replaced the roller & up & running.

Opening the dryer door on the vertical axis rather than the horizontal axis, I unscrewed the three obvious screws. These screws are clearly visible when viewed from eye level. The broken hinge came off in two pieces, but presented no difficulty. I inspected the area around the hinge for auxiliary damage. There was none, but I did notice a wisp of cotton candy stuck in the lint trap. This was odd as I had not had cotton candy of any kind in my home or near my dryer ever. I did hear the faint sound of calliope music-I assumed this to be from an ice cream van that frequents the neighborhood-but failed to detect the tell-tale doppler effect of a moving vehicle. Disturbed, but determined to finish my task I removed the new part from the packaging and checked the fit. It fit perfectly. NOTE: Retain the screws from the hinge you remove, as the replacement hinge does not come with screws. I looked down to where my screws lay and saw the bulbous oversized toe of large red shoe. There was a star on the tip, painted in blue and yellow. I looked up from the shoe to see it attached to an ankle with a frilled cuff and up from there a baggy pair of pantaloons. At this point I realized that circuses now being illegal in this country, I clearly had a rogue clown on my hands. Sitting as I was I was not able to quickly get up, and in the confines of my washroom I had nowhere to run anyway. I had to think fast. I could smell the stale popcorn on the clown's breath as he leaned over, I reached for anything I could, grabbing up a pet cleaning vacuum hose. The clown just snorted and said, "You want a Phillip's head for that." The clown was right, of course. I installed the screws, checked that the door worked, and then the clown and I went for churros.

I replaced the thermistor, then the gas ignitor which were easy to get to once the drum was out. The gas is still not igniting so not sure where to go from here. Putting the drum belt back on took some muscle. But then I'm 71.

With a thin flat screwdriver I was able to pry out the old door switch, I replaced it with the new door switch, pushed back in dryer and so far is working since I installed a month ago.

Exchange

Repair was easy, but the part does not come with directions. It is pretty self explanatory if you are used to taking things apart and fixing them. Otherwise there are YouTube videos you can pull up. Dryer runs like it is new again though and it was way cheaper than buying a new dryer.

Followed the instruction on video.was great after three parts now is OK .we have heat.still cheaper than having it service.

There’s all sorts of videos on it I watched. It was actually very simple

Called LG on the phone and they gave the button presses for diagnostics, which then gave the HST code, saying the Humidity sensor was bad.
The part was described as the Humidity sensor module. Actually it's just the wire leads for the sensor which must be electronic and only accessible by disassembling the dryer. There were descriptions about cleaning the wires, perhaps because some people use dryer sheets which cause a buildup on the wires and prevent them from doing their job. I use wool balls and have no buildup on my wires and replacing them did not fix the sensor, because the module accessible inside the dryer is not the moisture sensor, but only the wire leads.

Completely had to dismantle the dryer to get to the igniter.
The screw holding the igniter is a SOB to get at for extraction, and even worse putting back.,

Removed the old vent trap 3 screws total and replaced the new very quick and easy.

Ordered a new Dryer Lint Filter Assembly that fit my LG electric dryer.

An appliance repairman determined the problem which was that it needed new pulleys and thankfully PartSelect carried them. He installed them in an hour and my dryer runs fine now.

The installation of the gas orifice was actually simple. Unscrew the old orifice and screw in the correct orifice. Tricky part of the process was accessing the area of the gas valve.
