Lg dryer not turning on

There are a few common reasons your LG dryer might not turn on, even if it's plugged in. First, check the power supply to ensure the outlet is working. You can do this by plugging in another appliance, like a lamp, to see if it functions. If the outlet is fine, check the circuit breaker to see if it’s tripped. Additionally, a faulty door switch, blown thermal fuse, or damaged power cord could also prevent your dryer from starting.

The door switch ensures that your LG dryer only operates when the door is securely closed. If the dryer doesn’t turn on, the door switch may be faulty. You can test it with a multimeter to check for continuity. If the multimeter shows no reading, it’s likely the door switch is defective and needs to be replaced. Additionally, try closing the door firmly—if the dryer starts, the issue could be related to a misalignment or wear on the door switch.

A buzzing sound without the dryer turning on often indicates a problem with the drive belt. The belt connects the motor to the drum, and if it’s broken or worn out, the dryer won’t turn on or the drum won’t spin. Inspect the drive belt for any visible damage. If it's worn or broken, you'll need to replace it. Replacing the drive belt can be a bit challenging, so if you're unsure, it's best to call a professional for help.

A blown thermal fuse is a common issue if your LG dryer isn’t turning on. This fuse is a safety feature that prevents overheating. If the fuse is blown, your dryer won’t start. You can replace the thermal fuse yourself if you feel comfortable with basic appliance repair. First, unplug the dryer and locate the fuse, which is usually found on the blower housing or near the heating element. Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If it’s blown, replacing it should solve the problem. However, if you’re not familiar with appliance repairs, it’s a good idea to contact a professional technician for help.
