DLE5070W (ABWEEUS) LG Dryer - Instructions

Followed the repair video provided in the order confirmation email. Was easy.

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.

I watched video by searching by the part number. It was recommended by Sales Lady(Can't remember her name). I removed door from the unit and then removed all the screws on the door. There was about 16 of them. I then pushed on the 2 plastic clips which raised one side of the door. This exposed where the Door Strike goes into. I removed the screw that holds Door Strike in place. Inserted new Stronger Door Strike and lined up hole with screw slot. Screwed back in till tight, thus locking Door Strike in. Inserted all screws back in, and attached door back to unit. Tested fine and have now done several loads no problems. A $4 part would have cost me hundreds by service company. Thanks Part Select!

Removed the old damaged filter and replaced it a new one.

Put the new lint filter in and it was completed

Take old one out and slide new filter in.

Watched a You Tube video

I assumed this was a belt problem. Ordered the belt and followed the excellent screw by screw instructional YouTube provided by PartSelect. In fact, I probably would not have attempted the repair, until I watched the video and was reassured that I could do it. When I got the front panel off, the problem was obvious. There was a dishrag stuck in the blower. Didn't need the belt, but the video was sure worth the price of the part (~$17). Mr. Appliance charges $109 to DIAGNOSE the problem! This was way easier than dealing with them, especially during a pandemic near the holidays.

This was all pretty straightforward with the helpful video hosted on this site. The only issues I ran into was I had a seized screw that stripped and I had to drill it out and replace it. Also, I had to disassemble the front and rear a little bit further than what is shown in order to install the new roller axles. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have to worry about the triangular retainers, because the replacement rollers/axles use an improved metal retaining pin. Overall, I'm very happy and the dryer is nearly silent now. It was a bit of a challenge but I took my time and gave myself breaks throughout the morning rather than banging my head against the wall.

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.

Viewed YouTube video form parts select to take dryer apart. Very easy to do if you just follow instructions in the video. Nothing too hard to do. Of note the 4 pack roller assembly is a whole unit, so you’ll have to replace the stem unit the old rollers use and not just replace the roller wheels like in the video. That is a different part number from LG. The front 2 are pretty straight forward to unbolt and replace. The back 2, especially one on the left is tighter clearance even with a wrench. If you’re able to pull whole dryer out and take back off, it’s an easier to get the one on the back left.
Also replaced belt just because i had it open, I replaced thermistor previously after getting a Te5 code about a year ago so that helped in taking it apart.
Would recommended doing it all since you’ll have it open.
Once replaced, everything ran again.

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

Unscrew the screw, remove old part, place in new part, replace screw and you are done.
