6931EL3001E Genuine Thermostat Assembly for LG Clothes Dryers, LG Dryer Heating Thermostat, E Suffix Version

Genuine LG thermostat assembly 6931EL3001E is a temperature control part for LG clothes dryers. It senses the heat inside the dryer and switches the heater circuit to keep it within a safe range. Thermostats in the same family can share most of the number, so check the full code including the final letter on your old thermostat, or send us your dryer's model number for a fit check.

LG dryer not heating or overheating?

A dryer thermostat opens and closes a contact as the temperature changes. While it works, the heater cycles on and off to keep the air at the right level. When it sticks open, the drum turns but the clothes stay damp and cold. When it drifts or sticks closed, the dryer can run too hot, scorch fabrics or trip a safety cut-out. Blocked lint filters and ducting are a common reason thermostats fail early, so clear them out when you fit the new part or the replacement may go the same way.

Replacing the dryer thermostat

Unplug the dryer and let it cool fully. Label or photograph the wires on the old thermostat before removing them. Check the terminals are clean and push the connectors on firmly. Clean the lint filter, its housing and the exhaust path, then run a heated cycle to check the dryer warms up normally. Electrical repairs are best left to a qualified technician.

Questions about this part

My LG dryer runs but won't heat, is it the thermostat?

It can be. A failed thermostat, a blown thermal fuse or a faulty heater can all cause a no heat fault. Testing each one for continuity with a multimeter, with the dryer unplugged, will show which part has failed.
