Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.
No heat and the timer not advancing is usually caused by an open cycle thermostat. (Item 20) This link: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5151792&diagram_id=956658#d956658
It can also be caused by a defective high limit thermostat (Item 15 above link) and an open heating element item 17 above link.
Before you even try to take the dryer apart or attempt ANY repairs go to the main CB panel and cycle the dryer CB off by physically pushing the thermostat to OFF (manually resets CB) then back to ON, Test the dryer for heat. Sometimes one of the 2 breakers trips allowing the dryer to run but not heat.

You can download this job aid to assist in locating / replacing the failed part.

Disassembly order is Top, Toe Panel and Front Panel. Make sure to remove the 2 screws in the lint filter befor attermpting to remove the top.

Make sure to unplug the dryer before attempting any repairs.

Testing of each thermostat is done at room temp with one terminal disconnected with an Ohm meter. They should read continuity (ZERO Ohms) across the 2 terminals.

The heating element should also read a very low resistance across the terminals.

Note item 18 in the first link. Heating element wires are notorious for getting hot and failing at the heating element connections.

I do not at this point think you have a timer problem. There is a very remote possibility that you could have a bad motor switch.

Also check all connections at the dryer cord terminal block connection. These are known to also get hot from a loose connection. See item 42 this link for wire kit to fix the terminal block wires

Owners manual above. LG washing machine error code – OEThe LG error code OE simply means “the pump is blocked”. Presumably the water isn’t being emptied properly. As with all error codes it is possible that there is a cause other than the exact description in the error code explanation but basically this error means as far as the washing machine is concerned it thinks the water isn’t pumping out. A pump, or filter blockage is the most common cause but it could be caused by other faults such as a faulty pump, or even a blockage in the drain hose or somewhere else in the system etc.

• Washing machine won’t empty water
• Pump has no blockages, filter is clear and it runs but it still won’t drain water
• Appliance Error codes. General information

Check these out:

• If your washer spins but does not pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that is attached to the pump or even into the pump itself. It it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out.

• To remove the item from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Using a needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the stuck item through the port.

• Check your washer for a frozen pulley. Remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely, it's frozen, replace it.
• If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back after the spin cycle, your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow drain back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub.
• Also check for these problems:

1. If the drain hose reaches more than 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut the excess.
2. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

if no drain, then no spin
check filter and check for a foreign object stuck in the pump impellor

If motor runs or sounds like it is trying to run, you have a sock caught in the pump. If no noise at all you have a bad lid switch
