Most Dryers has a thermal switch that when the air flow gets so hot it will shut down the dryer until it cools down or on some models the thermal switch has to be replaced .. The most common problem to cause this is a restricted air flow somewhere in the exhaust of the heated air causing the dryer to reach too high of temp, which could cause a fire .. Hope this information is help full......

LG DLE5001W Dryer Lights Up but won't accept programming commands or operate

I would guess new belt is slightly misrouted. From front, belt comes down left side of drum and goes around belt tensioner and then back to the motor pulley. Without the tensioner pulled to the left, the safety switch will still be tripped. Pulling tensioner to the left completes the circuit to the motor and allows motor to run.

My dryer will only work for like 3 minutes and then it kicks out the breaker. It is an lg tromm dle3777w. It has worked fine for about 4 years. Used it for a load already today and it worked fine. ...

Hi - there is a fault with the heating circuit, most likely either a bad connection on the elements or elsewhere on the wiring. The only other problem would be the actual heater element, although doubtful as it would normally pop the circuit breaker instantly if this was the case.

Although i'm not familiar with this particular model all dryers operate the same way, when on air dry there is usually no heating involved, it will work ok.

If you can handle the repairs yourself otherwise get an electrician or appliance serviceman to help you out.

My three year old dryer stopped heating. I replaced the thermostat and cut off thermal part. Then discovered the element was broken, so replaced it. This worked for ONE load. If the exhaust is kinked...

This will cause the dryer to shut-off on a thermal overload yes you said you cut off the thermal part and did you wire the wires together to complete the switch? There is another thermal switch sometimes down near the exhaust blower that could be tripping and shutting the dryer off.

Will not heat

Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.

Dryer will not heat

Check to make sure you have 240V at the outlet. If you do, check the continuity of the element and thermostats. If still no heat, it could be the temperature setting switch, the timer or the motor.
Good luck!
