    Been staring at the PCB for an hour and didn't spot the crispy bits. Once I saw your video, I zeroed in instantly. Mine wasn't as burned as yours but was exactly the same spot.

    Thank you for this video. My wife was about to order a new dryer tomorrow. I found this video and disassembled my dryer, and it was burnt in the same place as yours. I ran a jumper, and it's working again. Again, thank you.

    Well done. I searched and search for someone who had the same problem and here I found it. A couple minutes digging through the goop that they put in to prevent honest troubleshooting and repair by the little guy, then scrape the trace clean and solder in a jumper.
    My LG Drier is a DLEX2501S, but it has the same board and the same problem. You would think that they would have built in a fuse instead.

    We had the exact same burned spot on the circuit board of our LG DLG2051W from 2007. I followed your repair, and it's back up and running. THANK YOU!!!

    Thanks for the video. I find a same problem with my LG dryer DLE2301S. Now it fixed thanks to you!
    It is, definitely, problem of PCB design. The conductor burned in the narrow area near connector.
    It happened for different dryers using same board.
    LG have to take responsibility for this failure.

    by the amount of replies all mentioning and describing exactly the same issue, I wouldn't be surprised if this is an engineered fault by the manufacturer designed to milk your money. Kudo for this video.

  • @MattGorbet

    Same issue here! One quick thing ... I made sure to use a 14AWG cable to fix, because clearly this is a current issue, and the wire going into the connectors above are 14AWG.
    Harder to solder, but worth it if it reduces fire hazard.
    Sending you some cash!

    Very helpful, especially since my dryer had exactly the same damage and replacement boards are no longer available, that I could find. Your repair worked perfectly for mine as well and I hope it lasts as long as the dryer has to this point .... 10 more years! Thanks much, my wife now thinks I can repair Anything, LOL! I did give credit to your post though.

      The fix does not interfere with the protection built into the unit by the manufacturer. It addresses the weak link in the board, but as always you do all repairs at your own risk.

    What is the best way to remove the silicone to expose the contacts? Will any copper wire work for the soldering connection?

    • @videomomo
      @videomomo  3 года назад +1

      You can use a sharp utility or exacto knife to cut a rectangle in the silicone, just be careful not to cut into the board. Any copper wire will work, you just don't want it too thin. You also need soldering paste to get the solder to stick to the wire and the copper on the board.

    • @videomomo
      @videomomo  2 года назад

      CL is usually the Child Lock indicator, which locks the control panel. If you are unable to turn it off and all the buttons work, the control board may be damaged. Check out this video on how to enable and disable the Child Lock: ruclips.net/video/9q0HnmrfzUQ/видео.html
