Most common repairs needed to fix a LG dryer
Sensor Replacement
If your dryer's "clean filter" light won't turn off, it could be due to a failed sensor. The sensor detects the level of lint build-up in the filter and signals the control board to turn on the light when the filter needs cleaning. If the sensor is malfunctioning, it may continuously signal that the filter is dirty, even when it has been cleaned. If you suspect the sensor is at fault, schedule an in-home repair with a Sears Home Services technician.
Blower Motor Replacement
A clogged or damaged blower wheel could be the reason your dryer's "clean filter" light won't turn off. The blower wheel circulates air through the dryer and lint filter. If the blower wheel is obstructed by lint or debris, it can reduce airflow, causing the sensor to detect a dirty filter even when it's clean. The dryer might take longer to dry clothes or the "clean filter" light stays on. To address this issue, inspect the blower wheel for any obstructions or damage.
Electronic Control Board Replacement
The electronic control board processes signals from various sensors, including the one monitoring the filter. If the control board is faulty, it might incorrectly interpret the sensor's signal, causing the light to remain on even when the filter is clean. Diagnosing a control board issue can be complex and requires professional expertise. If you suspect the electronic control board is the problem, schedule an in-home repair appointment with Sears Home Services to have a technician diagnose and replace the faulty control board.

Excellent service from Daniel
Daniel provided excellent service and was very quick to perform the repair. I have nothing good to say about the warranty program and the LACK of customer service and the inability to contact a human being to talk.
