LG Dryer Igniter 5318EL3001A OEM Part

LG and Sears-Kenmore incorporate the Dryer Ignitor, an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part specifically engineered for use in LG dryers. This crucial component functions by igniting the gas burner, essential for generating the heat required to dry clothes effectively. For optimal and safe operation, the ignitor must achieve a specific high temperature to successfully ignite the gas.<br /><br />Indications of a malfunctioning Dryer Ignitor include:<br /><br />- The dryer does not produce heat, despite all other functions operating normally.<br />- The gas valve opens, yet no flame appears, suggesting the ignitor fails to reach the necessary temperature.<br />- The heating is inconsistent, with the dryer sometimes heating effectively and other times not.<br /><br />A defective dryer ignitor may stem from causes such as thermal fuse failure, general wear and tear, or electrical issues impacting the power supply to the ignitor.<br /><br />This LG OEM part is also compatible with Kenmore dryer models.
