LG and Sears-Kenmore offer the Dryer Locker Assembly, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically for LG electric dryers. Positioned behind the dryer door, this component includes the mechanism responsible for locking the door.
Typically, issues with the locker assembly arise from normal wear, accidental impact, or stress placed on parts.
Signs indicating a locker assembly malfunction include:
- The dryer door does not securely latch when closed
- Noticeable gaps or leaks of air around the door seal during use
- The door does not remain closed
- Audible clicking or grinding noise near the door area
Additionally, this OEM part fits select Kenmore models.
