I have a 2 year old LG Dryer (Model DLGX8101V) that the drum doesn't stop turning unless I pull the plug out of the wall or open the dryer door. The dryer can be powered off at the panel but still plugged in and will continuously run.
I did some searching online and found a reset procedure but it didn't work but not sure I did it right either? Also found information regarding motor relay possibly bad. The dryer still heats but just wont stop running once the clothes are dry or timer runs out.
Any suggestion are much appreciated. I have the unit open looking at the control board but I can't identify the relay switch.
Thank You,
Cameron

Don't know much about LGs, but I would say it's a stuck relay. You could try carefully tapping on each relay to see if that breaks the contacts apart. Use something non-conductive like a screwdriver handle.
If it is the relay, you could replace the board or just the relay. The latter requires some soldering skills.

Thanks for the response. Only problem is I don't know which component is the relay. I've taken it apart and tapped on several larger black caps but it didn't resolve it. How would I go about identifying the correct component to tap? Thanks

How would I go about identifying the correct component to tap? Thanks Well in the process of doing laundry today the dryer has resolved itself. Its functioning properly. What is the likelihood of the issue returning assuming it was a stuck relay? Will it just get stuck again? Edited by user Friday, February 3, 2023 2:43:45 PM(UTC)
