- Heating element and thermostat
- Door switch and start button
The DLE3470M is a current LG electric dryer with a 7.4 cubic feet drum. Its listing matches the DLE3400V on the main points: Sensor Dry, FlowSense indicators and ENERGY STAR certification, so the finish or color code is likely the main difference.
A dryer like this should respond to what is in the drum and what is in the vent. We empty the lint filter, test airflow at the back of the dryer, then check the sensor bars and the heater. If the dryer will not start at all, we move to the door switch, the start button and the power supply.
We read the model and serial from the label before ordering anything, since a similar model may use different parts. You get a written price first.

Is the DLE3470M the same as the DLE3400V?
Their listings share the same main features. We read your label to order the exact part. Finish letters at the end of a model number often mean color, but we confirm before ordering.
Why will my dryer not start?
A door switch, a start button or the power feed may be the cause. We test them in order. A dead start button can also be a loose wire or a failed board, and we narrow it down with a meter.
How often should I clean the vent?
Clean it whenever the FlowSense indicator warns or drying times grow. We check it on every visit. Cleaning the vent run every year or two is a sensible habit, especially after a long run behind the dryer.
