DLEX5680V
LG DLEX5680V SteamFresh Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Steam hose, screen and inlet valve
- Heating element and thermostats
- Lint trap and exhaust run
- Belt, idler and drum rollers
Now an older model, the DLEX5680V is an LG electric dryer with Steam Technology, a 7.3 cu. ft. ultra large capacity and SteamFresh and SteamSanitary cycles. It is a legacy model still running in many homes, usually in a laundry room with a vented exhaust and a water connection.
We treat the steam and the drying as separate jobs. If the machine tumbles but does not heat, we test the element, the thermostats and the power at the outlet. If the steam cycles produce no steam, we check the hose, the screen and the inlet valve. A long-running dryer also benefits from a duct check, because lint builds up over time.
The label gives the exact model and serial, which we read before ordering parts. You approve the price in writing first, and our work carries a 30-day warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My dryer tumbles but is cold. What is wrong?
With an electric dryer, we begin with the power at the outlet, then test the heating element and the thermostats. A lost leg of the 240-volt supply gives the same result.
What is the SteamSanitary cycle?
It is a steam-based cycle on this model. It needs water, so when it does not run as expected we start with the hose, the screen and the inlet valve.
Can an older steam dryer still be repaired?
Usually yes. Heat, drive and control parts are repairable, and we confirm part availability before giving a price so you can decide with the facts in hand.
