    Hi whitegoods world. My first post and I hope ther`s somebody that can help me. I have a problem with my condenser unit, I have had it for 4 years without a problem but it now trips the power when I turn it on. I do have a limited electrical backround (industrial not domestic) so checking resistance etc is fine with me. The issue is where should I start looking would this be the heater element or some sort of thermostat that would do this. Or is it just a case (probably)of fault finding until I find out what is causing this. Any assitence with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Element would be the place to start.

    Though getting into LG dryers isn’t the easiest I’m told.

    sorry for the delayed response but thanks for the advice guys. i`ll check for some water ingress and i`ll try and find the element. Either way I think it`s a case of taking the casing off and having a little dig around. i`ll update with my findings, but if anybody could tell me where to find the element that would be helpfull. Apologies to any engineers out there who are currently throwing their spanners at the screen.

    Thanks for all your good advice. i took the back off and there was some water in there. dried off all the water and she lives again!! Hopefully this has now solved the issue but if it does re-occur I will have to find out why there was water ingress in the first place.once again thanks for your advice it is much appreciated.

    I’ve had an engineer out for this in the past and the reason why this happens is that the door is closed with wet washing inside (perhaps it stopped mid cycle as the water holder is full) condensation forms and then there is a need to dry out the back of the machine….. This also means that you cannot use thetime delay function as this also causes condensation in the back of the machine, a design flaw to me.
