check the door switch,i don't work on lg but on any other dryer if the wsitch is broke the dryer won't start and if the light is on the switch shuts off the light and dryer will start.if you send the model number i can look up the switch for you.open the door and look around the frame where the door closes into,there should be a push button switch or a little paddle that the door hits,when you push in on the switch it should make a clicking sound or i've seen the paddle broke off.hope this helps or if you removed any wires to the door switch you might of wired it wrong
Try this. Set the timer. Open the door, press and hold the light switch. Rotate the drum by hand then while still holding the light switch turn on the dryer. If it starts then clos the door while removing your finger quickly. If this problem persists it could be the starter on your motor.
Sounds like your door switch needs to be replaced. When the door is closed it is supposed to shut off power to your light, and send a signal to the timer that the dryer is ready to start. If your light is on with the door shut, then it won't start. Pretty simple replacement that you should be able to do yourself. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists
The switch is probably bad or the door switch isn't being made by the door pin some machines will start with the button pushed and the door switch open.
