Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240508-2CC29-2147339310. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: LG LG Gas range, Model LDG4313BD. Source model text: DLG1502W. Incident: Purchased an LG Gas Dryer (Model # DLG1602W, S/N 702KWRE3E382) as part of a wash / dryer combo several years ago. Recently, the dryer stopped drying clothes. The drum would spin but the burner would not ignite. Prior to opening up the dryer, I ordered replacements for the thermostat, high limit thermostat and thermistor assembly. When I opened the front of the dryer in order to remove the drum and install the replacement parts, I discovered a coating of ash around the burner and other areas that would normally be inaccessible. Apparently there had been a build up of lint that had caught fire and left wiring harnesses and wire insulattion melted. The fire was contained to the inside of the dryer.
