Our old LG gas dryer stopped heating, so temporarily became an air dryer until I fixed it. Almost certainly a defective sensor.
Before I could order the dryer sensor, to show support, our old LG washer gave signs its hall sensor was going out. They are less than $10 but render washer unusable when they fail. Hall sensors are a pain to replace. The washer weighs a ton and has to be moved well away from the back wall to access it after dismantling much of the appliance. The dryer sensor much easier to replace since dryer is lighter and sensor is accessible from the back. However there was a chance the problem was something else.
Was not in the mood to fix both and even less to pay a pro half of what new appliances cost and ending up with all the rest of the parts being middle aged.
So grabbed a set on sale at Costco.
I had always purchase white washers and dryers 'cause I'm cheap. But had convinced Susan it was because I wanted appliances to match one of our cars, the majority of which have always been white. Never had a car in a color other than white that any washer/dryers came in. My scheme worked for 50 years, but %^&# our Tesla is charcoal, and LG messed me up by offering these in a virtually identical color!
