Cross Reference Information

Part Number 5301EL1001A replaces AP4438941, 1377645, 5301EL1001E, 5301EL1001G, AEG72910307. Always verify by model number before ordering to ensure a perfect fit.

Common Dryer Symptoms Fixed by 5301EL1001A

  • No heat or clothes remain damp after full cycle
  • Very long dry times, only lukewarm air at exhaust
  • Heat starts then stops mid-cycle (intermittent failure)
  • Tripped breaker after element shorts (inspect housing & wiring)

Fitment Guide (How to Confirm Compatibility)

  1. Locate the full model number from the dryer rating label (door frame or rear panel).
  2. Match your model to 5301EL1001A or contact us with your model & serial — we’ll confirm fit quickly.
  3. For best results, also inspect the high-limit thermostat, thermal cut-off, and cycling thermostat.

Some Kenmore models (made by LG) also use this element. Model number verification is the fastest way to ensure a correct match.

Quick Install Tips (always consult certified tech before any install)

  • Disconnect power at the breaker before service.
  • Access the heater housing (rear panel on most LG models). Take a photo of wire placement before removal.
  • Transfer wiring to the new assembly one connection at a time; ensure tight, fully seated terminals.
  • Vacuum lint from the cabinet and clean the entire vent run to prevent overheating.
  • Run a timed-dry test with towels and verify strong, consistent heat after reassembly.

Safety & Brand Notice

Helpful Maintenance Tips

  • Clean the lint screen after every cycle and deep-clean the vent monthly.
  • Verify exterior vent flap opens freely and is not blocked by lint or debris.
  • If the old element burned open, inspect thermostats and airflow to prevent repeat failures.

Helpful Home Appliance Tips from The Original Appliance Parts Pros

  • Clean condenser coils regularly
    Dust-free coils (on fridges, dryers, etc.) help appliances run efficiently, reduce energy use, and prevent motors from overworking.
  • Empty lint traps & vents monthly
    Clean your dryer’s lint trap after every load, and deep-clean the trap chute and exhaust vent monthly to help prevent fire hazards.
  • Run monthly maintenance cycles
    Run an empty load with vinegar or baking soda in your washer or dishwasher once a month to remove odor, buildup, and residue.
  • Inspect and clean door gaskets & seals
    Wipe down refrigerator and dishwasher door seals every few months. A tight seal prevents leaks, energy waste, and food spoilage.
  • Avoid overloading & use proper detergents
    Don’t overload washers or dishwashers, and measure detergent properly—especially in high-efficiency (HE) machines—to avoid damage and mold.
  • Level & balance appliances
    Keep washers, dryers, and refrigerators level to reduce vibration, noise, and premature wear.
  • Replace water filters regularly
    Change refrigerator water/ice filters every 6 months (or as indicated) for better taste and to protect valves.
  • Inspect washer inlet hoses
    Check hoses yearly for bulges or cracks. Upgrade to stainless braided hoses and replace about every 5 years.
  • Use surge protection
    Plug major appliances into a surge protector to protect sensitive control boards from power spikes.
  • Descale for hard water
    Run a dishwasher descaler or citric acid cycle every 2–3 months in hard water areas to prevent buildup.
  • Allow proper airflow
    Leave 2–3 inches of clearance behind refrigerators and dryers for proper ventilation and to avoid overheating.
  • Test safety outlets
    Test GFCI and AFCI outlets in kitchens and laundry rooms once a year to ensure safety devices are working.
  • Check door alignment
    Adjust fridge doors so gaskets seal evenly. Replace worn or torn gaskets to reduce energy loss.
