- 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)
- Locate the full model number from the dryer rating label (door frame or rear panel).
- Match your model to 5301EL1001A or contact us with your model & serial — we’ll confirm fit quickly.
- 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.

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.
