4970EL4002A LG Dryer Spring

LG offers a range of products including those under the LG and Sears-Kenmore brands. One such item is the Liquid Propane Gas Orifice, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part suitable for LG dryers designed to operate on liquid propane gas. This part plays a crucial role in controlling the gas flow to the burner, enabling the dryer to effectively heat and dry clothing.

Over time and with regular use, orifices may experience wear and tear, often manifesting as corrosion due to the heat cycles the dryer undergoes. This natural degradation can lead to functionality issues.

When an orifice is failing, several indicators may be noticeable: the dryer might not heat or dry clothes efficiently, there may be yellow flames or unburned gas exiting the dryer vent, or the dryer might display error codes concerning gas or heating problems.

This specific OEM part from LG is also compatible with certain Kenmore dryer models.

For those requiring a natural gas version, the correct part number is 4948EL4001B.
