# LG dryer heating element replacement cost

### Why this figure is a from

The element, the thermal cutoff and the thermostats are replaced together, because a cutoff that has opened did so for a reason and fitting one part means doing the job twice. The duct is dealt with in the same visit for the same reason.

### What puts your job at the bottom or the top of it

At the bottom: one appliance, a code or a light pattern already written down, easy access, and a cause that turns out to be a setting, a filter or something cleared rather than replaced. At the top: a machine built into joinery, a part that has to be ordered rather than picked up, and a second problem found alongside the first. We say which of those you are in before the work starts, not after.

What moves this figure

from $195, and what changes it

Confirmed on site, agreed in writing

Nothing is opened or ordered before you have said yes

Whether the breaker was the whole problem

Half a tripped double breaker is free to fix and gives the identical symptom.

Element, cutoff or both

Both fail open and both are measured.

Whether the duct needs clearing too

It usually does, and it is what opened the cutoff.

We say which of those you are in before the work starts, not after.

### Why is it a from and not a price?

Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. The part, the access and what the appliance turns out to have done to itself all move it, and quoting a number before measuring is guessing with extra confidence. The figure is confirmed on site and agreed in writing before anything is opened — BRAND-RULES is explicit about it and so are we.

### Is the diagnostic charged on top?

It pays for the diagnosis, which is real work. If you go ahead with the repair it comes off the bill, so you pay it once either way.
