LG Dryer light is out
If your LG dryer light is out, start by checking the light socket first — a bad socket or poor connection is the top cause and easy to test with a multimeter. Next look at the dryer control components: a failed control panel, touchpad/control panel assembly, or the user control and display board can stop the interior light or indicator lights from working, so if the socket has power those assemblies are the likely suspects. Less commonly the door switch will fail to provide continuity when the door opens, and that can prevent the light from turning on, and only after those checks should you suspect a damaged light assembly itself. If you’re comfortable testing for voltage and continuity you can narrow this down quickly, but if not replacing the control assemblies or door switch are common repairs. Enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement light socket, control panel, touchpad, display board, door switch, or light assembly that fits your machine.
01 - LG Dryer Light Socket
If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the touchpad and control panel and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the entire touchpad and control panel assembly will need to be replaced.

04 - LG Dryer User Control and Display Board
The dryer control panel indicator lights are part of the user control and display board and cannot be replaced separately. If an control panel indicator light is not working, the user control and display board will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - LG Dryer Door Switch
The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
Less Common
06 - LG Dryer Light Assembly
The most likely cause of a dryer interior light not working is a defective light assembly. Inspect the assembly for any visible damage or burn marks and replace as required.
