The product, in the report: LG Gas Dryer model DLGX5102V sold by Sears
This gas dryer allows the gas to come on when the igniter is not on, venting raw gas into the drum, and out through the exhaust. The machine will heat up, but then, when it cycles on and off, sometimes it just vents raw gas into the drum and out into the yard. It is unreal that there is not a mechanical shut off that prevents this like on any water heater. This has happened three times on the same machine, Sears comes out and replaces the gas igniter assembly, but it only works for months, and this time most recent, today, it only worked for 3 hours before venting gas into my home.

The product, in the report: LG gas dryer
I have a LG gas dryer purchased 8 yrs ago with minimal use. Recently the dryer gas valve would not shut off after drying a load of clothes. It would not shut off after opening the door, and even unplugging unit from the wall. The only way was to shut off the main gas line! The dryer burned holes in the clothes and the outside of the unit was scalding hot to the touch. There had been a recall with this same problem with LG dryers a couple of years ago, however, LG claims this dryer does not fall under this recall. We were so lucky to have been in the laundry room when this happened or we would have had a fire! Model # DLE2532W Serial # 401KW00448. We had a service call, and the technician said they have never seen this problem before. I did call LG customer service and they blew me off and had no concern for the safety of my home. Wondering if other consumers with this model have had same problem.
