Clothes dryers and the electric motors inside of them have a tough job. They turn and flip your wet clothes until they are completely dry. When dust builds builds up on the dryer’s electric motor it makes their job a lot tougher. The following LG Clothes Dryers Motor Repair shows how a build up of dust on a motor can cause your dryer to stop working.

When motors are put under a heavy workload the produce a lot of heat. The dust on the motor below acts a warm blanket for the motor.
