What BE (Drum Drive Belt) Means
BE indicates a problem with the drum drive belt, which stops the drum from rotating, per LG's dryer Help Library article.
Common Causes of BE (Drum Drive Belt)
- Drum drive belt has broken or slipped off
- Belt-tension sensor fault (temporary or hardware)
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Unplug the dryer, wait 60 seconds, and restart it to rule out a temporary glitch in the belt-tension sensor.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- If the reset doesn't clear BE, a broken or slipped belt needs a technician to access the drum area and replace it - this isn't a part accessible without significant disassembly on most LG dryer cabinets.
