I have an LG dryer. It currently is powered off and will not stop spinning until I open the door. Once I close the door it starts spinning again. I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back on. I have even switched the electrical breaker off and back on again. Still keeps spinning with no heat when off.

The timer switch has gone bad and needs to be replaced. For the cost of the timer it might be cheaper just to buy a new dryer. Otherwise leave the door open until you use it IF IT STILL HEATS UP, THEN IT IS A MINOR PROBLEM. BUT COSTLY if you want an appliance repair guy to come in and fix it. Really not worth it.

When you close the door a switch engages to tell the dryer to spin.
There is probably a short in the switch and it needs replacing. If you are handy with a screwdriver you can do the job yourself in about 10 minutes.
Do a part search for your model to find the PART NUMBER you need to order.
You can also look for YouTube videos to see how it's done. I've fixed my washer and dryer several times and they're still running. But I'm mechanically inclined.

it needs a service call from a technician

Unplug it and call a repair person.

You unplug it and it keeps spinning? If this is true then you are just a troll because that is not possible. No power and it cannot keep running.
