Mend LG WM3431HW Drying Dryer Stopped

LG All-In-One Not drying?

I have an LG All-In One model WM3431HW. The dryer portion stopped working. It now gets hot and the fan runs but it fills the drum with water saturating the clothes. I just paid some idiot $92.00 to take the fan out and remove some lint. He said it would work and left. It did the same thing. After he left I took the fan back out and the tube that it's connected to and removed enough lint to choke a horse. After that I ran the machine, and it still did the same thing. Anybody got any ideas? Could there be more lint further up the line? Has anybody experienced anything like this?
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response. Items 1,2, and 3 of your response all check out. I have it clean from the blower and down that duct. I didn't mention that I bought this machine used, and it never collected any lint in the lint trap in front of the machine. I checked the hot and cold, and they are in the correct position. Is it possible that there could be more lint between the duct tube and the lint trap itself? It's not showing any error codes.
Thanks again

1) Drain Motor running? Water draining out?  If no, inspect the filter at the front of
    the washer combo (lower/ left corner). Remove any / all debris.
 
2) Water drains good but laundry still wet?  Unplug the combo. Remove the rear service
     access panel. Locate the plastic DUCT TUBE on the left side and disconnect it at the
     bottom location of the tub. Check for heavy lint accumulation--remove all.
 
3) Remove the top cover of the combo unit. Standing in front of the combo--at the right
    rear corner is a BLOWER ASSY. Remove the "phillips" screws from the blower and lift
    the blower motor assy out. Check the housing for heavy lint accumulation. Clean as
    needed.
  Iam assuming you have followed this procedure.If you have recently plumbed the machine in,have you got the hot/cold fill pipes mixed up.The pump should run constantly on the drying cycle,.Water is added in the form of a mist to aid the drying process.The water is metered by the pcb,over metering would suggest a fault with the water inlet valve(tripple water valve) or pcb. Another reason is failure to reach and maintain final spin,this will leave the clothes holding water prior to the dry cycle.Had any error codes? How is the washer connected for drainage, eg connection onto a sink trap allowing water from the sink, to backfill into the washer,due to a blockage.
