- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- If your LG dryer is making a thumping, screeching, banging, or other noise, this video should help you find a solution to solve the issue. I show you how to fully disassemble the LG dryer and look at the primary culprits of where noise can come from such as the LG dryer roller wheels, the LG dryer idler pulley, and the LG dryer blower wheel and other such parts, along with generally how to replace some of the items too.
Also mentioned are less likely culprits such as an oval drum, or a damaged bulkhead/drum felt system.

I excel in disassembly, but this video was invaluable for reassembly.
Damn thing started screaming like a banshee one day; turns out the pulley wheel broke clean off, and you had a link right there in the description for me. And the new one has an upgraded bearing!
Thank you!!!
So glad to help you!
Took about 5 hours from start to finish, but without this invaluable video guide, it would have taken longer and could easily have ended with the purchase of a new dryer. Instead, I found the seized roller in the back that was caused the terrible noises and replaced them all, plus the belt and tensioner. I took the opportunity to meticulously clean out all the lint and dust and replaced the nasty vent hood outside. I only had one extra screw when I was done and wiring harness plug that seemed to have nowhere to plug into, but I don’t think it was plugged into anything to begin with. Thank you for your integral help with a successful Saturday project and saving me over $600!
Five hours, $60, and your video, I now have a quiet running dryer.
Thank you so much for this clear and concise info! You not only showed us how to dissemble the machine, but how to put everything back together. You saved us a bundle in repair costs.
BEN You are Absolutely the BEST! Thanks for this video!
Two screws left over but we are running with heat and no vibration, so all is well. Thanks a million!
What a fantastic video! Thank you for providing a completely thorough step by step video. Thanks to you, I’ve purchased the replacement belt and rollers and will attempt this repair, saving some $ for my family!
Thanks to this great tutorial, I ordered the dryer repair kit for $30 and kept my wife from pushing me towards a $1700 stacked washer/dryer set. My main issue appeared to be that a chunk of rubber was missing off of one of the 4 rubber wheels. Some didn't turn the best so I replaced those too along with the idler pully and belt. I only ended up having two extra screws so not bad at all:)
Really appreciate this video. My dryer was making a moaning noise. I found your video, ordered parts, and within 36 hours had my dryer back online. My problem was that one of the front drum rollers had seized. I replaced all the rollers, tensioner, and belt. Thanks again.
Excellent video. My model is slightly different, but 95% the same. My dryer rumbled and made noise for some time (about 4 months). I shaked it, I tapped on it, and tried different drying settings before I got the balls to attack it. Well, this video was very help. Two rollers were seized (front and back). Belt pully was observed to be bent and slight tear in the belt. I changed all 4 rollers, belt, spring, and pully. I cleaned all the lent too 😀
I had a gas heater element that was a little different than what I believe to be an electric heater element in your video. I just needed to unscrew (2 screws) the heater “tube” and pull it out from the rear bulk head. In order to get to those 2 screws, I did have to remove the gas jet (2 screws). GREAT VIDEO! Saved me a bunch of much needed dough!
Taking my lg apart right now. Thanks for the informative video man.
Idk how much your video saved me but thank you for taking the time to share the fix.🙏
Great Video, made replacement of the drum bearings super easy. I recommend this video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for all of your help! I got my LG dryer fixed! Much appreciated! 🤩👍🎂
Very well put together video. Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Great video! These Lg Steam dryers are pretty neat! Definitely looking forward to buying one. I work on washer and dryers as a side hustle and I genuinely like working on LG units. LG stuff seems well made. Just sold a 2006 LG washer that had all the features like LED drum light and a steam injection system. Still worked SO well! Very impressive
Same with my experience - they go bad, but tend to go bad at a "better' rate than anything else you're gonna find at a big box store. Usually no horiffic board malfunctions, and the spider brackets are a little better in my experience. Their pumps seem a little bit more failure-prone, but are insanely cheap to swap and are the most basic universal type on the market.
@@bensappliancesandjunk yes yes and yes! Also proper maintenance is key. Thanks for the response Ben, keep up the amazing work!
Lg gas dryers are imo the worst sold in the states
Lol Lg dryers are literally the only dryers I’ve seen bad drums on. Only one with a cheap welded drum
@@RedZone4400 I've seen way more Samsungs with bad drums than LG. May be where I live?
Thanks a bunch!! ❤ I ll try with a friend to disassemble my lg
Thank you!
Best video ever. You are a lifesaver
Ben, do we need to be taking apart our dryers to clean lint out from inside of them? I understand we need to clean out the dryer vent line, and the lint filter, but do we really need to be cleaning lint out from inside of the dryer?
Great Video; thank you for sharing. The machine is up and running :-)
Awesome!
Hi Ben, couldn’t find a video but your take on heat pump dryer? We need smaller and ventless and deciding between Miele set and LG set-the latter is $1200 cheaper.
You explain it psrfectly
Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks!
What is the roller well part number?
Well, I'm still having a problem. Something is causing the roller wheels at the front side of the dryer to rub, leaving plastic dust. It makes a thumping noise when the dryer is running. Something is causing the front roller wheels to rub. I can't see what it is. That was the original problem when I first replaced the roller wheels.
Do you live in Pgh by chance? lol. I see myself having leftover screws and the dryer never going back together. But a really good video- just too afraid to do it. Guess I’ll live with whatever is rattling in there.
Awesome video, dryer fixed. But, what do I do with these extra screws….😂
LMFAO WHAT HAPPEN TO IT THATS MY PROBLEM RN 😂
No lint all over everything? Did you clean the bottom area before you filmed the video? I never worked on a clean dryer. Lol
No - I did do some editing and left out cleaning it (which is on the heater element video). It was pretty clean before I touched it though, definitely rare!
You dont have to remove control board and steam system along with rails in order to remove drum on this model.
Theoretically no. But I figured that I'd have as many people complain if I didnt remove the rails because it'd be a tight fit. May as well show near-total-disassembly rather than bare minimum.
@@bensappliancesandjunk never in 5 years I did that. But ok I understand.
Nice vid! What's been your experience with non OE rollers? I see the ones linked above appear to be 3rd party? Amazon's chinesium kit reviews are littered with bad experiences on 3rd party roller failure.
Hey that's a fantastic question.
There are only 2 or 3 roller manufacturers in the world really.
Amazon and generally supco get them from 1 factory. That one is horrible and very suspect on longevity. The tolerances for the rubber are poor and can break easily.
The second factory and third one tend to be the ones that OEMs use. Additionally, I know ERP uses these factories. Those ones last way longer. You will not find a deal on them because they cost more at wholesale than the Supco/Amazon ones, but will last longer for sure. Choice parts versions, I think are some where in the middle but I need to test them more.
@@bensappliancesandjunk Thanks for the insight on mfgs! I seem to be challenged finding a ERP supplier of LG wheels. Could you be so kind as to link in the one you use? I see a lot of supco stuff and a lot choice parts stuff...for some reason ERP is hard to locate. EDIT / ah, I see you've linked to your own parts website. But you're selling Choice parts but 'you need to test them more'? Curious. Choice parts do seem to have a reasonable rep as lots of the bigger appliance parts sites carry them. I ended up finding a reasonable price on LG OE rollers so I went with those - hard to argue with factory stuff that's lasted 10+ years.
Does the parts in the description fits LG Dryer DLGX8001V ?
Yes, they do
@@bensappliancesandjunk thanks for the quick response. The kit in the link comes with 4 and I think the dryer takes 6 so I’ll add two more wheels to it. Prices are great as well. Thanks
14:08 my dryer LG is catching clothes in the drum front part
How about a squeaky LG front load washer at low speed?
Check rotor in back
Good job.. Iam from saudia Arabia and i need your help tp puy spare parts
Hi, unfortunately I'm not sure where to buy parts in your country. Yet at least. I am wanting to translate my channel to Arabic and set up a way for people in your region to find parts
Bruh, there was nothing left inside by the time he got to the roller wheels
Oh lorrrrr LG dryer is masking a very heavy noise when the wife turns it on… Heavy rubbing noise oh mercy… model DLEX3570V
Eww 🤢; Please dust and vacuum in there!
What a pain in the tail. Can they make them anymore crappy to work on?
I’m in the process of working on my dryer. I agree it’s a pain in the a$$ to work on right now 😤
Don’t buy Lg loo
