Where would the world be without neat smart men who can teach anything with great patience!
Excellent step by step help. Mine had a couple of extra surprises along the way (lots of electrical to disconnect mainly), but was able to complete in less than 2 hours. Thanks Steve...from here on out "My man, Steve!"
Excellent! Thanks!
Absolutely the best video ,than you me and my wife almost bought a new dryer but with the help of your video we managed to replace all the rollers and the belt on my expensive 12 year old lg dryer and it now works like new again at the cost of 68 dollars , thanx again sir.
yes, 'Right to Repair' laws have saved consumers billions
We were almost in the position to replace our 12 year old LG dryer. I figured that the repair cost would be approximately $200 and a new dryer could be $700 or more. I decided to try and buy new rollers and a belt for about $25 and if it didn't work, we were probably going to buy a new dryer. The step-by-step worked like a charm and saved us hundreds of dollars. Awesome video!!
Thank you so much! $35 and 2 hours later, no more clanging! You saved me!
Great video. Followed the step by step instructions and was able to complete this task in about 1.5 hours. The reassembly took more time as the video did not give close ups like it did for disassembly. I went back to the disassembly to better see the screw locations. Grear experience... got me to do something I would never had attempted by myself.
Awesome video, thank You Steve, you were so thorough and made the installation a breeze.
You simply ROCK Steve! You explain things thoroughly and just slowly enough so that I could move through each step with confidence. I cleaned it all out as I went. My dryer sounds beautiful now! I also replaced the belt and the pulley system that holds it. I am sincerely hoping that the next time something breaks... I can find a "Steve" fix-it video for it! Thank you, thank you! :)
Just wanted to point out this is not a steam dryer. For those who have types like the DLEX7177WM, this process is slightly different.
You may notice the control electronics is mounted on the side of the dryer. On mine it is mounted to the actual front controls. This matters because this complicates removal of the front controls. The board has a large transformer making it hard to slip it past the front support. You have to bend it out of the way and also disconnect all wires from the board.
My dryer also have a drawer on the left side. This must be removed to get the front controls out. Also, when removing the front support, you have to slip it past the drawer housing.
Other than that, it's all identical. Everything is just a little tighter. This video was a godsend. My dryer made horrible pounding sounds. Turns out one of the rear roller's bearing was just destroyed. Now operates perfectly!
Thanks for posting this in-depth replacement. My wife has been complaining about the noise for months now. Getting the parts today.
Excellent job sir you are professional no one could explain better Thank you God bless you
Super easy to do don’t be afraid to tackle it. Entire kit with 4 wheels was $34 and included a belt and tensioner.
Btw it was the rear wheels that were worn. More common that I’ve seen whenever I’ve replaced them myself.
We did break the door switch in the process (it crumbled) another $15 mistake. Took 2 of us 10 minutes to tear down the dryer and remove the drum.
There were around 15 screws and a few harness zip ties and it all carefully comes apart in sections. Be careful with those connectors they can get fragile when the dryer ages.
Thank you for saving me the cost of a new dryer.
You're very welcome, Tommy! Glad we were able to help you with the repair!
Thank you !!! Followed your video and saved quite a few bucks!!!
Great video and extremely helpful. Had to replace the rollers a couple times due to flat spots. My rollers failed because the long hair form my wife and 2 daughters gets caught up in the rollers. They ultimately slow, seize, and flat spot creating a loud thumping noise. This did the trick and it's very simple.
Awesome video, thank you so much. Your instructions save me paying for a service call. Please know that your work on the video is appreciated.
Excellent walkthrough, just followed along and finished this replacement. I had one roller with a visibly flat edge and one with failed bearings that burned up from the center.
My LG had well made sheet metal parts with edges safer than in most appliances, but the standard safety warning applies - be careful reaching into tight spots and handling exposed edges. Also if the control panel is left sitting on top of the wobbly panel sides it may fall on your head when reaching for the 2 back rollers. You might want to tape it to the top of the panels or unplug all the connectors and set it aside.
Nice camera work to show the placement of the belt on the pulley 👍
Thank you much for tools needs mentioned . Love your shows
Thank you for all your help. I fixed my dryer with your detailed instructions. Saved me a few hundred bucks. 😊
Thank you so much! I don't mind paying someone to do the work but we were going to have to wait a week or more for the repair. I ordered the parts at Amazon and had the work done two days later. This video made that possible. Exactly what I needed!
hy do you have the part numbers
you help me fix my dryer!Thankyou so much
Thank You So much the video was perfect...1-1/2 hours ,cleaned the whole dryer out and now it works incredible.
Great video just replaced the rollers and cleaned my dryer. Sounds like new thank you.
i have four screws that im unsure of where they go. 2 long screws with a flat tip and 2 short pointed tip can you tell me when putting the door panel back on you had used 2 screws to attach it to the area of the door and the lint collector are those either the long flat or the short pointed screws? This really is the best video with step by step instructions im sure id be lost and alot more questions had i followed someone elses. Thank you!!
Hey Steve. I did the repair and it worked great but the lower front roller will not engage the drum no matter what I try. Any idea of what is going on? Maybe the felt strips are worn? The drums spins fine but is only supported by 3 of the 4 rollers.
Thanks for a great video.
Bill
Thanks so much for all your time!
Steve, do you do any repairs on a GE Profile refrigerator ? French door with inside ice maker
Great video. I just found it after I changed out 1 frozen roller. I wish I saw this first.
Awesome video
My dryer is screeching when on what part or parts should I replace? Dryer is identical to yours. Thank you
Thank you, thank you , the video does make it a easy fix
Thank you!
Thank you!!! This repair only cost 28$!!!
excellent, saved me lots of money!
oops Mike....sorry, love your videos
i replaced the rollers but it is still making noise. but not as much as before.
is there a break in period to get rid of the noise?
Hi my dryer works fine as far as heating up spinning, but the tub needs to be reset cuz it's wobbly. So is this how I fix it?
Nice video. Thank you
Great video!
Question... Can you re-purpose the threaded shaft in those old rollers to use in new trollers? If not, looks like I'll have to go back to parts store. Also, those are quit a bit more money with shaft in place. Please advice.
Hi Todd, if the roller shaft is not damaged, you should be able to clean carefully and then lubricate with a non wax based oil.
ToddB987 I bought 2 rollers with shaft or 28 Free shipping from Amazon an they worked great.
Awesome video, thank you so much for the instructions. Saved a service call. Please know that you are ap
This video was super helpful. Only issue for me was it didn’t fix my issue 😂😂😂
Are there four rollers total? Two front and two back? are they all the same?
there are four... Steve doesn't show doing the second one in the back, and there is also a second one in the front. Yes all the same rollers. The two in the back are a little difficult to change out bc of reach... but doable
Replaced roller reassembled except for vent hook up now smells hot .What is wrong
Hey is it normal for it to burn clothes because mine did ..
Your video editor stinks. you show the 2 screws on the left side of the front panel being taken out and then the right side then when you go back to take off the top cross piece the 2 screws have to be taken out again. Get professional.
Happy I Kevin Mcgrath you should be ashamed of yourself! Complaining about the editor. Just follow along! I’m a female and I followed him perfectly! This saved me so much money. $500 dollars to be exact. I really don’t appreciate your comment.
"Get professional" You should follow your own advice.
Thank you. Thank you!
