How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP5972814 / 4400EL2001F Dryer Belt

We ordered a belt and 4 drum support rollers because we thought if we are going to open the dryer we might as well replace the belt and all 4 rollers. The belt had a little wear and was starting to fray. One of the rear wheels was worn and caused the noise. Your online video was helpful. We also found another YouTube video that had step-by-step instructions for replacing the drum rollers on the LG dryer: https://youtu.be/VhfAA25JhFU When we started the dryer it was very quiet and functioned just like it did when it was new. Thank you so much for saving us from purchasing a new dryer. 

We decided to change the drive belt, all 4 roller assembly's and the idle pulley. Your video was great and a big help!!! The rollers were worn and belt was stiff and hard. Pulley was worn too. Up and running in 2 hrs. but forgot to check heater fuses so will do the take down one more time as it is not heating properly. Saved $300.00. Will be ordering the heater coils next. After that, it should be a new dryer!! Thank You so much for fast service and having the parts. Marcia, in Alaska 

Went in as show on video. No problems encountered. 

Replaced drum support roller, I also replaced the belt and the pulley, idle 

I followed the excellent step-by-step video to replace the belt. To remove the motor, you have to remove the cover to the squirrel cage. Then use a socket (1/2") and pliers to remove the squirrel cage from the motor. The pliers hold the shaft while the socket removes the nut (remove by turning clockwise). There are two metal fasteners holding the motor in place that need to be removed - one on each end - and removed it. I then seated the new motor and did everything in reverse. If you search YouTube, you can find a video demonstrating how to remove the motor. The actual tear down, repair, and rebuild were pretty easy thanks to the video. The location of my dryer made this a much longer process. 

I could not believe how fast I received the parts to repair my dryer. Thank You AppliancePartsPros.com for your excellent service. 

I watched the video on how to change the belt on my dryer. I removed the drum and replaced the exposed rollers. Reversed the process to put it back together. About an hour to do repair because I cleaned and vacuumed the entire interior. Works great. 

Replaced all 4 drum rollers. I had replaced the belt, idler pulley and one roller about a year and a half ago. Should have broken down and replaced all of the rollers then. Had to go back in when two more of them failed recently. The video made the repair much easier. 

Replaced drum support rollers and while it was apart installed a new belt. Really a pretty simple process after watching a YouTube video on my particular LG model. 

Replaced dryer drum support wheel. While I was at it replaced all the support wheels, the drum belt and the idler pully.
