Michael B Dublin , OH January 07, 2017 Appliance: LG Dryer DLE5977W Lg dryer making loud noises From reading "troubleshooting" sites on the internet, originally thought I'd be replacing the front & rear drum rollers, so I ordered the rollers, and a new belt before I opened up the dryer, taking it out of use. When I opened it up the front rollers were "shot", and the front bulkhead was "totaled". Waited for parts to arrive (within 2 days), and successfully replaced front & rear rollers, bulkhead, drum seal. The on-line videos really helped me ensure I was keeping in the right order. My wife says it runs quieter now than when it was new !! Read More... 22 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set

Terry H Gulf Breeze , FL July 08, 2017 Appliance: Model DLE5977W (ABWEEUS) No heat. Found the high heat thermostat was defective.I made the mistake of just replacing it instead of investing in the other parts while I had the dryer apart unit was 12 yrs old. The new high heat thermostat failed in a few days so I did what my gut instinct told me in the 1st place & replaced the heater, thermistor, blower thermostat an while I had it apart also replaced the drum seals & belt. LIKE NEW NOW ! Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Screwdrivers
Bjorn A Marietta , GA October 01, 2018 Worn drum seals Removed old seals and cleaned of old glue using a razor blade. Had to stretch seals slightly to fit the drum and glued them using high-temp glue. The glue is pretty messy so take care to only get it where you want it.
