Lg 3045EL1002K Tub Assembly,Drum OEM Part

The first problem I had during this repair was finding the right drum for a DLE9577SM model. The part number had been succeeded several times and there was not any solid information on it untill I called the 24 / 7 phone number at Appliance Parts Pros. The technician that answered my call looked up my model number and gave me all the information I neede. He took my order vover the phone and I had a new OEM dryer tub at my house two and a half days later. The repair consisted of the follow. I removed the top panel by removing the three screws holding it to the rear panel. The top slides to the rear and then you lift it upward. I next remove the dryer front control panel and the lower panel blank (this dryer can be stacked, so you can move the control panel from the top to the bottom). I then removed the dryer front panel. It helps to watch one of the repairs videos for this part. After the front panel is removed, I removed the suction manifold connecting the suction fan to the lint trap housing. I removed the upper and lower support panels by removing two screws in each panel and disconnectinf a few electrical connectors. Did I mention that you need to unplug the dryer before doing any of this. If I didn't, then you will find out quickly that you need to do that. Once the support panels were removed, I disconnected the belt from the drive motor by pulling up on the tensioner and pulling the belt off of the drive pulley. At this point, you can remove the drum by lifting up on the front of the tub while pulling upward on the tub using the disconnected drive belt. While doing this repair, I inspected the drum rollers, belt tensioner, seals, and belt. I elected the replace the belt at the same time. So, in summary, I removed 17 screws to take the beast apart and it took about 10 minutes. I cleaned up the interior while waiting for the parts to arrive which took 2 minutes. It took about 10 minutes to put it back together in reverse order and I saved a lot of money.

I changed the drum and put a new belt on it and it works like brand new. Very simple job and Appliance Parts Pro had a video on how to do it it was very informative.

By watching your video i was able to take it apart and change the roller and drum in about 45 min

Remove top - remove front - remove brackets -replace tub and reassemble

Replaced the drum & took the opportunity to change the drive belt.
