Charlie March 11, 2023 for Model Number DLG2522W My LG 1SZZEL3001A started making some noise. I ordered the roller kits, drum belt and the idler pulley assembly as these are parts which are potentially causing the problem. After I removed the roller, I didn't really see any obvious broken/bad roller/idler pulley, I went ahead and replaced the drum belt and the idler pulley anyway. I didn't replace any of the rollers as they appear to be ok. But the noise still didn't go away. I opened the dryer up again, and feel the idler pulley has more room to move along the axle than necessary. I suspect that causes more vibration(pure speculation). Also when I put the screw(1SZZEL3001A) in, it cannot be tighened at the end. Is that supposed to be? I understand that the screw is custome made and allows the idler pulley to move around the axle freely. Also, is that possible that the noise is caused by one or more of the rollers even though they are appear to be ok? Thank you
1 Answer Charlie, This would most likely be a roller issue since the idler pulley and belt have been replaced. Also, check the blower wheel to make sure that the wheel is not damaged in any way. Read More...

1 Answer Tony, the mounting screw 1SZZEL3001A may work, however, for the most accurate information regarding a compatible bolt the model number would be necessary. Read More...
Timothy May 16, 2019 for Model Number DLGX7188 The parts list an Idler Pulley assembly ($20) and then just the pulley by itself ($14). How often is it the whole assembly that goes bad vice bearing in pulley? Should you expect to change out the belt if the Idler Pulley has not been working for a couple of cycles (not sure how long the belt should last?).
1 Answer Timothy,as a general rule you would replace the pulley assembly 4561EL3002A if the pulley itself is worn out and or noisy.This is due to the fact that the pulley uses a bushing sleeve turning on a shaft that is part of the idler arm bracket, both can be worn,as well as the tension spring can get weak..Also as another general rule a new drum belt can be installed same time .You can inspect the belt for obvious signs of wear/cracking. If you need the drum belt it is 4400EL2001F. Read More...

Peter April 04, 2016 for Model Number DLE5977S I can't fix the Idler Pulley Assembly because its bolt has damaged thread. So I can't tight it on the bracket. As result it was loosen and dropped off. I can't see that "shoulder" bolt in your part list. Spare Idler Pulley Assembly as I see on your video comes without that bolt. Can you, please, tell me where this bolt available? Can you send it for me? Thank you
Mike April 28, 2014 for Model Number DLG2525S Hi! On your diagram for the Pulley Assembly for this dryer, there is a triangular washer or fastener (we need 2). Do you sell this piece separately? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Mike! Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not offer the triangular washer separate from the pulley 4561EL3002A. Sorry about that! Read More...
Paul V. March 22, 2014 for Model Number LG DRYER DLG5932W If you can move the plastic pulley wheel up and down the shaft, is it bad? Is the wheel suppose to be set and not suppose to move up and down the shaft? The motor is vibrating and laboring. The 4 wheels are ok and no clogs. Regards to new pulley assembly for motor.
1 Answer Hello Paul, The idler pulley can move from one side of the idler shaft to the other. This is normal operation. Check the blower housing and spin of the motor with the belt off. Something could be in the blower fan or a bearing could be failing in the motor assembly 4681EL1008A. Read More...
Tony October 27, 2013 for Model Number lg tromm dle2515s I am replacing my pulley assembly. Does the micro switch latch go under the arm or on top?
1 Answer Hello Tony. The switch goes under it so that when the belt is installed, it does not make contact with the switch. Then if the belt breaks, it will shut down the unit. Read More...
