The Roller Kit is an OEM part for LG dryers. This 4 roller kit includes replacement drum support rollers, which are essential for allowing the dryer drum to rotate smoothly during operation. The rollers are designed to provide stable support for the drum, minimizing noise and ensuring efficient drying performance. 

Over time, drum rollers can wear out due to continuous use, exposure to heavy loads, or lack of proper lubrication. When the rollers become damaged or worn, they may develop flat spots, lose their smooth surface, or begin to squeak. These issues can lead to improper drum rotation or increased strain on other dryer components.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Kit include:  

  • Loud squeaking, rumbling, or thumping noises during operation  
  • The dryer drum not spinning or rotating unevenly  
  • Excessive vibrations while the dryer is running  

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

Questions & Answers

For Lg Roller Kit (Part Number: OEM21661296)

1 Answer

Hello Beth,

If one failed, the others aren't far behind. I would not recommend to only replace one but all 4 drum rollers 4581EL2002L and the idler pulley 4560EL3001A to prevent going back in too soon. If a roller locks up during the cycle it will break the belt and cost you even more. Also, as a note, use a dry paper towel to remove any residue from the roller shafts before installing any of the wheels to prolong their life.

Hello Nick,

To access the roller assembly you will have to remover the top cover. There should be a couple of screws holding the control panel in place. Remove control panel. There should be screws to remove front panel. You would remove front panel and remove drum. With drum removed you can access the roller assembly.

Hello Frank,

This is most likely either a drum roller 4581EL2002L or an idler pulley 4560EL3001A. Be aware that there are four drum rollers inside the unit. Two in the front and two in the rear.

Hello Joe,

The LG support rollers 4581EL2002L are available. Unless you could get the manufacturer to show a satisfactory cross of the numbers, it isn't feasible to try as it could cause damage to the unit and could possibly become a hazard electrically.
