Customer Questions and Answers for Roller Kit by Lg

Manufacturer Part Number: 4581EL2002L

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)

Peter M for Model Number DLG5988W

My LG dryer recently started making a pretty loud rumbling noise when it runs, and maybe squeaking when it starts up. Looking at the information here, the most likely cause is a worn or damaged drum support roller. How many of these are present in my DLG5988W? Is it likely that only one of them needs to be replaced? I see that you have less than 100 of them in stock. (The dryer dates from 2007 or 2008). I have a matching LG washer that I've fixed a couple of times with your help (including an epic replacement of the spider assembly a couple of years ago) but I've never had to touch the dryer. Do the rollers have to be replaced from the back or from the front? Thank you.

Peter, This unit will use 4 rollers and if one has failed it is best to go ahead and replace all 4.

Shirley, You do not go in from the back of the dryer to get to the rollers. You will need to go in through the front and remove the drum to get to the rollers.

Steven, It is possible but I would recommend unstacking it so the machine is accessible for repairs.

Steven, You will want to determine where the noise is coming from and see if you can locate the problem. With noise issues, it is difficult to try and tell you what may be wrong because there are many different noises the unit could make. As for the heating and cooling light being on check the blower wheel to make sure that there is nothing caught in the blower housing. This could also be the cause of the noise.
