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 Gary,
You should use a dry paper towel to clean the shafts and install the rollers dry. They are impregnated with a dry lubricant so when they wear, they self-lubricate. Never use a wet lubricant on the rollers since lint will stick to it and be pulled into the bushing and they will fail prematurely. If you must use something, use cornstarch or baby powder and do not use too much. Rotate them before reassembly since they can bind with too much.

Renee,

You will want to check the rollers and the idler pulley to make sure that they are good and visually inspect the belt to make sure that it is not damaged.

Denise A for Model Number LG TRomm DLE 3777W

I bought drum rollers believing that I could remove the axles from the old parts. Is that possible? If not, why do places sell drum rollers without them and not say those parts May/will be needed? Secondly, in disassembly, I found lint inside the dryer hull. I noted that the rubber seal on the back of where the lint trap is seems rotted. Is this replaceable, or should I have other concerns. I don't want to put it back together again and waste more time. Thanks!

Denise,

The seal on the lint filter will not be replaceable and they do not put it on them anymore. As for the roller it will come off the shaft and will just need to remove the triangle on the front of the axle then slide the roller off.

Hello Joseph,
It is not necessary to run the dryer until you need to dry clothes. The dryer belt should not stretch since it has strands in it to prevent stretching.

Hello Loren. If you see any damage on he belt or the pulley then you would need to replace them. Otherwise, they should be fine in the unit. Thanks.
