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.

Jody G for Model Number LG Dryer Model: DLE2515S

Hi, my dryer starting making a thumping noise (like all the others I have read about ;-)), but then it developed a crack in the drum. I'm thinking a roller must've developed a flat spot and because of the continuation it cracked the drum. I would just like confirmation that I am indeed ordering the correct parts to fix this. I have 4 rollers (part # AP5688895) and the drum assembly (part #AP5736149). Is there anything else you think I should be addressing? Thanks in advance for the help! Jody

Jody, Based on the description and the parts that you plan on ordering it sounds like your are right on track and would not need any other parts.

Dave for Model Number LG DLE5932S

In the parts schematic, K250 refers to the entire roller assembly (with axle) while K251 refers to strictly the drum roller wheel. Your site points to the same part number for /both/ K250 and K251 (Part Number AP5688895). Two questions: 1. Is this a database error by chance? Your competitors have different parts for K250 vs. K251. I'd rather buy from you :) 2. For an oft-used 7 year old appliance, how likely will I need new roller axles? I know the wheels are shot but the wheels are about 1/4 the price of the wheels+axle & would rather not spend unnecessarily. Thanks!

Hello Dave, The part number, 4581EL3001A, that includes the wheels only, now crosses to the wheel and shaft assemblies 4581EL2002C, 4581EL2002L. This is a change done by LG.

Cathy, You would need to have 4 roller assembly 4581EL2002L if you need to replace all of them. The rollers come with studs for the rollers.

Alicia for Model Number dpgt750 GE Dryer

All the parts I have already replaced have turned out to be LG parts. When I order them under the GE part number, they cost 50% more, up to double the price of the exact GE part. I know that they are the exact same parts because a belt I recently purchased has the GE part sticker placed over the LG sticker. I have already replaced this part once, with the LG part, and the belts are both the same, made in USA by Goodyear. My question is: I would like to order drum rollers also and the LG rollers cost way less. Is this LG part number the corresponding part for GE part WE03X10008? LG: 4581EL2002C Thanks so much!

1 Answer

Hello Alicia. Sorry, but we have no way of crossing parts to different manufactures. You will need to contact the manufacture for this information.

Chuck, The squeak is most likely going to be caused by the rollers on the shaft. Replacing the rollers will normally stop this issue.

Hello John, The rollers would not have any bearing on the motor not turning the drum. This issue would be a bad motor 4681EL1008A not allowing drum to rotate.

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.
