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:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
I consulted with the internet and your website and determined I had a bad roller wheel. I was going to buy just one but determined if you have to take the thing apart, just replace all of them. These lasted 10 years after all. Opened up You Tube for the method to take the dryer apart. After doing the washer last year, I felt pretty bold and just ripped into the project. Within 30 minutes I had the drum out and located the problem wheel ( rear right side). It was locked up due to hair build up... Read more
The Belt is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers that is responsible for connecting the motor to the drum to allow it to tumble. Over time, dryer belts can stretch, wear out, or even break, leading to a drum that won't turn and clothes that don't dry properly.
Symptoms of a bad Dryer Belt include:
Causes of failure can include regular wear and tear from the dryer's operation, overloading the dryer beyond its capacity, which puts extra strain on the belt, or a misalignment that causes uneven wear. A damaged belt can prevent your dryer from functioning correctly, leading to inefficiency in drying clothes and potential motor damage due to unnecessary strain.
This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.
I disassembled/reassembled the dryer according to the ApplianceParts Youtube video. With my limited electrical knowledge (just enough to be dangerous) I initially figured it was a problem with the heating unit, sensor(s), or the control board. After diagnosing the problem (bad thermistor), I had to order the parts and was able to repair and reassemble the dryer several days later. After removing the drum, I cleaned all the dust etc. out of the inside (it gets dirty in there!) and inspected,... Read more
The Dryer Blower Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers. It plays a role in regulating the operation of the blower motor, which is responsible for circulating hot air throughout the dryer during the drying cycle.
Causes of a bad dryer blower thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, physical damage, or simply wear and tear over time.
Symptoms of a bad dryer blower thermostat include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
Checked and cleaned vent which was in need of cleaning, but not too bad (I do not consider this a primary causal detail, but can be a problem, so clean yours). Replaced Hi-Limit Thermostat (safety thermostat) after confirming the circuit was open with ohm meter. While I was in there, I completely cleaned the heater and ducting and internal workings of the dryer. Confirmed the heater coils were good via 20ohm, 20ohm, 40ohm readings (LG service manual has wrong readings). Two weeks later, same... Read more
The Dryer Moisture Sensor Bar is an OEM part for LG dryers. It plays a critical role in detecting the moisture level of clothes during the drying cycle, enabling the dryer to adjust the drying time automatically. This ensures efficient operation, preventing over-drying, which can damage fabrics and increase energy consumption.
Symptoms of a bad Dryer Moisture Sensor Bar include:
Causes of a bad moisture sensor bar can stem from a buildup of lint and fabric softener residue, which insulates the sensor and impairs its ability to accurately detect moisture. Additionally, wear and tear or damage from loading and unloading can affect its functionality.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to ensure that your LG dryer operates efficiently and preserves the life of your clothes.
After I cleaned out the typical 1.5 pounds of lint from the vent, ( I do it every 2 months), I went searching for a solution. I found 6 possible causes on this site and purchased everything except a new burner; I wasn't going to go that far. Let the fun begin. Since my vacuum was still nearby, I thought I was ready for anything. Wrong. After I watched all the videos again for reassurance, I went in with screwdriver in hand and laptop nearby. I removed the top and looked inside. Don't be fooled,... Read more
Note: Does not include moisture sensor bars. For the moisture sensor bars, order 2 of part# 6500EL3001A.
The Guide Cover is an OEM part for LG dryers. The part allows dust and debris to exit the dryer drum while preventing small clothing items from slipping through.
Causes of a bad Guide Cover can include accumulation of lint and debris that can restrict airflow, physical damage from handling or excessive use, and general wear that can compromise the fit and effectiveness of the cover.
Symptoms of a bad Guide Cover include:
I have order three parts, guide filter, cover guide, and sensor assembly. My previous cover guide was from two parts, when sensor assembly was one of them. New part ( guide cover ) was all in one piece so I just transfer old metal part of sensor to new cover guide and I don't need that sensor assembly anymore. I have ordered all three parts overnight by Fedex, ordered 15 min before 5pm, so next day it was here. Dryer is fixed, I'm happy. Read more

I purchased a new replacement. Read more
Maintains tension on your dryer's drum belt for smooth rotation. Replace if pulley wheel is cracked, shaft worn, or assembly moves excessively during operation.
Was going to order 4 new wheel & spindle sets, then saw you could get just the wheel for 1/3 the cost, so I ordered those. Then in the frequently ordered other items I saw the idler wheel assy. So I ordered one of those also. Glad I did, it was in worse shape than any of the wheels which still seemed to spin freely after I got all the hairs and crap off them. Anyways, went by the video step by step. Pretty straightforward. Have a good vacuum handy, I’m surprised that it used to dry at all... Read more
Dryer not heating or overheating? The high limit thermostat shuts off heat at unsafe temperatures. Moderate difficulty repair requiring partial disassembly.
Replace your dryer drum seal when clothes take longer to dry or you notice lint buildup. Maintains heat efficiency and prevents air leaks. Confirm fit with your model number.
From reading "troubleshooting" sites on the internet, originally thought I'd be replacing the front & rear drum rollers, so I ordered the rollers, and a new belt before I opened up the dryer, taking it out of use. When I opened it up the front rollers were "shot", and the front bulkhead was "totaled". Waited for parts to arrive (within 2 days), and successfully replaced front & rear rollers, bulkhead, drum seal. The on-line videos really helped me ensure I was keeping in the right order. My...

Dryer won't heat or takes too long to dry? A faulty igniter often causes no heat in gas dryers. Moderate DIY repair with front panel removal required.
I first ordered a thermostat and ignitor and replaced and that did not work. I asked Appliance Parts Pros their opinion in the chat and they said it was the coils in the gas valve but you had to replace the entire valve as the coils are not sold individually. So i ordered the part and also replaced the thermistor and drum belt while i had the dryer apart anyway! And this fixed the problem! These guys are the absolute best and most helpful i have ever dealt with. This is the second time i... Read more
Guides and secures the lint filter in place within your dryer. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to properly hold the lint screen assembly.
Idler pulley maintains tension on the dryer belt. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing belt slippage. Installs between motor and drum support system.
I have an LG dryer purchased in 2007. Model: DLE9577SM. It was squeaking at start-up and rumbling a little. Not knowing what parts I would actually need, I ordered rollers with/without assemblies, tensioner pulley-only, new belt. After viewing this video a couple of times, I attacked my machine which is located in the comfort of my garage. Lots of room to spread out. Nice. This disassembly went OK however because, I suspect, my machine is 13 years old, the removal of the control panel was... Read more
Converting your dryer from natural gas to propane? This LP conversion kit includes the orifice and components needed. Moderate difficulty repair.
Ordered conversion kit from Appliance Parts Pros.com and installed it myself. Most difficult part of the repair, was the removal of the front casing of the dryer to access the location of venturi tube to be changed out. The instructions were helpful, but not specific enough for my dryer. Once the casing was off, the job was not too difficult - you will need a set of short screwdrivers to remove the burner flange and close the pressure adjustment screw, normal length screw drivers will come into...

The Drum Motor Assembly is an OEM part for LG dryers. It serves as the powerhouse that drives the drum, enabling it to tumble clothes during the drying cycle. This essential component ensures your dryer operates smoothly, providing the necessary torque for consistent and efficient drying performance.
Causes of failure might include wear and tear from prolonged use, overload from trying to dry heavy loads, electrical issues like short circuits, or physical damage to the motor components.
Symptoms of a bad Drum Motor Assembly include:
Replaced drive motor assembly. As luck would have it, the replacement motor was loud but at least ran for the entire cycle. APP was informed of the excessively noisy motor and immediately sent out a replacement, which is working just fine in relative silence. Tools used: Philips head screwdriver, channel lock pliers, 13mm socket, shop vac. Steps Disassembly 1. disconnect from power, press the on button to discharge potential residual power 2. remove top, disconnect wire harness from control... Read more

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
This was a pretty simple install if you know how to take apart your dryer. I have a kenmore dryer which is identical to an LG dryer. My kenmore dryer was actually made by LG at that time. You can find the specific model on youtube and see how your dryer comes apart. While doing this i cleaned all the inner parts of my dryer. The parts that come in the kit can be bought at home depot for much less but you don't know what length you need. I ordered the kit so I could have the back plate and... Read more
