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 different than shown in the video. No locking tabs. My control panel has a screw hidden behind a plastic tab "press here", on the right hand side corner (as you face machine) which you remove, THEN the whole control panel will slide from left to right for removal . You may have to use a mallet on the left hand side with a light tap to unlodge it. With my control panel, it was not necessary to disconnect all, rather just some, of the terminals so I was able to lay the whole thing to the side and proceed. The rest of the disassembly went according to the video. Turned out my belt was frayed and one of my rollers was bad. Replaced both items and will return the unused parts for a full refund.
First off let me say your video was such a great help with this project. I found the video when I did a Google search for the noise my dryer was making. Let me say this dryer is over 20 years old and this was the first repair that ever needed to be made on it. The step by step instructions were spot on. The link to the parts on your web site was helpful, however I found the wheels cheaper on Amazon but not a big deal. I know you guys have to make a living. I found 4 wheels for the cost of 2 of yours. But again, I totally get it. So for the cost of the rollers and a set of metric wrenches from Home Depot (Grand total of $63.84) I broke the dryer down, cleaned out the UN GODLY amount of lent and replaced all 4 rollers (Only one roller was bad but why not just replace all 4 while I'm in there) for less then $100. A local repair guy quoted me over $450 to do the same thing. 2 years ago, I used your step by step video to replace two water valves in the LG washer we have. So, my hope is with these two simple repairs I may have extended the washer and dryer another 15 to 20 years. You guys ROCK and thank you for providing the videos.
Ordered the correct parts from your website, and it arrived very quickly. The video made the roller install very easy as it takes you from from start to finish.
This was a great video. My wife and I were able to fix our dryer following these instructions.
Best DIY video that I have ever seen! Made repairing the dryer fun.
We had a dryer almost identical to the one you did your tutorial with. Our dryer was squealing and smelling like smoke. YIKES! We ordered all the parts you show replacing as we followed along on your video. A big thanks! We're back in business now with a 'like' new dryer.
I know this is an old video, but just wanted to say thanks! Fixed our freight train sounding dryer after about 1 hour of work and $40 in parts! Thank you, thank you!
Excellent instructions, thank you. The kit I bought came with the belt tensioner arm (I don't know if that is the official name) and spring, but the pictures showing the arm in place was all I needed.
Muy buenos videos...de mucha ayuda....y muy profesionales Dios les bendiga
You are such a good technician !
Your videos are great and helpful. Maybe list all the tools you'll need for the job in the notes, so we can gather up front. For all your repair vids. Thanks!
Great video but my model LG is different. The computer board is on the left side panel. There are only two connectors that need disconnected but they made them very hard. First there are two standoffs holding the cables needing disconnected that have built in cable ties. I had to cut the standoffs off to get the cable loose. Also the locking tabs are not the old simple style where you press on the lever to release. You need a tool to spread the two sides of the connector apart while you pull the cable out. To make matters worse on on connector on the circuit board the locking tab was facing down. It took me at least and 1/2 hour just to disconnect those two connectors. I had a thumping sound when the dryer was running so I bought replacement wheels. I got LG OEM newer style with sealed roller bearings and a metal C clip. They seemed to have more slop than all four of the older wheels (wiggling wheel). They do roll much better, if you spin it with your finger it rolls for over 10 seconds where the old ones only roll for one second. I only bought two because of the cost and didn't think all four would be bad. Put the new ones on the back and reused the front wheels. There was no wear on the rubber of the wheels and they didn't wobble. It makes the same thumping noise! Tried leaving the top off and touching the drum when running and didn't notice any movement with the drum. I could try two more wheels but I don't think that is it. What else can make a thump sound every revolution? Fyi the top was much heavier than I thought when removing it!
Thank you for the detailed explanations with excellent views (connector demates, belt tensioner, rollers, etc), sure helped empower me to do this job.
Fantastic video! Super appreciate it!!
Can re-purpose threaded shaft of of old roller and put them on new rollers?. I just bought new rollers with no new shaft.
Are the rollers of the same size for different LG dryers?
thanks guys! dryer started squeeking so ill be purchasing all the movable parts (excluding motor)
Changed rollers put back together except vent turned on and smells hot. What to do now ,is something in wrong.
Now when I put the drum roll back on it doesn’t sit up properly on the new rear wheels. Please help!
