LG Dryer Repair – Kent, OH (DLE5977S)

We serviced an LG dryer in Kent, OH that was making noise. Our diagnosis revealed worn drum support components that needed replacement to restore quiet operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their LG dryer was making noise during operation. This type of issue typically develops gradually as internal components wear from normal use.

Diagnosis

We found that the idler pulley and four support rollers had worn out, causing the noisy operation. These components are critical for smooth drum rotation and quiet performance in LG dryers.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4561EL3002A (pulley assembly – motor), 4581EL2002C (roller assembly)
• Work performed: Replaced the idler pulley and four support rollers
• Result: Dryer now operates quietly with smooth drum rotation

Is It Worth Repairing?

LG dryers are generally well-built appliances that respond well to component replacement. The DLE5977S is a solid model, and replacing worn drum support parts like pulleys and rollers is a cost-effective repair that can extend the unit’s life significantly.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent strain on the motor and pulley system
• Periodically check that the dryer is level to reduce unnecessary wear on support rollers
• Listen for early signs of noise changes, as catching pulley and roller wear early prevents more expensive damage
