Samsung Dryer Repair – Canton, OH

A Samsung front load dryer in Canton, OH started making a loud squeaking noise while running. The homeowner called Louisville Appliance Repair because the dryer worked but the squeaking was getting worse. Our diagnosis found one of the support rollers had failed.

The Problem

The customer reported a squeaky Samsung front load dryer that worked but just started making a loud squeaking noise while running. The noise occurred throughout the cycle and was getting progressively louder.

Diagnosis

After removing the top and front panels, we found one of the support rollers had failed. These rollers support the drum as it rotates, and when they wear out or seize up, they create the characteristic squeaking sound this customer experienced.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: DC97-16782A — Assembly Plastic (support roller)
• Work performed: Replaced the failed support roller
• Result: After replacing it the dryer is operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung dryers are generally reliable machines, and support roller replacement is a common repair that extends the life significantly. This repair typically costs much less than replacement and can give you several more years of service from your dryer.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the drum support system
• Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow makes the motor work harder
• Don’t overload the drum as excess weight accelerates roller wear
