The Problem

The customer reported a squealing noise coming from their LG dryer during use. This type of sound typically indicates internal mechanical issues that require immediate attention.

Diagnosis

After disassembling the unit for inspection, we found that the drum had cracked. A cracked drum can create friction and misalignment issues, resulting in the squealing noise the customer experienced.

• Work performed: Diagnosis completed, reaching out to LG to see if they’ll send a replacement drum
• Result: Awaiting manufacturer response for warranty coverage

Is It Worth Repairing?

The DLE7100W is a solid mid-range LG dryer that typically provides reliable service for many years. A cracked drum is a significant repair, but if LG provides warranty coverage for the part, it would make this repair very worthwhile. LG dryers are generally well-built and worth maintaining when major components can be obtained at reasonable cost.

Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating and reduce strain on the drum assembly
• Inspect the drum seals periodically for wear that could allow debris to enter the drum area
• Avoid overloading the dryer, which can cause excessive stress on the drum and drive components
