After six months of use, I can confidently say this dryer repair kit with roller bearings has been a lifesaver. The bearings are incredibly smooth, which has significantly reduced the noise and improved the overall performance of my dryer. There have been no issues since installation; everything operates smoothly and efficiently. If you're looking for a reliable, long-lasting solution to dryer roller problems, this kit is definitely worth the investment.

Excellent kit! Our dryer started getting really loud and sure enough I found one drum wheel had completely broke off. I spent about two hours cleaning and replacing everything included in the kit. Everything fit perfectly and now our dryer is whisper quiet! Saved us about 1000 bucks for a new dryer!

LG DLEX5680 making horrible noise while running and started taking two cycles to dry laundry. Wife had enough of it so I pulled it apart. Noise was from one roller drum wheel bushing which had grinded down to the plastic and several flat spots on a couple wheels. The bottom of the dryer was covered in metal shavings from the wheel bushing. The pulley had a deep groove from the belt and figured the belt and spring were probably past their serviceable life as well. Bought this kit off Amazon, it arrived the next day, replaced all (4) four drum rollers, belt, and pulley along with the heating element. In total it took about 4 hours including cleaning a ton of lint out of it.I installed HVAC heat foil tape around the dryer exhaust vent going from the lint trap to outside and the heating element to the back. I wanted to minimize heat inside the dryer shell and keep the lint contained to reduce potential fire hazard. HVAC heat foil tape you can buy at Amazon, Lowes or Home Depot its spendy about $30 for a roll that has a 300+ degree rating, we had some that I used to replace older heat tape on our furnace ducting which had come off.Don't use duct tape it will just melt or catch fire especially if you decide to seal the lint and heating element duct paths. Usually you shouldn't need to tape anything as the sheet metal fit is tight. The replacement heating element while it fit, had some play and gaps you can see in my last photo which would allow heat to escape into the dryer shell and not into the dryer drum as designed. Additionally, the lint duct must have had a gap or pulled apart at some point as the inside was caked in lint. I put two pan head sheet metal screws through the lint duct and the housing to hold the duct then HVAC taped it. Shouldn't have any issues moving forward, dryer runs like new, quite and clothes dry within one cycle.I was kind of surprised the drum rollers didn't have a sealed bearing just a bushing. A few dollars more or better design the dryer drum rollers would run for the dryers lifetime. High quality parts dip into the vendors service revenue stream I guess.This is an easy install anyone can do it, just remember to pull the power plug and shut off the gas when working on it. Highly recommend this kit or one like it for your dryer, it cost me $83 to fix it, less than the price of a service call.

I've seen some complaints that these aren't equipped with ball bearings and don't last as long as OEM. I didn't see any ball bearings in my OEM when I took them out for locking up, after a decade-plus of use. So far, so good with these. I did add a drop of Mobile 1 0W-20 oil to each (hey, it's what our cars use), and they seem to be working fine. If I have to get another set, I'll probably try a dry graphite lube, but . . . these spin fine, so not worrying about it yet. The price was definitely right, as was the fact that . . . they were available at all!

Taking the Kenmore Elite gas dryer apart and installing the new rollers, tensioner and belt was fairly straight forward. I cleaned the inside of small lint spots as I was taking it apart and it was clean putting it back together. On the first test run, I heard a "brushing" or "rubbing" sound as the drum was turning. It is hard to say if it is from a roller or something else. It is certainly not as quiet as it was new, but better than before. One roller (back, right) had failed and was the root cause of the banging noise. The belt and tensioner looked good, but I replaced them too. I'll continue to monitor the new noise I am hearing and will most likely have to disassemble and inspect again.

Our dryer (LG DLGX5001) is about 7 years old and started making a horrible rubbing noise when running. I figured it was the rollers and took it apart to confirm. I found these after a quick search and since the price seemed reasonable and I could get them overnight, I ordered them. They don't match 1:1 with the OEM parts, but they fit no problem and the dryer is running like it used to. I'm not sure how they will hold up long term, but they're not super difficult to replace if needed. I ended up replacing all four rollers, the belt and tensioner since they were included. I did notice that the bearings in the roller had a slight noise to them that the OEM ones didn't, but it doesn't seem to be audible over the other noises of the dryer. I also ended up reusing the OEM washer and nuts since they were slightly larger than the ones that came in this kit (they'd fit, but I wanted to keep the larger sized ones).

These were exactly what we were looking for, and the quality seems good. We had to watch an extensive video to figure out how to install them, but with a little time and hard work, these worked out perfectly and our dryer sounds smoother than even before the issue arose.

Easy to install thanks to YouTube university and effective. Was able to fix the dryer and avoid purchasing a new one. The dryer I have is model number DLG5988S.
