Smooth Operation for Six Months and Counting
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.

Replace all the common failure items at once with this kit
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.

Does the job for a good price
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).

Worked great, straightforward install
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.

Mostly good
A nice kit, with all the right parts, at a very good price. The rollers and belt are of good quality and worked perfectly. The pulley — not so much. The pulley made a rhythmic clicking sound that was very distracting, so I ended up reinstalling the old, used, worn, but still functional, original pulley.

Great, inexpensive kit to breath new life into an old dryer
Used this on a LG DLGX3471V gas dryer about 10 years old. It recently developed a rhythmic thumping from a failed drum roller. The dryer is mounted on top of our washer and initially I thought to call in a repair person to look at it. However, most places around me wanted $100 just to show up and diagnose the problem and refused to even quote a roller replacement when I told them I was pretty sure what the problem was with the unit.Looking at a few online videos, it seemed to be an easy fix and it was. I didn't even need to remove the dryer from the stack. I slid the whole thing out and did the work on a stepstool. From start to finish I was done in under three hours and that includes time spent vacuuming out all the accumulated lint, dust, and metal shavings from the failed drum roller and well as thoroughly cleaning the lint from the internal ducting. I also spent a few minutes disconnecting the gas line to access the unit more easily.As far as the product itself goes, the rollers seem to be of good quality and the idler pulley assembly and belt were exact replacements. All the components fit perfectly and on starting the dryer back up it seemed quieter than it had been even before the roller failure.Tools used: variable torque power drill with #2 Philips bit, 10 and 14 mm sockets, two adjustable wrenches.For DIYers, a few notes. Take plenty of photos as you go to help in putting things back together, group and label your various screws so you know where they came from, and pay attention to how the drum belt goes around the motor and the idler pulley *before* you remove it. It's hard to see when you are doing it but it's essential that you get it routed properly for the correct tension on the belt.
