My dad added some anti seize lubricant for a temporary solution until I can replace the rollers. Anyone know where I can get a set of 4 for cheap? I don't want to and refuse to buy aftermarket junk. I am surprised it lasted this long. I got the unit in September and the rollers were squeaking but it worked otherwise. lasted 2 months. Serial number indicates Manufactured March 2006.

lots of LG, and Samsung parts. I paid $24 2 years ago for drum rollers , belt and idler pulley kit for our Whirltag 7.3 cu. ft. dryer. The grease is a temporay fix, as lint and dust can build up and dry it out. |

Usually you only need to replace the one that failed, the others can be cleaned and one or two drops of light oil added to the shaft [ they should not be greased ]
90% of the time the RR roller near the heater or gas burner is the one that fails, a 2006 LG dryer will not likely last long enough to put $100 worth of rollers in it.
This advice also goes for WP built 4 roller dryers, I don't think I have ever put more than one roller on one, if you clean and oil them before they seize or get noisy they will outlast the dryer.

Today I went to the used appliance store and got some more parts for free from a donor. Today I replaced the Motor,Idler pulley and the According to you John. "The cheap and flammable plastic blower housing" (Not trying to disrespect you By the way) With a metal one. I noticed many revisions on it. it removes 2 screws. The motor is also an updated motor. It is better then the original one this unit came with. Much quieter. Now I only have to wait for the rollers to wear in and I should be good to go for at least a year.
