Most common repairs needed to fix a LG dryer

Drum Support Roller Replacement

A worn drum support roller can make your dryer noisy. The support roller helps keep the drum in place as the drum spins inside the dryer cabinet. A worn roller wheel will make a clunking sound as the drum spins and hits flat spots on the roller wheel. The dryer can make whining or grinding sounds as parts rub against each other when the drum support roller wears out. When your dryer makes noise, have a Sears Home Services Expert visit your home and replace the drum support roller if it’s worn.

Blower Wheel Replacement

A damaged blower wheel will make a loud noise in the dryer when it’s running. The blower wheel moves air through the heater and into the dryer drum to dry the clothes. The blower wheel can eventually wear out and start vibrating and making loud noises as it spins. When you hear the dryer making loud vibrating or rattling noises, have a Sears Home Services Technician examine the dryer. The technician will replace the blower wheel if it’s damaged.

Drum Belt Replacement

When your dryer is noisy, a worn or broken drum belt could be causing the problem. A worn drum belt will slip across the drum and can cause a rubbing noise. If the belt breaks, it can cause a knocking noise as belt remnants are slung around inside the dryer by the drive motor. When your dryer makes loud noises and isn’t working as it should, schedule service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services Technician to your home to fix the dryer.

Excellent service from Daniel

Daniel provided excellent service and was very quick to perform the repair. I have nothing good to say about the warranty program and the LACK of customer service and the inability to contact a human being to talk.

Dryer service

He was professional and polite. I didn't call back later that afternoon, although he replaced a thermostat the smart dry timer doesn't work as I was still having the same issue. The lady said she would email him and have him return. Never heard from anyone else.
