XPARTCO DC97-16782A Dryer Drum Roller
The XPARTCO DC97-16782A is an aftermarket replacement drum support roller compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. The drum roller is a rear support wheel that cradles the dryer drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during every drying cycle. Over time, the rollers wear down, causing the drum to wobble, squeak, or thump during operation — replacing them restores quiet, stable drum rotation.
This roller features a self-lubricating bushing and includes the roller shaft and mounting tri-ring clips for a complete, ready-to-install assembly. It measures approximately 3-1/4 inches in diameter and directly replaces OEM part numbers DC97-16782A, DC97-07523A, and DC97-07523B. Sold individually — most Samsung dryers use two rear drum rollers, so we recommend replacing both at the same time. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-16782A Dryer Drum Roller fixes squeaking, thumping, or rumbling noises coming from Samsung and Kenmore dryers during operation. The drum roller supports the rear of the dryer drum — when worn, it causes noise and uneven drum rotation. Includes roller shaft and mounting clips. Approximately 3-1/4" diameter. Compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squeaking, thumping, or rumbling noise during dryer operation
Drum wobbling or vibrating excessively during the drying cycle
Grinding or scraping sound as the drum rotates
Dryer making noise that gets worse over time
Visible flat spots, cracks, or worn surfaces on existing drum rollers
Drum not rotating smoothly or spinning unevenly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. To access the drum rollers, remove the top panel and front panel of the dryer, then release the drum belt tension at the idler pulley and lift the drum out of the cabinet. The two rear drum rollers are located on the rear bulkhead. Remove the mounting clip, slide the old roller off the shaft, and install the new DC97-16782A roller — the shaft thread is clockwise. Reinstall the mounting clip to secure the roller. Replace both rear rollers at the same time even if only one appears worn. Reassemble the dryer, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the drum belt (6602-001655) and idler pulley (DC93-00634A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many drum rollers does my Samsung dryer need?
Most Samsung dryers have two rear drum support rollers. This listing is for a single roller. We strongly recommend replacing both rollers at the same time — even if only one appears damaged — since they wear at the same rate and replacing both prevents the need to disassemble the dryer again soon after.
What does the drum roller do?
The drum rollers are support wheels mounted on the rear bulkhead of the dryer. They cradle the back edge of the dryer drum and allow it to spin smoothly during operation. When the rollers wear down or develop flat spots, the drum wobbles and creates loud squeaking, thumping, or grinding noises.
Does DC97-16782A replace DC97-07523A and DC97-07523B?
Yes. The DC97-16782A is the updated part number that directly supersedes both DC97-07523A and DC97-07523B. If your dryer originally used either of those older part numbers, the DC97-16782A is the correct current replacement.
Should I also replace the drum belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer is already fully disassembled to replace the rollers, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the drum belt (6602-001655) and idler pulley (DC93-00634A) at the same time. These three parts wear together and are commonly sold as a dryer repair kit, saving you from having to take the dryer apart again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is made from durable rubber, plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original DC97-16782A roller.

XPARTCO DC32-00007A Dryer Thermistor
The XPARTCO DC32-00007A is an aftermarket replacement thermistor for Samsung, Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers. Mounted to the blower housing in the lower right corner of the dryer's interior, this thermistor monitors the air temperature inside the drum and reports it continuously to the control board, letting it regulate heat output throughout the cycle.
Rated 10K ohms at 77°F, measuring approximately 2"L x 1"W x 1-7/8"H with 5/8" between its mounting holes, finished in black metal and plastic. Unlike a thermal fuse or thermostat, a thermistor doesn't have continuity — it's a variable resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, so testing it requires a multimeter set to ohms rather than a continuity check. When this thermistor fails or reads inaccurately, the control board loses reliable temperature feedback, and symptoms include the dryer overheating, underheating, shutting off prematurely, or drying inconsistently from cycle to cycle. It directly replaces AP4201716, 2068429, PS4204984, N3S1-K41, N3SI-K41, PS2461163, EAP2461163, 35001191, DE0007A, 1185513, AH2038482, AP4045224, AP6008688, EA2038482, PD00001996, PS2038482, and PS11741828.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC32-00007A Dryer Thermistor fixes Samsung, Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers that overheat, underheat, shut off prematurely, or dry inconsistently from cycle to cycle. Rated 10K ohms at 77°F. Replaces AP4201716, 2068429, PS4204984, N3S1-K41, N3SI-K41, PS2461163, EAP2461163, 35001191, DE0007A, 1185513, AH2038482, AP4045224, AP6008688, EA2038482, PD00001996, PS2038482, PS11741828. Thermistors show resistance, not continuity — test with a multimeter set to ohms, not a continuity tester.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Test With A Multimeter Set To Ohms, Not Continuity Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the dryer, which typically requires removing several screws along the back and side panels. Locate the thermistor mounted to the blower housing in the lower right corner of the unit — it will have two wires connected to it. Before replacing, you can confirm the old thermistor has failed with a simple test: with power still disconnected, connect a multimeter (set to ohms, not continuity) to the thermistor's terminals, then use a hair dryer to blow hot air over it. A working thermistor's resistance reading should decrease as it heats up; if the reading doesn't change or seems wildly out of range, the thermistor has failed. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the old thermistor and pull it free, inspecting the area for any damage or corrosion. Confirm the new DC32-00007A fits easily into the same mounting space, then connect its two wires, double-checking both connections are secure. Reattach the back panel and secure it with its screws. Restore power and run a full test cycle to confirm normal, consistent heating with no premature shutoffs. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver with Phillips and flat-head bits, multimeter, hair dryer (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test whether the thermistor has actually failed?
Thermistors don't show continuity like a fuse does — they show resistance, so you'll need a multimeter set to ohms rather than a continuity tester. With power disconnected, connect the multimeter to the thermistor's terminals, then use a hair dryer to blow hot air over it. On a working thermistor, the resistance reading should decrease as it heats up. If the reading stays flat or is far outside the expected range, the thermistor has failed and should be replaced.
My dryer is shutting off before the load is dry. Could this be the thermistor?
Yes, this is a documented symptom. Since the control board relies on this thermistor's reading to regulate the heating cycle, a thermistor reporting inaccurate temperature data can cause the control to end the cycle prematurely, believing the drum has reached a target temperature it hasn't actually reached.
My dryer seems to run hotter than it used to. Is that also a thermistor symptom?
It can be. Since this component is what tells the control board how hot the drum currently is, a failing or drifting thermistor can just as easily cause overheating as it can underheating or premature shutoff — the direction of the symptom depends on which way the sensor's reading has drifted from actual temperature.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the resistance rating, mounting dimensions, and wiring configuration of the original DC32-00007A thermistor used in compatible Samsung, Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers.

XPARTCO 4561EL3002A Dryer Idler Pulley Assembly
The XPARTCO 4561EL3002A is an aftermarket replacement dryer idler pulley assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The idler pulley assembly is a spring-tensioned arm, pulley wheel, and spring kit that presses against the drive belt to keep it under constant tension as it wraps around the drum and motor pulley. Without correct belt tension, the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer tumbles clothes poorly or not at all. A worn idler pulley bearing is also one of the most common causes of squealing, squeaking, and thumping noises in LG dryers.
This complete assembly includes the idler arm, pulley wheel, and idler spring. Overall dimensions are 5-3/4"L x 2-1/4"W x 3-7/8"H with a 2-1/4" diameter pulley wheel. Constructed from plastic and metal in white, black, and gray. It directly replaces 4561EL3002B, DE3002A, 4980EL3004, 1267530, AP4438243, AH3523033, EA3523033, EAP3523033, PD00001729, and PS3523033. Note: the pulley wheel only (without arm and spring) is sold separately as APN4560EL3001A — this listing is for the complete idler assembly. Often replaced together with the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the LG dryer cabinet. Access the idler pulley by removing the back panel of the dryer (on most LG models) or the front panel and top panel. Take a photo of the belt routing around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley before removing anything — this is essential for correct reassembly. Release belt tension by pressing the idler arm toward the motor and sliding the belt free. Remove the idler spring from its anchor point, then unclip or unscrew the idler arm from its mounting bracket. Install the new 4561EL3002A idler assembly in the same position — hook the spring onto its anchor point first, then mount the arm. Re-route the belt around the drum (ribbed side in), under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley, then allow the idler arm to tension the belt. Reassemble panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum rollers (4581EL2002A) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer idler pulley do?
The idler pulley is a spring-loaded arm and wheel assembly that presses against the drive belt between the drum and the motor pulley, keeping the belt under constant tension. This tension is what allows the belt to grip both the drum surface and the motor pulley so the motor's rotation is transmitted to spin the drum. Without proper tension — or with a pulley bearing that has seized or worn out — the belt slips, the drum stops spinning, and the dryer produces heat without tumbling clothes. A worn bearing also creates the high-pitched squealing noise that is the most recognizable symptom of idler pulley failure on LG dryers.
What is the difference between 4561EL3002A and 4561EL3002B?
These are the same LG dryer idler pulley assembly across two production revisions. The 4561EL3002B was an earlier version and the 4561EL3002A is the current part number. Both are the same functional assembly — if your dryer's parts diagram shows 4561EL3002B, the 4561EL3002A is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
Should I also replace the drum belt and rollers at the same time?
Yes — since the dryer must be disassembled to replace the idler pulley, this is the ideal time to also inspect and replace the drum belt (4400EL2001A) and drum support rollers (4581EL2002A). All three parts form the drum drive system and wear at similar rates. A worn roller or belt is often what caused the idler pulley to wear prematurely. Replacing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and prevents a repeat teardown in the near future.
Can I just replace the pulley wheel without the arm and spring?
Yes — the pulley wheel alone (without the arm and spring) is sold separately as part number APN4560EL3001A. If only the wheel bearing has failed and the arm and spring are in good condition, you can order just the wheel. However, if the arm is cracked, the spring has lost tension, or both the wheel and arm have significant wear, ordering the complete 4561EL3002A assembly is more cost-effective and ensures the entire idler system is renewed in a single repair.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 4561EL3002A idler pulley assembly.

XPARTCO 279457 Dryer Heating Element Wire Kit
The XPARTCO 279457 is an aftermarket replacement heating element connection wire kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid electric clothes dryers. This kit includes 2 connecting wires and 2 wire connectors that join the dryer's wiring harness to the heating element terminals. Because these connections carry the full current draw of the heating circuit, they're a common failure point — the terminals and wire insulation gradually degrade from repeated heat cycling, and a loose or corroded connection creates resistance that generates even more heat, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector itself.
This kit is the correct fix when you find burnt, melted, or brittle wiring at the heating element terminals rather than a fully failed heating element — replacing just the connection wiring is far cheaper than replacing the whole element when the element itself still tests good.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279457 Heating Element Wire Kit fixes a dryer with no heat, inadequate heat, or overheating caused by burnt or melted wiring at the heating element connection — not a failed heating element itself. Includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors. Classic symptom: a burning smell, or visibly melted/discolored wire insulation near the heating element terminals.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer not heating or producing inadequate heat
Dryer overheating or heat cycling erratically
Visibly melted, burnt, or discolored wires at the heating element connection
Burning smell during operation
Intermittent heating caused by a loose or corroded connection
Heating element itself tests fine but the dryer still won't heat properly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing — High-Current Connection Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning — this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit and must never be serviced live. Remove the dryer's rear or front panel per your model's service guide to access the heating element. Inspect the existing connection wires and terminals for melting, discoloration, or brittleness — if you see any of these signs, replace both wires and connectors entirely rather than reusing any part of them. Disconnect the two old connection wires from the heating element terminals, install the two new wires in their place, and secure each wire connector firmly so both connections are tight with no exposed bare wire. A loose or poor connection is the most common root cause of this failure in the first place, so double-check the fit on both connections before closing the dryer back up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new heating element, or just this wire kit?
If the heating element itself tests good with a multimeter but you see melted, burnt, or discolored wiring specifically at the connection point, this wire kit alone is usually the correct and much cheaper fix. If the element itself has failed (no continuity), you'll need to replace the heating element too.
Why did my heating element wires melt in the first place?
This usually happens when a connection becomes loose or corroded over time, which increases electrical resistance at that point. That resistance generates extra heat right at the connection, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector. Make sure the new connection is seated tight and secure to prevent it from happening again.
How many wires and connectors are in this kit?
This kit includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors — enough to replace both terminal connections on the heating element in one kit, per the original manufacturer specification.
Is this safe to install myself?
Most DIY-capable owners can complete this repair with basic hand tools in under an hour. That said, always unplug the dryer or shut off its breaker before working on it, since this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit — never work on it while the dryer is powered.
