Dryer Drum Roller. This part is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically crafted for Samsung dryers. It is located inside the dryer drum, assisting the belt in rotating the drum to efficiently tumble clothes during the drying cycle.
Over time, the drum roller may wear out due to extensive use, overloading the drum, or lint build-up that leads to increased pressure on the roller.
Signs of a malfunctioning drum roller include:
- The dryer drum not rotating or rotating at a reduced speed
- Audible grinding or scraping noises from inside the dryer
- Excessive shaking or vibrating while the dryer operates
- Clothes not drying completely or evenly
This OEM part by Samsung is also compatible with certain Kenmore dryer models.
