Pack of 2, Dryer Drum Roller DC97-16782A

truely OEM parts

Decent price and parts look the same as OEM. Pay attention to the noise/symptoms your dryer has and where it is coming from before ordering parts. Horrendously loud banging & thumping noises are coming from the support rollers (two rollers in back/two in front), and normally it is the two in the way-back that go bad, requiring a near full disassembly of the main dryer components to reach/replace. It is not particularly difficult if you watch a how-to video beforehand, but it helps to be handy and use a drill/driver with a clutch as there are a lot of sheet metal screws to remove/replace. I found a huge amount of lint build-up throughout the dryer vents and blower wheel and cleaned it out as I went, but in regards to replacing these rollers, you REALLY MUST CLEAN OUT the lint/solid deposits accumulated on top and under the felt gaskets at both ends of the drum, as you will find significant chunks of deposits both over and under it. The deposits create an uneven rotational surface for the drum mating surfaces at the back of the dryer and likely contribute to premature/rapid failure of new parts as reported by a few purchasers. I also found that lint and other small, loose items (guitar picks) had filled the dryer paddles inside the drum and were making noise when I rotated the drum manually after replacing the rear rollers. Removal and cleaning of paddles is easy, just be sure to orient them in the same direction when replacing the paddles.Take the time to vacuum up the loose lint inside the dryer 'shell' and look for any leaks in your exit/vent hose, and test run it before putting the top cover back on as you will likely forget to reconnect the hidden wire hookups under control panel. Cheers to you DIYers! You can do this!

Unfortunately, Samsung dryers have a tendency to burn out the bushing on the drum rollers. I have replaced three so far with one to go! These rollers are nice in that they seem indistinguishable (at least to me) from the OEM and slide right off the included pins and can be installed on the back roller pins without needing to take the back off the dryer. They seem to last a good 2-3 years. For $10 each and 20 minutes of labor for the front rollers (but longer for the rear ones), it is well worth it. Nice to get rid of that clunking noise.I noticed another reviewer mentioned that the drum was shredded. Same thing happened to mine ... with the original drum rollers. I used a bit of cold weld to seal it up, sanded it down and it's been running fine for over a year now.

Well I did not use this product because we found out it was the pulley that needed to be replaced. I did examined this product and it looks very sturdy but there's no way to truly tell until it is installed. At first glance it looks fine.

My Samsung malti-steamer dryer started making this grinding noise. I did some research and almost everyone was saying the rollers and pulley are the problem. Sure enough after taking apart the dryer and installing the pulley and rollers the dryer is running better the I got it new! So don’t be afraid of the design of the dryer. It is simpler then you think. 98% of the screws are the same and the 2 that are different I put them in the hole I took them out of. Also please Arden the parts first so you have the when you get to them. YouTube helped a lot with the videos no need to remove rear screws of dryer.

This was a replacement for the replacement.Understand that replacing OEM parts with aftermarket is a risk but the aftermarket Samsung dryer wheels on amazon are so inexpensive it’s worth a couple duds. These have been in use at 2-3 back to back dryer runs a week for 8 months. No issues. If the squeal comes back I’ll reorder these and replace again. The material used in this wheel is most equivalent to original OEM parts.

I bought the "official" version of this product about 6 months ago (pack of 4) from an appliance website that was a lot more expensive. One of the rear drum rollers failed to the point where the bearing fell out and the plastic surrounding it had completely melted. I swapped it out with this product. So far so good. I should have given the cheaper option a try first.

After buy this same drum rollers from 2 different vendor here in Amazon, they work for a day and start squeaky noise that same day.This one been in used for 4 months now no issue and my dryer run flawlessly.
