LG 4400EL2001F Genuine OEM Drum Belt for LG Dryers

The belt is made by Gates although it is made in China. Bought the needed parts all separately - belt, rollers, idler pulley - because of the reviews of those kits that came with the belt which broke off prematurely. Since the job itself is still time consuming and not something you want to do it again soon, I spent $15 more and waited about 3 days to go with this "OEM" belt. Not sure if Gates was an OEM supplier but since the brand is a tier-1 automotive belt manufacturer, it was more of an insurance.Many local repairmen quoted $480 to $550 to fix this squeal from my electric LG dryer and after convincing my wife that I would give it a shot and fix the squeal before we spend $780 on another dryer, the job itself is not so bad as long as you have right tools. A few things I noticed --1. Lube these rollers and idler pulley's shafts with lubricant oil, preferably the synthetic.2. Roll the dryer drum to test the belt has seated to its original position.3. Keep the old parts, just in case - none of original rollers wore out excessively but they were all gritty, the belt was in good shape even after it ran for 10 years.4. For rollers in the back, using a 14mm 12-point combination wrench and an impact driver with 10mm socket saved me aggravations and time to take off the back panel.I was going to wait until autumn to do this (it's uncomfortably hot this summer) but since my wife was ready to drive down to a Home Depot for new dryer, a 2-hour investment to do this earned me a nice cold one yesterday.

Installed on the dryer and works great. Thanks!

Have an 18 year old dryer that u had to replace the drum bearings on. Bought this OEM belt to replace the original - which was still doing fine. I just figured my time to take the thing apart to replace a belt was worth more than the cost of this belt - so I replaced it while I was in there. If this lasts as long as the original I definitely won’t need to buy another.

This belt is the perfect exact replacement I needed. Easy to install after watching a youtube video on how to get to it. Easy and is the same process for most dryers. Just make sure you get the right belt.

Broke too quickly

I previously needed to replace a couple rollers on my LG dryer, so bought a kit that also included a idle arm pully and a belt. Although these didn't need to be replaced, I figured that since I was in there, I'd replace and try to avoid another repair in the future. That belt felt thin and disintegrated within 3 months. I was happy that this belt could be delivered within a day and replacement was pretty simple since I had done it already. This belt felt to be more substantial - like a thinner car belt. It's only been a few weeks, but so far it's been doing a good job.

Worked good

This is the OEM belt for my dryer and I replaced it after seven years of hard use in a family of four. The old belt had not broken yet. I had the dryer apart to replace its rollers, and replaced the belt while I was there. I'm glad I did because the original belt appeared to be cracked in a few places. This belt was identical to the original and the dryer is running well with this belt.
