LG 5859EA1004E Genuine OEM Drain Pump for LG Washing Machines

My LG front loader with the control panel on top of the dryer, near the back - started making a huge racket. It then would get stuck and to start it you would have to open the door and roll the drum around and try again. I read online that these were the ones you needed. NOTE: These are only the wheels, not the posts or washers or little triangle plastic things that hold the rollers in place - and only ONE wheel per order, not two. I bought four, and took my dryer apart. I unplugged the unit, popped the top open from the front - there are two latches you have to open with a putty knife near each side. Then I just took off the screws on top, took the screws off the door panel (Kept the door on), then popped and lifted the front door panel off. Then unscrewed 2 screws to take the metal thingy off where the air goes after it goes through your lint filter in the door, then 4 screws to take the front of the drum holder off. Then you reach under the drum, hold back the pulley tension wheel and the belt comes loose. You use the belt to lift the drum out. There are two rollers in back and two on the inside of the front panel that you took off. I kept the posts as they were fine. One of the plastic holding clips was missing, and one wheel had broken the inside hole wide open. You carefully pull the plastic triangle holding clip off (they break sometimes) - if you break them, I used what I believe was called a 9/16 "E" clip you can get at any hardware store. They also sell this wheel in a version on Amazon that comes with the posts and clips completely. I only replaced the front two rollers, as the ones in back were fine. I cleaned the dryer out with a vaccum and then reassembled it all. Took about 2 hours including a trip to the hardware store. One guy online said to use a 1/2 inch "E" clip, but it didn't look like it was big enough. I could get the 1/2 on, but the 9/16ths seemed to fit better. I ordered 4 of these, but only used two. No worries, I have two backups now and I fixed my dryer for under $50 instead of buying a new $800 dryer. Thanks! Worked great. These were pictured blue when I bought them - the ones inside the dryer are blue - these were delivered gray, but they fit perfectly. Dryer runs quiet again! No more THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Despite the product description, these do no seem to be genuine LG OEM wheels. There are no marking at all on the wheels indicating part number, manufacturer or country of origin, just like another set of 3rd party wheels I bought that lasted less than 2 years (vs ~13 years for the original LG wheels). This distributor, Supco, does seem to be a respected US appliance parts supplier so I'm hopeful these will last longer than 2 years.I was not expecting anything more than just the wheels but it would have been convenient to have included the triangular plastic washers. Unlike the original OEM washers, the 3rd party set I tried to reuse were thin and brittle. Every one of them broke while trying to remove them. Including them with these wheels would not cost more than a few pennies but would have saved a lot of aggravation.

Dryer was making a super loud knocking sound. Found out on you tube that the wheels needed to be replaced.Dryer appliance repair technician quoted some astronomical price to replace the wheels in our dryer.Watched the videos on you tube and proceed on our own with these wheels. FYI these wheels do not come with the piece/shaft that goes thru the center. So not sure why it is referred to as an "assembly."However, for the rear wheels which is 2 of the four it is actually easier if one does not try to install new shafts and simply replaces the wheel on the existing shaft.However, a word to the wise. This is not rocket science but it is "screw" science. There were a boat load of screws. So we used zip loc bags to collect each set of screws and labeled each bag to remind us what screws went where.In hindsight if we ever have to do it again we would also add a # to each bag. So the first set of screws would go in a zip loc bag labeled #1 with a written description plus take a corresponding picture with a smartphone in case by the time we got to bag #17 the description say for bag #3 was meaningless because of the obvious learning curve. Took 2 people, the newbie diy home tech and the screw tech assistant the better part of 2 days to complete the repair.But when we were done, the dryer worked beautifully like new, very quite.We only had 1 screw leftover when we were done. But hey! Saved a hefty cache of cash :-) And garnered some serious diy euphoria!Ready to build a city now!

I guess we didn't realize how loud the dryer had gotten as it progressively got louder and louder.We can close the door to the laundry room but now....we don't have to!If you are slightly mechanically inclined you can definitely handle this yourself. I consider myself pretty mechanically inclined and handy so I watched the video (a few times) and got to work.It took me 2 hours only because I spent a good chunk of time cleaning and vacuuming the inside and taking apart the heating element to clean it.The rear rollers are the only pain getting a 14mm socket on the backside. Probably would be easier with just a 14 wrench on it.I refused the triangle plastic retainer clips but should have bought the 1/2" eclips other reviews mentioned to be safe.These don't include the wheel shaft...but why would they as you can reuse the old ones. I did clean the shafts and sprayed them will silicone lubricant for better spin (a grease will retain dust, dirt, lint and hair).I could tell a few of the old wheels were wearing away. Sides were worn away and black rubber dust around the metal surroundings.Buy all 4 and replace all 4 for preventive maintenance. For a 8+ year old dryer to sound new again...well worth the 45 plus free 1 day shipping!

I bought these parts, 2 of them, because I wanted genuine Lg parts,it is a overpriced cheap copy sold as genuine LG. The blue roller is the old LG one, note LG part number is cast into the plastic and a heavier design and better bushing finishing. Please note the description described a plumbing or gas fitting part not the actual item being sold. I believe this is intentional and deceptive. I purchased this in good faith due to the reviews and sold by LG vendor

usually the front left roller is the one that must be replaced...Only the roller, not the spindle or other parts are provided in this package.Plastic holding clips (Retaining clips that are easily broken) can be replaced by using 9/11 inch E-clips found at your local hardware or Lowes or Home depot. Actually, they were out of this size in Sudbury Ontario, but I found them at a Rastall store (in Ontario). It might be a good idea to change the plastic to the metal E-clips.

Works perfectly! Good heavy duty roller. One of ours was worn down in the Center and our dryer started making loud sounds. Replaced it with this (at a fraction of the cost it would be to buy it from a parts store) and put it in myself. Drum rollers are easy as our to replace, and this was no exception. Easy to put in, perfect size, great quality.

Pain in the butt to take the dryer apart but once we did this replacement roller worked perfectly. No more rattling in our LG dryer.

My roller didn’t have the e at the end of the model number. But it went on factory shaft and works like a charm
