### <mark style="color:$warning;">Background</mark>

Recently the frustration has been choosing between Samsung's outrageously priced rollers or non-OEM rollers of questionable and unknown long term durability.

None OEMs can have quality issues and I've tried several non-OEM variants only to have recall issues randomly. The other issue with non OEMs is consistency, the supplier of a favorite non-oem might change and you're back to square 1, the unknown unknowns.

{% hint style="success" %}
The solution I have found is the ERP NON-OEM brand LG 4581EL2002H.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
USE EXTREME CAUTION. WE ARE ONLY SUGGETING THE ERP BRAND 4581EL2002H. There are many fakes out there.
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$warning;">Why the Best?</mark>

While it's no secret the LG Dryer supports work in place of Samsung dryer supports the issue is OEM LG Dryer supports have sky rocketed in cost too!

<i class="fa-sack-dollar">:sack-dollar:</i>  It's cost effective.

<i class="fa-spinner">:spinner:</i>The quality of these bearing is outstanding. The bearing is silky smooth as a fidget spinner, the rubber isn't the least bit supple and I don't believe these will have the separation issue

<i class="fa-repeat">:repeat:</i> <mark style="color:red;">This is an LG roller 4581EL2002H perfectly replaces Samsung DC97-16782A, this means you have a single SKU for both brands.</mark>

<i class="fa-bolt">:bolt:</i> See the picture, you can use a 6mm impact to drive these on really fast. With the right tools you can replace all bearings on a LG/Samsung dryer in 9 minutes from start to finish. ( I have timed it ).

<i class="fa-puzzle">:puzzle:</i> Consistency: this is a big problem with NON-OEM, you can get a knock off of the knock off and who knows what you're really buying. Here's the only place to buy these if you're looking for 100% consistency on getting a genuine ERP. You can find us on eBay and Amazon I'm sure but again who knows what you're really getting it may or may not be getting ERP.

### <mark style="color:$warning;">Best Place To Buy 4581EL2002H</mark>&#x20;

The ERP 4581EL2002H is the only brand we recommend. Here's the challenge:  It is difficult getting a consistent supply of ERP Brand. When you go on Amazon eBay there's literally hundreds of listings you have no idea of knowing whether the vendors being truthful about the source there's only one consistent source we found of the ERP brand 4581EL2002H:  [Ben's Appliances and Junk](https://bens-appliances.com/products/4581el2002h-lg-dryer-roller-for-drum-w-nut-and-washer) .&#x20;
