How we confirm it first
With the drum supported, the technician spins each roller and checks for flat spots, wobble and worn axles.
What the repair involves
Rollers are replaced in pairs or sets, usually with the belt and idler at the same time.
Why it fails
Rollers carry the full weight of a wet load on small axles. Heavy loads and lint packed into the bearings wear them flat.
How to make it last
Split very heavy loads such as comforters and towels, and keep the lint screen clean so less lint reaches the rollers.
Repair or replace?
