XPARTCO EXP445 Dryer Repair Kit Replaces 4581EL2002C, 4400EL2001F, 4561EL3002A
The XPARTCO EXP445 is a complete aftermarket dryer maintenance kit for LG-built dryers sold under the LG and Kenmore brands, bundling the three components that most commonly wear out together as a dryer ages: the drum support rollers, the drive belt, and the idler pulley. Rather than ordering these parts one at a time as each fails, this kit lets you service the whole drum support and drive system in a single repair — the recommended approach once any one of these parts shows wear, since they all take similar stress and tend to fail in the same general time frame.
This kit includes 4 drum support rollers with metal shafts and high-strength bearings, 1 reinforced rubber drive belt, and 1 idler pulley assembly. It directly replaces roller numbers 4581EL2002L, 4581EL2002H, 4581EL2002C, 4581EL2002A, 4581EL2002D, 4581EL2002E, 4581EL3001A, 4581EL3001C, 4581EL3001F, AGM75510755, AP7220429, PS17269866; belt numbers 4400EL2001F, 4400EL2001A, 4400EL2001C, 4400EL2001E, 4115028, AP5972814, PS11705916; and idler pulley numbers 4561EL3002A, 4561EL3002B, AH3523033, EA3523033, AP4438243, PS3523033. Installs in 60–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a full kit instead of just the failed part?
The rollers, belt, and idler pulley all experience similar wear over the dryer's life and tend to fail within a similar timeframe of each other. Since the drum has to come out to access any one of these parts, most technicians and experienced DIYers replace all three at once — it costs less in total labor and time than doing three separate repairs as each part fails one after another.
My dryer runs but the drum doesn't turn — is this the kit I need?
Yes, in most cases. A drum that doesn't turn while the motor runs is almost always caused by a broken drive belt or a seized idler pulley. Since this kit includes both, along with the rollers that are commonly worn by the time the belt fails, it addresses the full drive system in one repair.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, GE, or Samsung dryer?
No — this kit is specific to the LG-built roller/belt/pulley platform used in LG and select Kenmore dryers. Other brands use different roller, belt, and pulley designs that this kit will not fit. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering.
Do I need to photograph the belt routing before removing the old one?
Yes, strongly recommended. LG dryer belts route around the drum and motor pulley in a specific path, often threading under the idler pulley in a particular orientation. Photographing the routing before removal makes reinstallation straightforward and avoids a belt that runs off-track or slips after reassembly.
