I purchased an LG dryer in February 2011 (barely 6wks ago). Had to have a service man out y'day because the dryer was making a terrible rumbling noise when I used it. Apparently the dryer sheets were somehow finding their way down inside the drum of the dryer and getting caught and binding the dryer parts. The service man told me his dryer had the same problem twice with dryer sheets (as well as socks) and then presented me with a $149 repair bill ! It was our fault the dryer broke - no a manufacturer problem he said. APPARENTLY the manufacturer DOES have a problem. How on earth do dryer sheets and socks escape the inside of the dryer??? And for the service man to tell me he's had the same issue? I called Home Depot (where I purchased the dryer) and was told they've had other customers complain of the same problem...Home Depot offered to split the cost of the repair with me. Home Depot should not be responsible for the repair bill - nor should I! I filed a complaint with LG this morning...let's see if they are willing to stand behind their product!

Our LG dryer drum split at the weld seam at around 2 years of use. It is a DLE8377. These drums are defective and a recall / class action needs to be initiate, PLEASE. We still have it and can send a picture, if needed.
