Product review (1 stars): These drums are defective, the weld does not last
It's so sad that LG refuses to take responsibility for their defects in these drums.  I bought an LG dryer not too long ago, the drums are supposed to last the lifetime of the dryer but the weld loosens up quite quickly after some usage.  LG refuses to acknowledge this and take responsibility.  If you call them, they'll try their best to just set you up with an authorized dealer and service tech at YOUR expense.  For the price of the total repair, you can almost buy a new dryer that won't break down again in a short period.
