Product review (1 stars): Be ready to get the runaround from LG when your drum weld cracks
The welding on the drums are defective.  LG knows it but refuses to take any responsibility.  I had my dryer for a few years and it started to thump.  After googling the problem, I found way too many people with the same problem for many LG dryers including this one.  I inspected my drum and low and behold the drum was cracked at the weld.  Replacing the drum by "their authorized dealer and service tech" would cost almost the same as a new dryer.  LG dryers look cool and promises you the world until your drum cracks, then it YOUR problem.  The matching washer is great but LG dryers are literally garbage.  Stick to a different brand when searching for a dryer.
