Part Reference
Samsung part DC97-16782A is a dryer drum support roller and axle assembly used on compatible Samsung-built dryers. This guide covers the symptoms that can point to worn rollers, cross-reference numbers, fit checks and current OEM prices from several parts sellers.
What Does DC97-16782A Do?
The roller supports the dryer drum while it turns.

A worn bearing, flat spot or seized roller can create noise or drag as the drum rotates.

Symptoms That Can Point to a Worn Samsung Dryer Roller
- Squeaking, rumbling or thumping while the drum turns.
- Uneven drum rotation or noticeable drag.
- A roller that does not turn freely when inspected.
- A drum that stops turning, although the belt, idler or motor can also cause that symptom.
Noise alone does not prove a roller is bad. Samsung dryers also use a drive belt and idler pulley, so the belt path and related rotating components should be checked before parts are ordered.
