<<<LG Dryer made loud pop & quit running>>>
**************
Too little information :)
LOUD BANG---BUT CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS WORK...
Broken Belt
Object/obstruction in Blower Housing
Drum Rollers worn/Tub making contact with other components
Tar-Like sheathing on the drum coming off---and snagged on the Motor or Heater Housing
LOUD BANG---DRYER COMPLETELY DEAD/NO ACTIVITY ALL
Burned/damaged Power Cord/Terminal Block
Obliterated Main Board (and/or Display Board)---Massive electrical surge---usually during lightning storm or failed neighborhood Power LineTransformer

To eliminate:
Musty odor
L-O-N-G cycle times
Dingy/yellowing whites
Suds error message
Slow spin speeds
Intermittent water leaks (from rear of washer)
And other annoying symptoms which vary brand-to brand.
Read below:
The *correct* amount of HE (High Efficiency) detergent that should be used in any front load or agitatorless top load washer with tub sizes 3.0 cu ft and larger is as follows:
HE: (2) Tablespoons Per Wash Load
HE 2X: (1) Tablespoon
HE 3X: (1) Teaspoon
Perform a TUB CLEAN CYCLE every (4) months.
Use: "Tide Washing Machine Cleaner"

Broken belt, very lint built up dryer.
Going to replace 2 front rollers, belt, & idle pully & charge flate rate book price $218.35.
Book price for just belt is &199.85. not as much profit, extra $20 for the pully & 2 rollers I think is going to be little more, but as I explained to customer New drive train & suspension parts sweeten the repair. Plus they's gettin lint cleaning to boot.
Sounds like good deal to me for customer & above & beyond great old fashion service toos me. 
patricio, thanks for the help.
