This is not your typical roller and I need to know what this part is called or where to find a replacement. The door does not have a manufacturer tag on it.

You have the old discontinued 81-280 roller that has been replaced with 81-279. Service people say the replacement roller works great.

Thanks for contacting us. I've placed you in an older discussion from 2017 where someone was looking for the same part. As you can see, we cannot supply this exact roller but our 81-279 can be used as a replacement. I know it looks different but we've had many reports that confirm it works well. Let me know what you think!
