“does the aluminum from the dryer drum leach onto the clothes? Does LG make a dryer with a porcelain or stainless steel drum?”

• The first answer given wasn't really an answer at all. The question is good because alminnum is a known toxin. The finish on an aluminized alloy drum dryer is described as durable. One motivation for manufactures is that this is a less costly way to manufacture a dryer drum. I can answer this by stating I have not heard of tiny pieces (dust) of aluminum going into clothes or into the atmosphere.

• It does flake off with wear. Look at black clothes and see tiny specks of glitter. Thats the aluminum alloy coming off the dryer drum. Mine did this after just 3 years.

• The ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 7.4 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle Electric Dryer with FlowSense™ - White, Model # DLE3400W has an Aluminized Alloy Steel Drum. It does not "leach" onto the clothes. We do not manufacture any dryers with a porcelain drum but we do manufacture dryers with a NeveRust™ Stainless Steel Drum, or an Aluminized Alloy Steel Drum...^IFV
