GE WE49X21874 Dryer Bearing Kit, Replaces WE49X20697 — Fixes Squealing, Grinding & Drum Won't Spin
🇺🇸 Matching U.S. Part Number: WE49X21874
The GE WE49X21874 Dryer Bearing Kit is designed to restore drum support and drive function in GE top-load dryers. It replaces WE49X20697 and all superseded cross-references when fitment is confirmed by the appliance model number. Kit includes the WE12M29 drive belt, WE3M26 top bearing, two WE1M481 / WE1M1067 green bearing slides, two WE1M333 / WE1M504 white bearing slides, and the WE9M30 front drum felt seal. OEM and premium XPart options available.
Is This the Right Part?
Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar parts may use different connectors, dimensions, hose positions, electrical ratings, or mounting points.
Common Symptoms
- Loud squealing or screeching throughout the dryer cycle (worn top bearing or slides)
- Metallic scraping or grinding when the drum turns (bearing slides worn through to metal)
- Thumping or rhythmic banging during tumbling (worn slides causing drum wobble)
- Drum wobbles or feels loose when pushed by hand
- Belt visibly cracked, frayed, glazed, or broken — drum won't turn
- Motor runs but drum doesn't spin (belt broken or slipped off)
- Burning rubber smell (belt slipping and overheating)
- Clothes come out still damp after a full cycle (felt seal deteriorated — hot air escaping)
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the drum is the noise source — not the motor, idler pulley, or rear rollers
- Inspect the belt routing around the idler pulley and motor shaft before removal
- Check the idler pulley for wobble or binding — a worn pulley will destroy a new belt quickly
- Spin the rear drum support rollers by hand — flat spots or stiffness indicate replacement needed

Installation Notes
- Disconnect power and shut off water or gas where applicable.
- Photograph wiring, hoses, clamps, and mounting positions.
- Compare the new part with the original before installation.
- Inspect nearby wires, hoses, seals, and connectors for damage.
- Test the appliance and check for leaks, unusual sounds, or error codes.
Use a qualified technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience. Gas parts should be installed by a licensed technician.
