Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Noise during dryer operation.
• Front of the drum drops or sags, creating an enlarged lower drum gap.
• Clothing may catch in an enlarged gap at the bottom of the drum.
• Visible wear on the bearing slide.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before servicing.
• With the dryer unplugged, inspect the accessible drum slides for wear or damage.
• Check whether the front of the drum has excessive downward movement or an unusually wide lower gap.
• If safely accessible, rotate the drum by hand and note abnormal noise or rough movement; these observations do not by themselves confirm the slide is at fault.
