The drum top bearing assembly supports the front of the dryer drum and includes the bearing and drum glides that reduce friction between the drum and the dryer cabinet. Constant rotation, heat exposure, and friction cause the bearing to wear over time. When it fails, the drum can tilt, rub against the cabinet, and cause accelerated wear on surrounding components. Part WW02L00516 replaces WE1M1067 and WW01L01430.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drum bearing is bad?
If your dryer makes a loud squealing, grinding, or rumbling noise that gets worse over time, the drum bearing is a common cause. You can also manually spin the drum by hand with the dryer unplugged — if it feels rough, catches, or wobbles, the bearing has worn out. Contact us for help diagnosing your dryer.
Should I replace the drum glides at the same time?
Yes — part WW02L00516 includes the bearing and drum glides as a complete assembly. Since the dryer is already disassembled, it's best practice to replace both together for maximum longevity.
Do you ship to all of Canada?
Yes — XPart Supply ships fast Canada-wide from our Canadian warehouse. Orders placed before our daily cutoff typically ship same or next business day.
