The Dryer Drum Glide is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is designed to facilitate smooth rotation and movement of the dryer drum during operation. The glide supports the drum, reducing friction and ensuring proper alignment.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum glide:

• Loud rumbling or grinding noises during the drying cycle
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
• Difficulty in rotating the drum manually
• Uneven drying or clothing becoming tangled

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Felt pad installs under the drum glide to prevent metal-on-metal contact and reduce friction. Replace if worn, causing grinding noise or squealing.

A replacement bracket glide that secures and guides an appliance drawer or shelf glide so drawers open and close smoothly. Installing a new bracket restores proper alignment and helps prevent sticking, sagging and noisy operation. What it does:

• Reduces scraping, grinding or rattling noises caused by a damaged bracket.
• Common symptom: drawers that stick, sag, pull to one side, or feel loose.

• Disconnect power (or unplug) and empty the drawer before you start.
• Remove the drawer or access panel to reach the bracket; basic hand tools are usually required.
• Retain original fasteners unless the replacement explicitly includes new hardware.
