Description

This rear drum motor mounting bushing supports the motor shaft at the back of the tub, keeping the drum aligned and reducing wear. It restores smooth drum rotation and helps reduce noise and vibration when functioning properly. What it does:

• Centers and supports the motor shaft to maintain proper drum alignment.
• Cushions rotating components to reduce squealing, grinding, or scraping noises.
• Helps prevent excess drum wobble and uneven wear on the tub and bearings.
• Can stop intermittent rubbing or burning smells caused by a worn mounting surface.

What's included: One rear drum motor mounting bushing. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting and follow all safety precautions; service panels may have sharp edges.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer/heater assembly and drum.
• Inspect mating surfaces and surrounding components (shaft, bearing, seal). Replace any excessively worn parts to prevent repeat failures.
• Use only OEM-recommended parts and fasteners; do not force or press the part in without proper alignment.
