Dryer Bearing Parts

The Trap Duct Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This assembly provides the ducting and pathway to direct lint from the dryer drum to the lint trap. It plays a crucial role in efficiently removing lint and preventing blockages. 

Causes of a bad trap duct assembly can include cracks or breaks in the ducting material, crushing or collapsing of the duct, or loose connections that allow lint to bypass the trap. 

Symptoms of a bad trap duct assembly include:

• Increased drying times as lint is not properly exhausted 
• Lint building up inside the dryer instead of collecting in the trap
• Vibrating or rattling noises from loose or damaged ducting
• Reduced airflow leading to inefficient drying performance

This GE replacement part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models. Replace yours today for optimal lint removal and dryer operation.

The Dryer Drum Support Bushing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It supports the dryer drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly during operation. This bushing reduces friction and wear on the drum and motor, ensuring efficient and quiet drying performance.

Common causes of a bad bushing include normal wear and tear from regular use, overloading the dryer, or exposure to excessive heat which can degrade the material over time.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum support bushing include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming misaligned
• Increased friction leading to slower drying times
• Visible wear or damage to the bushing

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

This bearing set replaces worn drum bearings to restore smooth, quiet rotation and help prevent further damage to the tub assembly. Fits select Bosch WTA/WTL laundry machines. What it does

• Supports the drum/tub shaft so the drum turns smoothly and quietly.
• Worn bearings can cause loud squealing, grinding, or metal-on-metal noise.
• Excessive vibration or a wobbling drum during spin are common signs of bearing failure.
• Replacing the bearing set helps prevent additional wear to the drum and shaft.

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair.
• Access requires drum/tub disassembly; keep track of fasteners and seals.
• Bearings are typically press-fit; removal and installation may require a bearing puller/press or specialized tools.

This drum slide bearing supports the front edge of the dryer drum with a low-friction surface so it turns smoothly. Replacing worn slides can reduce squeaks or scraping and help prevent damage to the drum and front bearing.

• Provides a low-friction contact point for the front of the drum to rotate smoothly
• Reduces rubbing and wear between the drum rim and front bearing assembly
• Worn slides can cause squealing/scraping noises, rough drum rotation, or marks/snags on clothing near the drum opening
• Common maintenance item; uneven or excessive wear may affect tumbling performance

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access by removing top and front panel per service instructions; support the drum during service
• Replace slides in matching positions/orientation; replacing all slides together helps ensure even support
• Spin the drum by hand before reassembly to ensure smooth, quiet rotation

This bearing supports the washer tub/drum so it spins smoothly and reduces wobble and noise during cycles. A worn bearing can cause loud rumbling, grinding, or excessive vibration. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for the tub/drum shaft to rotate on
• Keeps the tub/drum aligned to prevent wobble and uneven spin
• Helps reduce noise and vibration caused by worn or damaged bearings
• Supports normal spin and drainage by maintaining proper tub rotation

• One bearing as shown

• Designed for use in compatible front-load washers;
• Replace bearings only when explicitly required; bearing replacement may require disassembly of the tub and special tools
• Disconnect power and water supply before starting repairs; follow manufacturer safety instructions

Top bearing assembly that supports the dryer drum and reduces friction for smooth rotation. Replacing a worn top bearing restores quieter operation and corrects drum alignment to help prevent rubbing and uneven wear. What it does

• Supports and centers the dryer drum at the top, enabling smooth rotation.
• Houses the bearing that reduces friction; wear often shows as squealing, grinding, or scraping noises.
• Helps prevent drum wobble and uneven drying caused by misalignment.
• Works with other drum support components to maintain proper drum movement.

• Always disconnect power before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the front panel and drum; follow the OEM service manual for disassembly/reassembly steps.
• Inspect related components and replace any damaged parts to avoid repeat failure.
• Reassemble carefully and test the dryer on a short cycle to confirm quiet, even drum rotation.

Left hand side.

This is a replacement mounting collar used to secure and align associated appliance components for proper fit and operation. It restores the original spacing and support where the factory collar is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point to hold panels, assemblies, or shafts in correct alignment
• Helps prevent excess movement that can cause noise, vibration, or premature wear
• Restores proper spacing to prevent rubbing or binding of adjacent parts
• Useful when a cracked, deformed, or missing collar causes misalignment or rattling

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding parts and mounting hardware; replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit
• Hand-start fasteners to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to OEM torque if specified
