• Provides a smooth, durable surface to prevent clothes from catching or rubbing against the cabinet.

• Common symptoms indicating a worn drum: loud scraping or grinding, visible drum wobble, or clothes that don't tumble properly.

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before beginning any service.
• Retain original mounting hardware; additional fasteners or seals may be required if not supplied.

• Forms the rotating chamber that holds clothes; driven by the belt and motor to tumble items for drying
• Works with drum seals and lifters/baffles to maintain airflow and separate fabrics for even drying
• Replacing a dented, cracked, or out-of-round drum can resolve thumping, scraping, or rumbling noises
• Addresses sharp seams, loose spots, or rust that can snag/tear clothing or leave marks

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models before service
• Remove top/front panels and release belt tension to lift out the old drum; note belt routing
• Compare parts and move over any reusable, model-specific components if required
• Inspect belt, idler pulley, bearings, and felt seals while open; replace if worn
