Ge WE03X37319 Dryer Bearing Slide 2-Pack OEM Part

A thumping sound (like sneakers in the dryer) started happening. We stopped using it so that it wouldn't get worse and potentially break more parts. Online research suggested rear drive shaft would be the problem. But also suggested while we have the dryer apart, would be smart to replace the belt and the slides/glides (green and white plastic tabs in front, attached to the door). We ordered all the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived FAST. It helps to have two people for this repair. The videos are really great. The hardest part to do is to uninstall and re-install the belt because it's all underneath the drum in a tight space that is hard to see. Study the video carefully to understand how the belt should be threaded and how to move the pully arm. If you don't, you may have a problem with the motor switch. This is a part that is against the pulley arm/tensioner. If it doesn't engage properly or if you damage it, the dryer won't run. This happened to us. When we reconnected everything the dryer would start briefly, but it wouldn't continue unless holding the start button down. We had to look up another video about that problem (found on another site) and learned about the switch. Had to take the drum back out, fiddle with the pully arm and get it reinstalled exactly right. Then, the repair was a success. Luckily we did not break the switch, it was just not aligned. So the repair took much longer than expected. But the steps are generally easy to follow and the tools are simple.

I order the parts from Appliance Parts Pros. When the parts came in, I took the dryer apart and put the new belt on. While I was at it, I cleaned out the dryer and put on new bearings. The whole job took about 30mins.

Parts came super quick (2 days to Hawaii). I replaced the drum support shaft bearing, the front drum support and the slides on my GE electric dryer. I used the step by step video provided. The electrical panel on the top was different than the video but as suggested I took detailed pictures of it before I disconnected 20 or so individual wires to the control board. I couldn't take the entire top plate off the dryer because some of the wires were shared and spliced together from either side. I pushed through as many wires I could then took a tall chair beside the dryer to rest it on sideways off the back side of the dryer. Replacement was fairly easy. I would say the only hard part was getting the belt back on the drive and pulley. It is such a small opening and really need two people. One person needs to hold the drum up while the other tries to slip the belt back on. We ended up turning the dryer on its back in order keep the drum in the bearing slot while securing the belt back on the pulley. Put everything back together and works great!

I got on your website looking at parts and with videos and having the dryer torn apart found the causes and replaced it with the parts needed. Probably bought more parts than needed but while apart, why not, cheaper than a repairman

Ordered the part from Appliance Parts Pros, received it a day earlier and put the part on myself. Appliance Parts Pros has the lowest price for parts and shipping. I'm now able to dry my clothes at home. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros.
