Ge WE25X10001 Rear Drum Bearing Kit OEM Part

Replaced rear bearing, upper and lower felts, drive belt. Have repaired dryer before for same problem years ago, knew what to do, on line diagrams helped to move memory. Cleaned all accumulated lint out of machine.Belt was changed only out of age.Looked good but thought to be on safe side.

I guess I'm old school. I tool disassembled the front door and lower real panel to inspect the machine. After locating the problem, the worn front top drum glide, which subsequently lowered the positioning of the drum and throwing the rear bearing off kilter I decided to replace both pieces. The belt appeared to be in good shape. The drum glide seems a bit expensive, I've seen it listed on Amazon for less, but chose to stick with ApplianceParts for this fix. The parts arrived in a couple of day, quicker than I had expected. Gleaning off the old glide and reattaching the new piece was fairly simple. The drum bearing, because of its uneven rotation appeared worn which is why I decided to replace it as well. This is where better directions would have come in helpful, perhaps a page or two from a service manual - but that may simply depend upon the particular dryer. As a layman who is not in the repair business I had to settle for reassembling the unit then turning it on to make sure it was working correctly. Fortunately it works fine now. I'm satisfied with AP and all of their service. A repair like this always builds my confidence for approaching the next job. As I said, I'm old school, which is why I believe cursive writing should be taught once again.

I ordered the kit from Appliance pros. After taking the dryer apart and cleaning the inside of it from lent that had been collecting behind the drum for a couple of years. it was quite easy.The ball bearing was grinding a hole into the other mechanism. I do not know why they do not tell you grease you dryer or have it serviced at least once a year . this will prevent this from happening. it take more than cleaning out your vent to make your machines work properly.My machine works great now ,drys faster and is very quite.

Replaced rear bearing assy. and drum slides. Dryer older, repair guy wanted 100.00 just to visit but not looking forward to purchasing a 1500.00 washer/dryer set like the boss (wife) wants.
