Description

• Holds and centers the drum shaft to prevent excessive axial movement
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause squealing or grinding
• Helps maintain smooth, consistent drum rotation and alignment
• Commonly replaced when you hear rubbing, scraping, or loud bearing noises

What's included

• One retainer bearing

Install notes

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers also shut off gas supply
• Access requires removing panels or the cabinet to reach the drum shaft area
• Inspect adjoining parts (shaft, rollers, glides) and replace if worn to prevent repeat failure
