The Top Bearing is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the top of the drum assembly, it further supports rotational movement during tumbling.
Symptoms of a faulty top bearing include:
- Emergence of grinding or scraping noises from the upper drum area
- Resistance or lack of responsiveness to smooth drum spinning
- Potential impacts to interconnected spinning components
As a bearing used repeatedly over time, standard wear from lint and dust accumulation affects function. Impacts can also compromise integrity on occasion.
Causes typically include normal wear and tear from prolonged rotational cycles. Heavy loads may accelerate deterioration too by adding strain.
This genuine GE replacement bearing restores reliable support at the top of spinning cycles. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore dryers too, it extends equipment life through dependable bearing operation once installed.
