Hotpoint Dryer Bearing Parts
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE03X37317
The Dryer Front Bearing Drum Slide (Green, 2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are located on the front panel of the dryer and work to support the drum as it rotates. The green slides are designed to reduce friction between the drum and the panel, ensuring smooth operation and helping to prolong the life of the appliance.
Over time, these slides can wear out due to constant movement, heat, and friction. When worn or damaged, the drum may not rotate as intended, leading to noise and reduced efficiency.
Symptoms of bad dryer front bearing drum slides include:
- Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
- The drum appearing loose or sagging at the front
- Clothes not drying evenly or taking longer to dry
- Visible wear or thinning on the existing drum slides
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Dryer began to take much longer to dry clothing what once took 30 minutes now took 2 hours Steven M. • Monett , MO • July 10, 2015
We cleaned out all ducts carefully and did other basic troubleshooting but it did not help.
Began to research the problem on-line and discovered that this dryer has two heating elements. One can fail while the other continues to provide heat - but with a large impact on drying time.
Watched youtube videos and how to take apart the dryer to reach the heating coils.
Tested the heating elements for continuity with tester and the outer loop had no continuity indicating it was broken somewhere. ...

The drum front support bearing was breaking Stuart E. • Rochester , NY • December 14, 2024
I followed the directions I found on YouTube for removing the front of the dryer. It was fairly easy, with two screws to remove the top and another two to remove the front. Just use a hand Phillips screwdriver, you will have difficulty using a typical power screwdriver due to space limitations. Watch the tabs on the top that engage with the control panel. Push the top to the left to disengage. I broke one of the three. One connector and two fastons needed to be disconnected on the front. ...

Very loud squeal noise Thomas P. • Dundalk , MD • June 05, 2018
Repair went well, replaced the pulley wheel, belt, rear drum bearing. Had an issue after replacement with the dryer stopping after ~5mins or so when running with heat. Fluff cycle would run fine.
Details:
The lock nut on the pulley wheel didn't feel tight enough so i tried to crimp it back on the pulley arm. It then became way too lose. I had to replace it with a plastic washer I had in my toolkit. That fit snug and seems to work fine. I also added some grease to the pulley shaft under...

Dryer drum problem Tonya B. • Ithaca , NY • December 24, 2022
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...

Part Number: WE03X37319
The Dryer Bearing Slide (2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are installed on the front panel of the dryer and support the drum as it rotates. They help reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth and quiet operation during drying cycles. This pack includes two bearing slides, which are commonly used together in the dryer assembly.
Over time, bearing slides can wear down due to regular use, heat, and friction. When they become worn or damaged, the drum may no longer rotate smoothly, which can affect the dryer's performance and increase noise levels.
Symptoms of bad dryer bearing slides include:
- A loud squeaking or scraping noise during operation
- Difficulty rotating the drum manually
- Clothes taking longer to dry due to improper drum movement
- Visible wear or thinning on the existing slides
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Noisy dryer drum vibrating and squeaking then screeching! Dan N. • Wytheville , VA • December 14, 2015
First symptoms were squeaking drum. This is probably when new glide strips might have been all that we needed. But I put off fixing it... and I put it off some more. Noises got louder, squeaking became screeching, then it started to vibrate loudly.
The front drum bearing (really just a plastic arch that the drum rides on) had broken, and with the drum in a canted position, the rear bearing sleeve got messed up too.
I ordered the front drum support bearing, and also a rear drum bearing...

Was making a squeaking/squealing on start up Gerald G. • Nashua , NH • March 20, 2016
My GE dryer from the late 80's/early 90's was squealing when it would start up, belt or bearing I was thinking. I found a manual online that covered my model and I watched a video on this site that showed me how to take it all apart, mine was a bit different but the principles were the same. I took it apart and added some quick-disconnects to 2 wires so next time I can take the front panel off easily. When I got to the bearing it looked worn but not bad so I cleaned it and put it back. ...

Black marks on clothes when drying Jennifer S. • Makawao , HI • July 20, 2025
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....
