This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

Size: 8 x 1-1/4 inch.

This drain tube gasket seals the connection between the drain tube and its mating port to prevent leaks. A tight seal helps keep water where it belongs and protects surrounding components from moisture damage.

• Creates a watertight seal at the drain tube connection point
• Can help address water leaks around the drain area
• Deterioration, cracking, or hardening of the old gasket may cause seepage
• Replacing a worn gasket can restore proper leak prevention

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water supply before service
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water when disconnecting the tube
• Inspect the tube and mating surfaces; clean before installing the new gasket
• Do not overtighten fittings; verify a snug, even seal and check for leaks on first run
