Part Number: OEM7865742
Manufacturer Part Number: WE1M462

The Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This sleeve reduces friction between the drum and the bearing, contributing to efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. This is the dryer rear drum bearing sleeve only. For the rear drum bearing kit order WE25M40.

You should replace the rear drum bearing sleeve if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad bearing sleeve can include regular wear and tear, lack of lubrication, or excessive loads that cause undue stress on the component. A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:

  • Squeaking, grinding, or rumbling noises during the drying cycle
  • The dryer drum not rotating smoothly or being off-balance
  • Increased drying times due to inefficient drum movement
  • Visible wear or damage to the sleeve

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve (Part Number: OEM7865742)

1 Answer

Dan, In most cases the bearing will wear quicker when a unit is being overloaded. The bearing is lubricated by the plastic and the heavier the load the more likely for the bearings to wear out.

Joe, You will want to remove the front panel and check the front glides WE03X37317,WE03X37318 for damage and excess wear, and the felt seals, for small articles that may be stuck in them. Then remove the drum and check the bearing WE1M462 and shaft WE3M33 for excess wear and discoloration.

Doug, Make sure the dryer is level, side to side and front to back,maybe even a bit higher in the front(1/8 to 1/4 inch). You'll need to remove the drum and check the rear drum bearing assembly WE25M40 for excessive wear. Check to insure the glides are in the proper position, green glides at the 11 and 1 o'clock position and the white glides are at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. And don't overload the dryer(never more than 1/2 full with wet clothes). Good Luck and Thanks
