Joe May 15, 2012 for Model Number DRSR495GG8WW Hi, I have a GE gas dryer that was in a flash flood. I changed the coils, flame sensor, cleaned all of the wire ends. Do I need to lude the drum bearing sleeve? I checked the motor and it runs.
1 Answer Hello Joe, The rear bearing does require lubrication TJ17-132. While you're in there, I would probably dry lube the glides in the front of the drum. Do this with either baby powder or corn starch. Do not use a wet lubricant on the front of the drum as it can come in contact with fabrics and material which will become stained. Read More...
Steven G. May 07, 2012 for Model Number ddg4580gdlwh My G.E. gas dryer is making a high pitch screech when running. I ran it when it is empty as well and it still makes the noise. I lifted up the top and ran it and it sounds like the noise is coming from the back of the dryer. What could this be and what parts would I need for it?
1 Answer Hello Steven. If the noise is coming from the back of the unit, you will need to replace the rear bearing kit WE25M40 in the unit. Read More...
Phil May 06, 2012 for Model Number GE Model: DBSR453EB1WW Hope you are well. Is this the right part for replacing the Rear Drum Shaft and Bearing Kit (AP2619102) for my GE Model: DBSR453EB1WW? Thank you so much!
1 Answer Hello Phil! The rear drum shaft and bearing kit used on model DBSR453EB1WW should be part number WE25M40. Thanks! Read More...
Jody March 08, 2012 for Model Number DPSF495GWOWW About 1 1/2 years ago, we replaced the bearing due to very loud squeaking when dryer running. The sqeaking never went away completely, but was tolerable. Now, the sqeaking is so loud that we can't run the dryer. We bought the bearing kit from Appliance Parts Pros and wonder if it might be something else and not the bearing. We also replaced the belt at the same time.
1 Answer Hello Jody. While I had the unit apart I would also replace the glides, (2 green WE03X37317and 2 white WE03X37318) and idler pulley WE12X83. Have a great day! Read More...
Mark February 09, 2012 for Model Number nbxr463eb3ww I have hotpoint dryer NBXR463EB3WW, it will squeal when first loaded and as clothes dry the squealing starts to let up some, if no load in dryer it will not squeal at all. I am guessing from previous posts the rear bearing. how do I get it apart to look at the bearing and guides. Does the top come off first then the front ? What all parts do I need to replace along with bearing kit. the drum has a lot of movement in the front but very little in rear where heat shield is. should the front have a lot of play in it? I would guess an inch or so of movement . I know a lot of questions, just trying to learn how to fix it and what to check once I get it apart.can you tell me how many guides this model has as well. Once I get this apart will I be able to tell if front bearing and guides are worn by looking at them?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Open the dryer door, remove the screws that secure the top of the dryer to the front panel, and raise the top. loosen the (2)screws, holding the bottom of the front panel to the frame, in the kickplate area. Disconnect the wire harness to the door switch, and remove the screws(1 on each side) holding the front panel to the cabinet frame. Once you have the front off, you will need to reach in through the cut out in the front frame and release the drum belt from the idler pulley. You then grasp the drum, and lift up on the back portion of the drum, to disengage the drum bearing shaft from the composite drum bearing WE25M40, and slide the drum out of the cabinet. You should vaccuum and dust out the complete interior and all the components, then re-assemble the dryer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Peter January 25, 2012 for Model Number we25m40 I am installing drum rear bearing kit-original bearing assembly was held in by c-clip, new assembly has an o-ring. Original assembly was to mount to diffuser panel and install c-clip to hold in place. New kit bearing could be mounted to drum and then drum slid into diffuser panel without c-clip,so question is-to install original c-clip from old assembly on or in place of o-ring or not?
1 Answer Hi Peter. No, do not use the c-clip at the end of the shaft. Only use all parts of the new drum bearing assy. Part # WE25M40. Thank you. Read More...
Sarann October 25, 2011 for Model Number DBXR463GD2WW Hi, recently my dryer been making this strange noise where it sounds like you are dryer a pair of sneaker in there. I don't know what is wrong with it. Any help would be helpful thanks in advance.
1 Answer Hello Sarann. You will want to check the rear bearing kit WE25M40 and the front glides WE03X37317 and see if they are bad. If so, they can cause the noise you are describing. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dave October 24, 2011 for Model Number dlb1550bal This kit of parts (AP2619102) looks to be correct for my dryer. However, I also see AP2619300 in your parts list that appears to be a subset of the parts in the AP2619102, but it costs more. What is the difference between the two kits, why does the one with more parts cost less, and which is the right one for my dryer?
1 Answer Dave, The correct part number for your model number is WE25M40. The WE25M40 bearing kit will also work, but you will need to attach the shaft and bearing to the hub assembly first. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Joey September 27, 2011 for Model Number GE DDG6380GCL Whats the difference between this model and AP2619300? Which should I be using to repair my rear drum?
