The Rear Drum Bearing Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It is a comprehensive kit that includes both rear drum bearings and necessary mounting hardware. These bearings play a vital role in smoothly rotating the dryer drum during cycles, reducing vibrations and noise.  

Symptoms of bad bearings include:

  • Excessive shaking or vibrating during cycles
  • Loud grinding or scraping noises emanating from the rear drum area   
  • Difficulty turning or rotating the dryer drum by hand
  • Increased wear and early failure of other components 

Causes of bad bearings can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or unbalanced loads that strained the bearings, or damage from extended use without proper lubrication.

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

Juan, Thanks for the question! I am assuming you mean the grill in the back of the drum, it uses screw part number WE2M163.

Hello Mary, the blue streaks in a light-colored dryer drum interior is a dye transfer from wet blue jeans. It is very common and is not considered a problem as it will not retransfer to light-colored clothes. As far as the squeaking noise the dryer interior would need to accessed and the rear drum rollers, idler pulley and front drum bearing need to be checked for wear.

Frank, the ventilation may need to be inspected for any debris that may be caught up. The idler pulley WE12X83 will also need to be inspected to ensure that it is able to move freely when the belt is removed.

Bob, Check the glides at the front of the unit to make sure that they are not damaged as this would be the most likely cause for this issue.

Gary, while a high-temperature grease can be used and would work, it can also collect any lint or dust that may accumulate in the dryer. This accumulation can cause excessive noises to occur.

Tama48 for Model Number GE-DDE7000SBLWW

I ordered your rear bearing kit for my dryer and front bearing glides. The install of both went great and I messed up getting the belt back on the motor and idler pulley. Couldn't figure out why the dryer wouldn't start. Apparently the idler arm has a switch that if that arm isn't on that belt correctly the dryer won't start. Anyway my real issue was the grounding strap. I did install it but there was NO slot on my machine for that littler bent part to go through the machine. At least I couldn't find it. I put it all back together and it runs fine. Is that going to make a difference?

1 Answer

Tama48, The "grounding strap" on the rear drum bearing kit serves several safety purposes. Not only does it assist in grounding the heater assembly and components, as well as reducing or eliminating the static charge that can build up in the drum when tumbling certain articles. If your kit doesn't have the slot for the ground strap, straighten the tip, and make sure the mounting screws and retainer is properly secured and tighten the screws. then make sure the heater assembly is properly secured to the cabinet.
