Craig W November 07, 2018 for Model Number DHDSR46EG0WW I want to replace the entire bearing kit but the original bearing (WE1M462) is black and has a fatter base, while in kit WE25M40 the bearing is white and shorter. The white bushing seems to slide up and down the shaft. Are these cross compatible?
1 Answer Craig, You will want to use the bearing kit part number WE25M40 as it will have all the components and the WE1M462 is just the bearing sleeve and it comes with the kit. Read More...
1 Answer Sonny, The only difference is one kit has more parts than the other. But yes they are the same parts. Read More...
Jeff October 08, 2018 for Model Number DPSE810EG3WT Hello. I have replaced the rear bearing assembly three times on this dryer. Front bearing and felt assembly as well. The rear bearing is now squeaking again and I suspect worn again. I will order a new rear bearing assembly but I am wondering if this bearing requires any kind of lubrication?
1 Answer Jeff, I would recommend a high temperature bearing grease anytime you replace a bearing on a dryer, especially where this bearing is located. Read More...
Jeff May 04, 2018 for Model Number DPSR473GW0WW I replaced the drive belt, idler pulley and rear bearing assembly on my GE gas dryer yesterday. Before I did this repair, the dryer heated properly. Before removing the gas diffuser assembly, I took photos of the various thermostat wires that need to be disconnected in order to remove the diffuser to replace the rear bearing support. I am 99% sure that I reconnected all of the wires correctly. However, the dryer will not heat now. What guidance can you provide to correct this problem?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. You will need to check and see if the ignitor is glowing? If not, you may have damaged the ignitor. They are very brittle. Also recheck all your wiring connections and make sure you turned the gas back on. Thank you. Read More...
Roy April 16, 2018 for Model Number dde7108pllad I replaced the entire rear drum bearing assembly. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-rear-drum-bearing-we25m40-ap2619300.html The noise was back within 24 hours. The nylon? bearing simply did not hold up. This part does not appear to be the same quality as the oem part. Any advice? I have ordered the bearing, http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-bearing-drum-we3x75-ap2042531.html As it appears to be the oem material.
1 Answer Roy, You will want to check the front bearing slides and check the felt seal at the front of the drum. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Jonathan. No, you will need to order WE25M40 for the rear bearing kit needed for the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Thomas March 01, 2018 I order the bearing kit we25m40 when I received it I had to put it together as it was not assembled as shown, there was no clip to put on the end of the shaft that holds the plastic bearing on, also there was no slot in the plate to put the grounding strap through. What do I need to do
1 Answer Thomas, You would not need a clip to put on the end of the shaft as the bearing should stay on when installed. Also there should also be a ground strap on the unit and would not need to use the new one. Read More...
Rob February 03, 2018 for Model Number Parts for DRSR495EG6WW Electric Dryer The actual model number is DRSR495EG6WW for a GE Electric Dryer. I went ahead and used the old receiving unit on the rear drum bearing as it has the ground strap and slot to fit it in. I was going to keep the leftover receiving unit I purchased from here that has no slot and did not come with a grounding strap as a spare but if a ground strap is required I'll just dispose of it. If the new kits are comprised of a metal that doesn't require grounding then I'll keep it. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rob, The grounding strap is necessary to prevent a possible electrical shock from the drum assembly should a hot wire come in contact with the drum assembly. If you ordered the WE25M40 kit from us we will need you to call us at 1-877-477-7278 with the units' Model and Serial number and your order number so we can reship the part. Read More...
Rob C. February 02, 2018 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 If the rear drum bearing requires a grounding strap why is s it missing from the kit I purchased? Also, the receiving unit does not have a slot to insert the ground strap anyway. Is it made from a different material that results in the ground strap to be no longer necessary?
1 Answer Hello Rob, I'm sorry but this unit, GHW9100LW1, is a Whirlpool washing machine and cannot use the GE design rear drum bearing kit for a dryer. If this model number was included by mistake we need you to please post a new question including the model number from the dryers' I.D. tag so we can verify the correct part number needed and the correct installation procedure. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Rob Cook February 02, 2018 for Model Number GE Dryer DRSR495EG6ww I'm replacing the rear drum bearing using the WE25M40 Dryer Rear Drum bearing kit. The old bearing kit has a grounding strap but this kit does not. Is a grounding strip necessary?
1 Answer Rob, Yes, the grounding strap is necessary, for safety reasons. The 1/2" X 1 1/2 " preformed strap needs to be mounted to the back of the drum drum bearing/cabinet area. The drum can develop a static charge and could discharge when you reach into the tub. Read More...
