The Front Drum Support is an OEM part for GE dryers. It supports the front of the dryer drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. This support helps maintain the drum's position and alignment, ensuring efficient and quiet operation.

You should replace the front drum support if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad drum support can include regular wear and tear from continuous use, overloading the dryer, or debris causing friction and damage.

Symptoms of a bad front drum support include:

  • Unusual noises such as squeaking or grinding during operation
  • The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming misaligned
  • Clothes taking longer to dry or uneven drying
  • Visible wear or damage to the support structure

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Front Drum Support (Part Number: OEM20500785)

1 Answer

Larry, the bearings are going to be a part of the transmission assembly WH16X10146. The tub would not need to be replaced unless it is damaged.

I replaced this part last year along with the new slides and already have to replace again. I got my new parts this morning and replaced the part along with re-using the old glides as they were not used at all. The drum bearing does not click into place as the video shows. No matter what I do to adjust... (what little there is to adjust) it to make the top extensions click. There is no extension on the extensions that would reach the holes to keep this in place. This is why the last years repair didn't last as the drum bearing leaned into the dryer drum and the glides were hardly being touched. The dryer drum was gliding on the plastic frame instead, which wore out and almost disintegrated the top. I would like to see if there is a better replacement part that the clips will actually work on. I will be replacing this every year otherwise. Maybe I should have just kept the original one because it actually clipped in but was just dirty and a little bit worn. Figured I would replace the whole unit as opposed to repairing it again. Thanks for listening but this is not actually an OEM fit!!

Allan, If part that you listed WE03X25079 is the front bearing support that you installed on your unit, this is not showing as being the correct OEM part for your unit. The correct OEM part for your unit would be WE3M26.

My GE dryer makes a loud screeching sound when in operation even though it dries great. I've looked through many of these QandA's for what should be replaced in addition to the rear bearing finding different answers in different posts that might be applicable to my situation. Could you please list out the parts, part #'s, and quantity for me given that the dryer has been used in this condition since late January and could possibly be wearing out additional parts.
