The Drum Support Roller is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a critical role in supporting and stabilizing the dryer drum as it rotates, allowing clothes to tumble evenly and dry efficiently. This support roller ensures smooth, quiet operation and helps prevent unnecessary strain on the motor and other components.

Causes of a bad Drum Support Roller can include continuous wear from regular use, overloading the dryer, which puts extra strain on the rollers, and lack of maintenance, such as not cleaning the lint and debris that can accumulate on the rollers.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Roller include:

  • A thumping or rumbling noise during operation
  • The dryer drum not turning smoothly or at all
  • Excessive vibration of the dryer unit

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
