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.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Drum Support Roller (Part Number: OEM18026328)

1 Answer

Angiehope, A high pitched squealing/squeaking noise is usually due to a dry, worn drum roller bearing WP37001042 or an idler pulley, if it has a brass insert WP37001287 and you want to consider a new belt. You'll need to raise the top, remove the front panel and front bulkhead, and remove the drum to access these components. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Jeff. The manufacture only makes a few different kits. Unfortunately, this model is not one of them. If you need more than the roller WP37001042, you will need to order it separately. Hope this helps.

Hello Jason! The roller WP37001042 only comes with the roller itself, no clips included. If you are needing additional parts, we will need your appliance model number. Thanks.

Hello Oldgramps2. No, you do not need to apply lube to the rollers. The bearings are already impregnated with oil. Hope this helps.

First disconnect the power to the unit. You will need to raise the top of the dryer, and remove the screws holding the front panel in place. Unplug the door switch and remove the front panel. Next remove the front shroud holding the drum in place. Pull the drum forward, just a little, where the drum will drop down to access the rollers. Remove the clip from the roller shaft and install the new roller. Reassemble in reverse order. Hope this helps.
