Customer Questions and Answers for Screw - Roller (Single) by Whirlpool

This replacement roller mounting screw secures the dryer drum roller or roller bracket to keep the drum aligned. Installing the correct screw restores proper roller position and helps reduce drum wobble and rubbing noises. What it does:

• Fastens the dryer drum roller or roller bracket to the dryer cabinet or shaft
• Keeps the roller aligned so the drum rotates smoothly
• Prevents the roller from shifting, which can cause scraping, squealing, or banging noises
• Helps avoid premature wear of the roller and drum seal caused by misalignment

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before starting any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid power drivers that may strip the screw head
• Do not overtighten — snug to secure the roller without deforming the bracket or shaft
• Inspect the roller, shaft, and mounting hardware; replace any worn components for a lasting repair
