This component plays a pivotal role in the dryer's operation by supporting the rear of the drum, allowing it to turn evenly and quietly during cycles. Note: The rear drum bearing kit is 5303281153.

Symptoms of a failing Rear Drum Support Shaft include:

• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squeaking, during operation
• The dryer drum struggling to rotate or not rotating at all
• Increased wear on other components, such as the belt or motor, due to improper drum alignment
