General Electric Dryer DCCH43EA4WW Noisy

The Drum Support Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part allows the smooth rotation of the dryer drum. This small yet crucial component plays a pivotal role in the dryer's operation, supporting the back of the drum as it turns, and ensuring that clothes are dried evenly and efficiently.

Over time, the drum support bearing may wear out or become damaged due to the constant friction and heat generated during the dryer's operation.  

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Bearing include:

• A squealing or grinding noise during operation, indicating that the bearing is worn out.
• Difficulty turning the drum by hand.
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer.
• Increased drying times, as a result of the drum not maintaining the correct speed due to bearing friction.

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

Supports and stabilizes the dryer drum for smooth rotation. Replace if you hear squealing, grinding, or the drum moves excessively. Confirm fit with your model.

Drum glide supports the front of your dryer drum for smooth rotation. Replace when you hear scraping or squeaking sounds. Confirm fit with your model.

Dryer drum belt wraps around drum and motor pulley to spin the drum. Replace if dryer won't start, makes squealing noise, or drum doesn't turn. Verify fit.

This upper drum felt is the replacement seal that cushions and guides the dryer drum for quieter operation and smoother rotation. It helps protect the drum edge and prevents clothes from catching where the drum meets the front bulkhead. What it does:

• Cushions the drum and reduces metal-on-metal rubbing that causes squeaks or grinding noises
• Keeps garments from getting caught between the drum and cabinet edge
• Helps maintain proper drum alignment for even rotation
• Limits lint and airflow loss at the drum front to support optimal drying performance

What's included: One upper drum felt seal Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers also shut off the gas supply and disconnect the gas line per manufacturer instructions
• Remove the dryer front panel or bulkhead as required to access and replace the upper felt; keep track of fasteners and orientation
• Inspect the drum, drum rollers, glide, and lower felt while servicing and replace any worn parts to prevent premature wear of the new felt
