The Drum Roller Axle is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is the component that attaches to the rear panel and supports the dryer drum rollers.

Causes of a bad drum roller axle can include wear from years of operation, potentially leading to bending or wobbling that disturbs smooth drum spinning. Bearing seals may also deteriorate through continuous motion and heat exposure.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Roller Axle include:

• Vibrations or imbalanced drum rotations sensed during drying
• Premature failure of other drum or suspension components
• Reduced efficiency as uneven tumbling hinders fabric agitation
• Noises and rattling sounds from within the dryer cylinder area

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and select Kenmore models
