The Dryer Bearing Slide (2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are installed on the front panel of the dryer and support the drum as it rotates. They help reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth and quiet operation during drying cycles. This pack includes two bearing slides, which are commonly used together in the dryer assembly.
Over time, bearing slides can wear down due to regular use, heat, and friction. When they become worn or damaged, the drum may no longer rotate smoothly, which can affect the dryer's performance and increase noise levels.
Symptoms of bad dryer bearing slides include:
- A loud squeaking or scraping noise during operation
- Difficulty rotating the drum manually
- Clothes taking longer to dry due to improper drum movement
- Visible wear or thinning on the existing slides
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Dryer drum problem Tonya B. • Ithaca , NY • December 24, 2022
A thumping sound (like sneakers in the dryer) started happening. We stopped using it so that it wouldn't get worse and potentially break more parts. Online research suggested rear drive shaft would be the problem. But also suggested while we have the dryer apart, would be smart to replace the belt and the slides/glides (green and white plastic tabs in front, attached to the door). We ordered all the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived FAST.
It helps to have two people for this...
