The Front Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes the front bearing and seal for the dryer drum, which work together to provide smooth operation and prevent premature wear.

Symptoms of issues include:

• Noisy or grinding sounds coming from the drum area
• Vibration noticed during the operation
• Difficulty turning or rotating the dryer drum by hand
• Reduced efficiency and longer drying times

This OEM replacement kit is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Nickel

This push-type plastic rivet is a small fastening clip that secures trim, panels and lightweight components on appliances. It replaces worn or broken rivets to restore a snug fit and reduce rattles or loose trim. What it does:

• Secures interior or exterior trim, panels and access covers
• Holds wiring harnesses or insulation in place where a low-profile fastener is required
• Replaces missing or damaged rivets that cause loose panels or vibration noise
• Simple push-in design creates a firm hold without screws or adhesives

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on panels or wiring
• Push the rivet stem into the hole until it snaps; remove by prying out the center pin or using pliers
• Use the same style and size rivet as the original to ensure proper fit and retention
• Protect surrounding surfaces from tools and work deliberately to avoid damage
