Description
This glide pad bracket assembly supports and stabilizes the appliance drum or tub, reducing friction and helping it turn smoothly. Replacing worn glides restores quiet operation and prevents metal-on-metal contact. What it does:
- Provides a low-friction contact surface where the drum or tub rides
- Helps keep the drum/tub properly aligned and supported
- Reduces scraping, squeaking, and rough or uneven rotation
- Prevents premature wear of the drum/tub and adjacent components
What's included: One glide pad bracket assembly as shown Install notes:
- Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
- Access may require removing the cabinet or drum
- Inspect surrounding supports and replace any other worn glides or bearings for best results
- Use only manufacturer-recommended parts; do not modify the assembly or use solvents/lubricants that could degrade the glide
