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
