Description
This bearing plate supports the dryer drum shaft and secures the bearing assembly so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. Replacing a worn plate restores stable drum rotation and helps reduce noise and rubbing. What it does:
- Provides a mounting surface and alignment for the drum bearing and shaft
- Keeps the drum centered to prevent wobbling, scraping, and uneven wear
- Reduces loud bearing or metal-on-metal noises caused by a damaged plate
- Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and proper belt alignment
What's included: One bearing plate Install notes:
- Turn power and gas off to the appliance before starting work
- Inspect surrounding components (bearing, shaft, seals, mounting screws) and replace if damaged
- Use correct fasteners and torque to secure the plate; improper mounting can cause noise or premature wear
