• Supports the drum belt and rides on rollers/glides for smooth operation.
• Replace when you see dents, cracks, deep gouges, or metal-to-metal contact.
• Common symptoms of a failing drum: scraping or grinding noises, clothes catching, visible drum damage, or uneven tumbling.
• Inspect rollers, glides, and belt when replacing the drum.

• Disconnect power (and turn off gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repairs.
• Support the drum when removing or installing to avoid dropping or damaging the cabinet or finish.
• Installation typically requires removing the dryer front or top panels and repositioning the belt and rollers; have basic hand tools ready.
