Description
This replacement dryer drum is the rotating tub that holds and tumbles clothes while channeling airflow for even drying. Swap a damaged drum to stop rubbing noises, fabric snags, and uneven tumbling. What it does:
- Rotates inside the dryer cabinet to tumble laundry and direct hot air through the load.
- 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.
What's included: One drum. Install notes:
- 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.
- If you hear persistent noises after install, recheck belt alignment, roller condition, and cabinet mounting.
