Description

This drum glide is a replacement support that helps the dryer drum turn smoothly and quietly by reducing friction where the drum contacts the bulkhead. It restores proper drum alignment and reduces squeaks and rubbing noises. What it does:

• Supports the dryer drum at the front bulkhead to maintain correct drum rotation
• Reduces friction and wear between the drum and bulkhead surface
• Can stop or reduce squeaking, scraping, or rough drum rotation
• Helps prevent premature wear to the drum and bulkhead contact area

What's included:

• One drum glide

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow all safety precautions
• Usually replaces a worn glide located at the drum-to-bulkhead contact point; access often requires removing the dryer front or drum
• Inspect surrounding glides, rollers, and seal for wear and replace as needed for best results
• Use appropriate tools and avoid forcing parts
