Description

This glide is a replacement drum support that helps the dryer drum rotate smoothly and reduces noise from metal-on-metal contact. Installing the glide restores quieter operation and prevents drum wear caused by a damaged support surface. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or cracked drum glide that lets the drum spin freely
• Reduces squeaking, scraping, or grinding noises during operation
• Prevents uneven drum movement that can cause rubbing or premature wear
• Helps maintain correct drum alignment for reliable drying performance

What's included:

• One replacement glide

Install notes:

• Recommended for use on dryers that show noise or visible drum wear at the glide location
• Inspect adjacent drum seals and rollers; replace if damaged to avoid repeat wear
• Use basic hand tools; unplug the appliance and disconnect power before starting
