Dryer squeaking or drum dragging? Time for a bearing kit

The bearings let the drum turn smoothly on its shaft, while the front seal stops lint and hot air escaping around the drum opening. When they wear, you'll hear squeaking, squealing or grinding as the drum turns, and the drum may rub, drop at the front or feel stiff when turned by hand. A worn front seal can let lint build up behind the drum or snag clothing that catches in the gap. Replacing bearings and seal together saves pulling the dryer apart twice.

Fitting the dryer bearing kit

Unplug the dryer and let it cool. You'll need to remove the front or back panel, depending on model, and support the drum while it's out of position. Clean any lint and old grease out of the housing, fit the new bearings and seal squarely, and turn the drum by hand before refitting the panels to make sure it runs free and quiet.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace the belt at the same time?

It isn't required, but the belt usually has to come off to fit the bearings, so it's a good time to check it. Replace it if it's cracked, glazed or stretched. Your model number will help us find the right belt.
