8581331000019 Genuine 608ZZ C4 Ball Bearing for Electrolux Group Dryers, Listed as Bearing 608ZZC4/10mm

8581331000019 is a genuine Electrolux group 608ZZ C4 ball bearing, listed in our system as 608ZZC4/10mm and grouped with Electrolux group dryer spares. The 608 is the bearing size, ZZ means metal shields on both sides and C4 means extra internal clearance, which suits parts that run warm. Check that the code stamped on your old bearing's shield matches before ordering.

Noisy dryer? Worn bearings are a common cause

Bearings let a shaft spin smoothly with little friction. In a dryer they support moving parts such as the drum or a pulley and run for hours at a time in warm, dusty air. As the grease dries out or lint gets in, a bearing starts to rumble, squeal or click, and the noise usually gets louder as the machine heats up. A badly worn bearing can let the shaft wobble, which wears belts, seals and felts and may eventually stop the drum turning.

Replacing the bearing

Unplug the dryer and let it cool. Use a proper bearing puller or press rather than a hammer, as shock loads can damage the new bearing. Press only on the ring that is being fitted. Clean lint and old grease from the housing and shaft, and check the shaft for wear, since a scored shaft will chew through a new bearing quickly.

Questions about this part

Can I use any 608ZZ bearing?

A standard 608ZZ shares the basic size, but this genuine part is specified with C4 clearance for its job. Fitting a normal clearance bearing where C4 is called for can lead to early noise and failure in warm running parts.
