H0180100357 Genuine Drum Bearing Housing for Fisher & Paykel Clothes Dryers, Dryer Drum Bearing Support Replacement

Part H0180100357 is a genuine drum bearing housing for Fisher & Paykel clothes dryers. It's the part that holds the drum bearing, so the drum shaft turns smoothly and stays centred. Fisher & Paykel has more than one bearing housing in its dryer range, so make sure H0180100357 matches the number on your old part or your dryer's parts list. No models are on file for it yet.

Noisy or wobbly dryer drum

A tumble dryer drum carries a full load of wet clothes around for an hour or more, and the bearing housing takes that weight where the drum shaft is supported. As the housing or the bearing in it wears, the drum starts to move off centre. You may hear squealing, rumbling or a rhythmic thump while it turns, see the drum rocking, or find scuff marks where it rubs. The belt can also slip off when the drum drops. A cracked housing should be replaced before it lets the drum damage other parts.

Replacing the bearing housing

Unplug the dryer before you open it up. Remove the panels to reach the drum, release the belt tension and lift the drum out carefully, noting how the belt runs. Inspect the drum shaft for wear and fit a new bearing at the same time if the old one feels rough. Fit the housing, refit the drum and belt, then turn the drum by hand before running it.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the bearing at the same time?

If the bearing is noisy, rough or loose, yes. The drum has to come out to fit the housing, so it makes sense to check and renew the bearing while it's apart. Check the bearing number on your parts list or ask us through the parts enquiry form.
