It's listed for the Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel DE8060P1, DE8060P2 and DH8060P, and the Haier HD-C80E1. The guides sit behind the front panel and keep the open end of the drum centred as it turns, so a worn pair is a common source of noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDryer squealing or drum scraping at the front\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of a dryer drum runs on guide bearings mounted to the front bulkhead, while the back is supported separately. As those front guides wear, the drum drops slightly and starts rubbing where it shouldn't. Typical signs are a squeal or chirp on every rotation, a scraping or grinding sound near the door, worn felt seals, and a drum that sits lower at the front than it used to. Ignoring it can damage the drum lip and front seal, so it's worth fixing early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part H0180800201AB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront drum guide bearing kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack of 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel DE8060P1, DE8060P2 and DH8060P, and the Haier HD-C80E1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the front guide bearings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the dryer and, on a condenser or heat pump model, empty the water container. The front panel has to come off to reach the guides, so photograph the door switch wiring and any other connections first. Support the drum while the front bulkhead is removed. Clean out lint, fit both new guides, refit the bulkhead and turn the drum by hand to check it runs freely and quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to replace both guides?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's best to. The kit includes two because both guides carry the front of the drum and wear at a similar rate. Fitting just one can leave the drum sitting unevenly, and the noise can come back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547324117070,"sku":"H0180800201AB","price":68.53,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/h0180800201ab-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dryer-front-drum-guide-bearing-kit-pack-of-2.jpg?v=1792025782","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/h0180800201ab-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dryer-front-drum-guide-bearing-kit-pack-of-2","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
