Before ordering:
-
Verify your dryer’s model number and serial number to ensure correct match.
-
Compare your existing drum glide: check location (right side of drum), size, adhesive/backing style and orientation.
-
If the drum rollers, belt or drum bearings are also worn, simply replacing the glide pad may not fully fix all drum-movement noise — an inspection of the whole drum assembly is recommended.
