🧩 Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your dryer uses roller-type drum support bearings / glides, not only front/back drum glides or alternate support systems.
-
Installation will require removing the dryer top and front panel to access the drum roller — power should be disconnected beforehand.
-
If drum wobble or noise persists after replacing the roller, inspect the drum bearing, glides, motor pulley and belt for wear.
-
Proper maintenance (cleaning lint, keeping vent clear) will help prolong the life of the new roller.
