Dryer Drum Slide, Glide, or Pad

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of products under brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Bearing Ring for Front Support is an OEM component designed for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a crucial role in supporting and stabilizing the dryer's front drum. By reducing friction, it ensures the drum rotates smoothly during the drying cycle. This part helps maintain proper alignment and balance, minimizing noise and vibration.

Over time, bearing rings can deteriorate due to regular wear and tear, frequent use, or damage from foreign objects in the drum. A worn, cracked, or damaged bearing ring may cause loud squeaking or grinding noises.

Signs of a faulty bearing ring include:

- Loud squeaking or grinding sounds during operation
- Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
- Difficulty rotating the drum manually
- Visible damage or wear on the bearing ring

If you notice any of these symptoms, it may be necessary to replace the bearing ring for front support with a genuine Whirlpool part. This replacement will help restore the smooth and quiet operation of your dryer's drum. This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
