What it fixes

The bearing or support that holds the rear of the drum and lets it turn smoothly. Fit it if you see:

A loud squealing, grinding or rumbling as the drum turns
The drum feels rough or loose when turned by hand
Black dust or marks at the rear of the drum
A burning smell from friction

Will it fit your appliance?

This is a compatible equivalent made by another company, so fit depends on the model. The details below come from the seller’s own listing and are shown so you can compare them with your rating plate. Always confirm on the Amazon page before you buy.

How to fit it

Unplug the dryer
Remove the top, front and drum as the model requires
Remove the old bearing or rear support from the back panel
Fit the new bearing or kit and lubricate where the instructions say
Refit the drum, belt and panels and test

Difficulty: Hard. Typical time: 90 to 180 minutes. Read the full dryer drum bearing guide, including checks to run before you buy.

Safety. Unplug the dryer before you start (and switch off the breaker if it is hard-wired). A blocked vent is a fire risk, so always clear the cause of any overheating.
