29% of the time Bearing Ring for Front Support

Bearing ring broke in half.

Replaced the Bearing Ring. It was easier than I thought. Thanks to YouTube the repair video took less than 2 minutes. Now the noise is gone.

Electric clothes dryer front bearing ring

Your video was very helpful. It only took a few minutes to install the bearing. Although, my dryer is a Kenmore, it is essentially the same as a Whirlpool.

My dryer was making unholy noises screeching and growling at start up thumbing and bumping during the dry cycle.

I went to my old standby at AppliancePartsPros.com for answers. Immediately finding the screeching noise was the idler. I ordered a new belt and idler and drum wheels. The order was placed and the parts arrived magically the next day... NO KIDDING the next day. I digress, upon the parts arrival I discovered I had neglected the purchase of the front Bearing Ring for Front Support and called my buddies at APP. They took my order for the bearing ring and again like magic, the part arrived at my door. I followed the video instructions and within 45 minutes, my dryer was up and running as if it had undergone an exorcism. No more howling, thumping, bumping, and unholy screeching. Thank you AppliancePartsPros.com You just saved me about $300.00 buck.
