This OEM Replacement Part is a drum support roller for dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Inglis, Maytag, and Crosley. This genuine Whirlpool part is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. The drum support roller is responsible for securing the drum as it rotates and most dryers need two of them. It is essential to check and replace both drum support rollers to ensure proper drum rotation.

A faulty drum support roller can lead to loud squealing, squeaking, or thumping noises during dryer operation. It is recommended that this medium-difficulty repair be performed with caution. The power, gas, and vent lines should be disconnected before beginning. You may need pliers, a screwdriver, a nut driver, and a wrench to complete the replacement.

Note: This part includes the drum roller only. The tri-rings must be purchased separately.
