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.

The Drum Support Wheel Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part secures the drum support wheels in place, ensuring that the dryer drum rotates smoothly and quietly during operation. The retainer is designed to fit precisely, preventing the support wheels from loosening or wobbling, which can lead to inefficient drying and increased wear on other components. 

Over time, retainers can wear out or become damaged, potentially leading to a loose drum support wheel. This can cause the dryer to operate noisily, vibrate excessively, or even damage the drum itself if not addressed promptly.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Wheel Retainer include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or thumping, coming from the dryer
• Excessive vibration during operation
• The dryer drum may feel unstable or wobble when turned by hand

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Whirlpool drum roller axle is an OEM replacement part responsible for supporting and facilitating the rotation of the drum in the dryer. It is designed with left-hand threads, which means it turns counterclockwise to secure the rear drum roller in place. The drum roller axle serves as the pivot point for the rear drum roller, allowing the drum to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining the stability and balance of the drum, ensuring that it spins evenly and without wobbling.

The Whirlpool drum support shaft can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Unusual noises during the drying cycle, such as squeaking, squealing, or thumping sounds
• Excessive wear or damage to the rear drum roller
• Clothes taking longer to dry than usual
• The dryer vibrating excessively or shaking during operation

The Dryer Drum Felt Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool electric dryers. Located inside the spinning dryer drum, it lines the perimeter and protects the interior surface from abrasions. This seal measures approximately 82 inches in length.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum felt seal include: 

• Scratches or scuff marks visible on the inside of the drum
• Visible wear patterns or thinning of the felt material  
• Premature rusting or corrosion of the steel drum
• Chipped or delaminated areas exposing bare steel

Causes of failure can include normal wear from friction generated during high-speed spins. Mineral deposits and grit trapped between the seal and drum may accelerate wear over extended use as well.

This OEM part is also compatible with brands like Maytag, Amana and Kenmore.

To order seal adhesive separately, order WP279368.

The Front Drum Roller Shaft is an OEM Replacement Part designed for the support of Whirlpool dryer drums. This component features right-hand threads. It serves as the structural axis on which the drum support rollers glide to support the drum. An updated part by the OEM, this shaft may necessitate the replacement of nuts on older models. This shaft is a necessary component if your existing one exhibits flat spots or the rollers stop spinning.

Installation of this part requires a 5/16 inch socket or nut driver, a 1/4 inch socket or nut driver, a small flathead screwdriver, channel-lock pliers, and a 9/16 inch socket. Before installation, remember to disconnect your appliance from its power source. Refer to the manufacturer's diagram for further instructions. This part is compatible with select Whirlpool brand models, including Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, Kenmore, Kitchen Aid, and Maytag,

This OEM Replacement Part is a leveling foot, designed for Whirlpool dryers or washer/dryer combinations. Each machine requires four of these feet. Leveling feet provide stability and balance during the drying process. This helps to minimize shaking or vibrating. If the dryer is excessively noisy or shakes excessively, this part may need to be replaced. The leveling foot is equipped with a locking nut, which should be tightly secured on each leg to prevent unscrewing.

Pliers are needed to tighten the legs and maintain optimal ground proximity, mitigating extra shaking or rocking. Each foot features a rubber bottom for added stability. The replacement process is relatively straightforward and requires only the use of pliers. This part, sourced directly from the manufacturer, is compatible with multiple brands including Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Crosley, and Inglis. Each leveling foot is sold individually.

The Motor Pulley is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, connects the dryer motor to the drum belt, enabling the drum to turn and efficiently dry your clothes. This pulley is crucial for the smooth operation of the dryer, ensuring that the belt is tensioned correctly and runs smoothly without slipping or causing wear.  

Causes of a bad Motor Pulley include wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of lint and debris that can interfere with its operation, or a malfunctioning dryer motor that puts undue stress on the pulley.

Symptoms of a bad Motor Pulley include:

• Unusual noises coming from the dryer, such as squeaking or grinding
• The dryer drum failing to turn even though the motor is running
• The dryer taking longer than normal to dry clothes, which can occur if the pulley is not providing proper tension to the belt

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Idler Arm Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, maintains tension in the dryer's belt system. This spring is crucial for the proper operation of the dryer, as it helps to keep the belt tight around the drum and motor pulley, enabling the drum to rotate smoothly during cycles.  

Causes of a bad Idler Arm Spring can include stretching or weakening over time due to constant tension, or breakage from wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad Idler Arm Spring include:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaking or squealing 
• The dryer drum may not rotate smoothly or may stop turning altogether  
• Clothes take longer to dry, or you may notice uneven drying 
• The dryer might not start if the belt is disengaged due to insufficient tension.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
