Dryer makes a loud squealing, squeaking, or grinding noise during the drying cycle caused by worn-out drum bearing slides with metal-to-plastic contact.
The dryer drum appears loose, wobbles, or sags at the front because the bearing slides that support the drum's front edge have worn down completely.
Laundry takes longer than normal to dry or dries unevenly because a misaligned drum (due to failed slides) reduces tumbling efficiency and airflow.
In severe wear cases the drum may stop spinning altogether as the front of the drum drags against the bearing housing instead of gliding smoothly on the slides.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Drum Bearing Slide the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Loud squealing, squeaking, or grinding noise during the drying cycle
⚠️ Drum appears loose, sagging, or wobbling at the front
⚠️ Clothes taking longer than normal to dry or drying unevenly
⚠️ Visible wear, thinning, or complete absence of existing drum slides on the front bearing
🛠 Pro Tip: Always replace all four front bearing slides at the same time (2× WE1M1067 green + 2× WE1M504 white) for even wear and to prevent premature re-failure. While you have the dryer apart, inspect the front bearing (WE3M26) and belt (WE12M29) as well.
