The Dryer Bearing Ring Kit helps the dryer’s drum maintain constant spinning during the drying cycle. If your drum is making uncommon noise during operation, or if there are marks left on clothing after the drying cycle, the bearing rings may be damaged and should be replaced. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
