XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Dryer Drum Glide Set
The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 is an aftermarket replacement drum glide set for GE and Hotpoint dryers, also used on select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos. These plastic bearing slides are the wear pads at the front of the dryer that the drum rides on as it turns. As they wear down, the drum no longer sits and rolls smoothly, and the dryer starts to squeak, squeal, or rumble. In worse cases the drum catches or drags, and clothes can get snagged or marked between the drum and the front frame.
This set pairs both glide types used on these dryers: the WE03X37317 and the WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Because the slides wear at the same rate, replacing them together restores smooth, quiet drum rotation and avoids a repeat repair. Easy to install, typically 30–60 minutes.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Drum Glide Set fixes a GE or Hotpoint dryer that squeaks, squeals, or rumbles loudly as the drum turns, or whose drum drags or catches. Replaces both the WE03X37317 and WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or scraping noise from the drum area that gets worse over the cycle, sometimes with marks or snags on clothes.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Remove the top and front panels per your model's service guide to expose the front of the drum, and disconnect any wiring that's in the way. Lift or support the drum enough to reach the worn glides, which are held in place at the front bearing support. Pull out the old glides, noting the position and orientation of each, and fit the new ones in the same positions. Reassemble the dryer and spin the drum by hand to confirm it turns smoothly before restoring power. Replace the glides as a set, since they wear at the same rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeals or rumbles loudly while tumbling — is this the part I need?
Worn drum glides are a very common cause of squeaking and scraping from the drum area. If the plastic glides look thin, grooved, or chewed up, replacing them should quiet the dryer and restore smooth rotation. Also check the drum rollers and idler pulley, which can cause similar noises.
Why are there two different part numbers?
GE uses two glide types at the front of the drum: glide (WE03X37317) and glide (WE03X37318). This set covers both, so you can replace the full set in one go.
Should I replace all the glides or just the worn ones?
Replace them together. The glides wear at about the same rate, so if one is worn the others are usually close behind.
Will this fit my Whirlpool or Kenmore dryer?
These glides are cross-listed for select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos as well as GE and Hotpoint. Compare the part numbers on your parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
