2 Pack - 12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
The 12638000000786 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles or as the roller continues to wear.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000000786 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Is this the same roller as your 12638000004021 listing?
No. These are two distinct Midea part numbers, and they do not cross-reference or replace each other. If you're not sure which roller your dryer uses, check the number stamped on your existing roller or contact our support team with your model number, and we'll confirm which one is correct before you order.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the Phillips screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum slightly, and slide the old belt off. Loop the new 661570 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward toward the drum. Route the belt around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific repair video for the correct belt path. Reassemble and run a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum rollers (WPW10314173) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 661570 and 661570V?
These are the same belt. 661570V is the updated OEM part number (the "V" denotes the current version) that superseded the original 661570. Both numbers refer to the identical drum belt — this aftermarket replacement is compatible with both.
How does the 661570 differ from the 341241 and W10205415 belts?
All three are Whirlpool-family dryer drum belts, but they differ in length, width, and rib count. The 661570 is 93-1/2" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The 341241 is 92-1/4" long x 1/4" wide with 4 ribs and 3 grooves. The W10205415 is 92" long x 3/8" wide with 5 ribs and 4 grooves. They are not interchangeable — always use the part number specific to your dryer model.
How do I know if my drum belt is broken?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor hums but the drum does not spin. You may also notice a thumping or slapping sound, a burning rubber smell, or damp clothes after a full drying cycle. Open the dryer cabinet to visually confirm if the belt is broken, frayed, or stretched out of shape.
Should I also replace the idler pulley and drum rollers?
Yes — since the dryer is already disassembled, it is highly recommended to inspect and replace the idler pulley (W10837240) and drum support rollers (WPW10314173) at the same time. All three parts wear together and are sold together in the 4392067 dryer repair kit. Replacing all three prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is made from high-strength rubber to match the dimensions and performance of the original 661570V belt.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Element with Bare Hands Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. The new heating element coil is sensitive to skin oils, which can cause premature burnout — handle the element only by the metal frame, not the coil wire. Remove the rear panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing/cannister. Take a photo of all wire connections and the orientation of the element before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wires from the old element terminals and remove the housing from the dryer. With the housing on a workbench, remove the old element from inside the housing — note exactly how it sits and how the restring is positioned. Install the new DC47-00019A element into the same housing, following the same orientation as the old element. Do not let the Ni-Cr heating wire touch the housing during installation — this can cause arcing and immediate burnout. Reinstall the housing in the dryer, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals, and reinstall the rear panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. While the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat, thermal fuse, and thermistor — if the element failed due to overheating, these may also be stressed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this really fit both Samsung AND Whirlpool dryers?
Yes — this is one of the more unusual cases in dryer parts where an aftermarket heating element has been designed to serve as a direct replacement for both the Samsung DC47-00019A and the Whirlpool/Maytag WP35001247 (35001247) elements. The two OEM elements share the same physical dimensions, electrical specifications (240V, 5300W), and terminal configuration, allowing a single aftermarket element to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Samsung's DV series, Whirlpool/Maytag's affected dryers (MDE6700/MDG6700 and similar), and select Amana, Inglis, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built or Samsung-built models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
Why do I need to reuse the housing from the old element?
This listing is for the heating element assembly only — the metal cannister or housing that contains the element is not included. The housing is a heavy gauge metal enclosure with mounting brackets that secure it to the dryer cabinet, along with airflow ducting that directs air across the heating coil. Reusing the housing keeps the cost down and is standard practice for this type of replacement. Carefully remove the old element from the housing, install the new element in its place, and then reinstall the housing in the dryer. If your housing is damaged or burned through, it will need to be replaced separately.
How do I know if the heating element has failed?
The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp at the end. You may also notice the dryer taking much longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit (no continuity).
Should I replace the thermal fuse and thermostats at the same time?
It's a good idea to inspect them. When a heating element fails — especially if it failed due to overheating rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermistor located in the same area can also be stressed by the heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking these components' continuity with a multimeter is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if any of them are also on the verge of failing.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.

12638000004021 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller
The 12638000004021 is a genuine Midea OEM dryer drum support roller, sold under the Frigidaire/Midea manufacturing relationship for Midea-built dryers and select Frigidaire, Insignia, and Kenmore dryers using this same platform. This roller sits underneath the drum, along its rear support track, and does the physical work of holding the drum's weight while letting it turn freely as the belt drives it around. A dryer typically uses more than one of these rollers working together to keep the drum properly supported and centered.
Over time, the wheel and bearing inside the roller wear down from the constant heat and rotation the dryer subjects them to, eventually developing a flat spot, seizing up, or simply wearing thin enough that the drum sits unevenly. A worn roller produces a distinctive symptom: a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation, often getting louder as a load tumbles. It directly replaces 5304511415, AP7990985.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. On a gas model, also close the gas shutoff valve before moving the cabinet. Wear work gloves — sheet metal edges inside the cabinet are sharp. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel, then release the drum belt from the idler pulley to relieve tension so the drum can be supported and moved slightly for access to the rollers underneath. Photograph the roller and axle positions before removing anything. Remove the retaining clip or fastener holding the worn roller's axle in place, then slide the old roller off. Install the new 12638000004021 roller onto the axle in the same orientation, and secure it with the retaining clip or fastener. While you're in there, check the other rollers by spinning each one by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or worn, replace them at the same time, since they're typically the same age and wear on a similar schedule. Re-tension the belt around the idler pulley, reassemble the rear panel, restore power, and run a short empty cycle to confirm the noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer makes a rumbling noise that gets louder over time. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn drum roller. As the wheel and bearing wear down, the noise typically starts subtle and gradually worsens, often becoming most noticeable with a full load as the extra weight puts more load on the worn wheel. If the noise rises and falls in rhythm with the drum turning, a roller is the most likely cause.
Should I replace just one roller, or all of them?
It's worth checking all of them while you have access. Dryers typically use more than one roller supporting the drum, and since they're the same age and under the same stress, if one has worn out the others are often not far behind. Spin each roller by hand — if any feel stiff, gritty, or rough, replace them together to avoid repeating this repair again soon.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original wheel design, bearing, and axle fitment of the drum roller originally installed in your dryer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Safety First — Unplug Dryer Before Starting Unplug the dryer from the power source (and shut off the gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair. To access the drum belt, remove the top panel and front panel of the dryer. Lift the drum out of the cabinet, remove the old belt, and loop the new 6602-001655 belt around the drum with the ribbed side facing inward. Route the belt slack around the idler pulley and motor pulley — consult your dryer's service manual or a model-specific video for the correct belt path around the pulleys. Reassemble the front panel, top panel, and restore power before running a test cycle. Tip: While the drum is out, this is an ideal time to also inspect and replace the idler pulley and drum support rollers if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 6602-001655 fit my Samsung or Kenmore dryer?
This belt is compatible with select Samsung and Kenmore dryers. Use the model search above to verify your model number, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does the dryer drum belt do?
The drum belt wraps around the outside of the dryer drum and connects to the motor pulley and idler pulley. As the motor spins, it drives the belt which causes the drum to rotate, tumbling your clothes through the heated air to dry them. A broken or worn belt means the drum cannot spin.
How do I know if my drum belt is broken?
The most obvious sign is that the dryer motor runs and you can hear it humming, but the drum does not spin. You may also hear a thumping or slapping sound if the belt is slipping or partially broken. Opening the dryer cabinet and visually inspecting the belt will confirm if it is broken, frayed, or stretched.
Should I replace the idler pulley and drum rollers at the same time?
Yes — since you need to disassemble the dryer to replace the belt anyway, it is highly recommended to also inspect and replace the idler pulley (DC93-00634A) and drum support rollers (DC97-16782A) at the same time. These parts wear at a similar rate and replacing all three together prevents having to disassemble the dryer again in the near future.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is made from premium neoprene rubber with polyester cord reinforcement to match the dimensions and performance of the original belt.

12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly (Drum Rear Bearing)
The 12238200001084 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement bearing house assembly compatible with select Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers, including the CDE41N1AW series. The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear of the drum and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within, supporting the back of the drum and allowing it to spin smoothly. Unlike front-mounted slide rollers used on some dryer platforms, this Midea design uses a rear bearing housing assembly to carry the load at the back of the drum.
When the bearing house assembly wears out — typically from age, lack of lubrication, or accumulated lint and debris — the drum no longer spins smoothly on its rear support, resulting in grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise, increased drum drag, and in advanced cases, visible wobble or binding of the drum during rotation. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 12238200001084 is a complete bearing house assembly designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment component. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools, as drum removal is required.
Quick Answer
The 12238200001084 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Bearing House Assembly fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers with grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise from the rear of the drum, increased drum drag, or visible drum wobble. Mounted at the rear of the drum — houses the bearing the rear drum shaft rotates within. Genuine OEM. Compatible with Midea CDE41N1AW and related Midea electric dryer platform models. Requires drum removal to access — a more involved repair than a front roller swap.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Take a photo of the belt routing before disconnecting the drive belt from the idler pulley. Carefully lift the drum out of the cabinet and set it aside on a padded surface. Locate the bearing house assembly mounted at the rear bulkhead where the drum's rear shaft was seated. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old bearing house assembly and pull it free. Clean any accumulated lint or debris from the mounting area before installing the new part. Install the new 12238200001084 bearing house assembly in the same position and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the drum, re-route and reconnect the drive belt, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the drum rotates smoothly and quietly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bearing house assembly do?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead of the dryer and houses the bearing that the rear drum shaft rotates within. It supports the back of the drum as it spins, allowing smooth, low-friction rotation throughout the drying cycle. Unlike dryer platforms that use front-mounted slide rollers or felt seals for drum support, this Midea design relies on a dedicated rear bearing housing to carry the structural load at the back of the drum. As the bearing wears, friction increases, leading to noise, drag, and eventually wobble or binding if left unaddressed.
How do I know if the bearing house assembly has failed versus another component?
A grinding, rumbling, or squealing noise specifically tied to drum rotation — rather than the blower motor or idler pulley — and noise that changes pitch as the drum speeds up or slows down often points to the rear bearing. With the dryer unplugged and the drum exposed (front panel removed), try rotating the drum by hand: if you feel noticeable resistance, grinding, or grittiness compared to a smooth, free rotation, the bearing house assembly has likely worn out and needs replacement.
Why does this repair require removing the drum?
The bearing house assembly is mounted at the rear bulkhead behind the drum, supporting the drum's rear shaft from the inside. There is no way to access this component without first removing the front panel and lifting the drum out of the cabinet. This makes it a more involved repair than swapping a front-accessible part like a belt or idler pulley, but it follows the same general dryer disassembly procedure used for accessing other internal drum components.
Should I inspect other components while the drum is out?
Yes — since the drum must already be removed to access the bearing house assembly, this is an excellent opportunity to inspect the drive belt, idler pulley, and any felt seals or gaskets around the drum opening for wear. Components in this drum drive system tend to wear together, and addressing multiple worn parts in a single repair session helps avoid a near-term repeat teardown.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same bearing house assembly installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713
The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally.
Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this fuse cannot be reset once it blows; it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead.
⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix.
Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that.
This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.

XPARTCO 349241T Dryer Drum Roller Set (2-Pack)
The XPARTCO 349241T is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear drum support roller set compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family 29-inch dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef. The drum support rollers are cylindrical rubber-and-metal wheels mounted on shafts at the rear of the dryer cabinet that cradle and support the outer edge of the drum as it rotates. Without the rollers, the drum would drag directly on the cabinet, causing rapid wear and generating the loud thumping or squealing noise that indicates failing rollers.
This set includes 2 drum rollers, 4 tri-ring retaining clips, and 2 retaining washers — everything needed for a complete rear roller replacement. Each roller measures 3-1/4"L x 1"W x 3-1/4"H and is constructed from rubber over a metal bearing hub with a plastic axle support. Both rollers must always be replaced at the same time. The set directly replaces 349241, 349241TVP, 8170, 8205, 337089, 340352, 661562, 3389901, 3397588, 3397590, AP3098345, PS347627, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Often replaced together with the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) for a complete drum drive repair. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the screws inside the lint screen housing. Use a putty knife to release the top panel spring clips and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum. Release the drive belt from the idler pulley, lift the drum forward, and set it aside. The rear drum support rollers are mounted on shafts on the rear bulkhead — each roller is secured with a tri-ring clip and a retaining washer. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the old tri-ring clips, then slide the old rollers off the shafts. Install the new rollers, new retaining washers, and new tri-ring clips on the shafts. Reinstall the drum, re-route the belt around the motor and idler pulley, and reassemble the front and top panels. Restore power and run a test cycle to verify quiet, smooth drum operation. Tip: while the dryer is open, inspect and replace the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) if worn. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, putty knife, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the drum support rollers do?
The rear drum support rollers are cylindrical wheels mounted on fixed shafts at the back of the dryer cabinet. As the drum rotates, its rear outer rim rests on these rollers, which carry the drum's weight and allow it to spin smoothly and quietly. When the rubber wheels wear down or the bearing hubs corrode, the drum no longer rides smoothly on the rollers — causing thumping, rumbling, or squealing noises that get progressively worse. In severe cases, worn rollers allow the drum to sag and drag against the cabinet rear panel.
Why must I replace both rollers at the same time?
Both rear drum support rollers carry the same load and experience the same wear through every drying cycle. When one roller fails, the other has been under the same stress for the same number of cycles and is almost certainly near the end of its useful life. Replacing only the failed roller leaves one worn roller supporting the drum unevenly, which puts extra stress on the new roller and causes it to wear out much faster. Replace both rollers at the same time to ensure even drum support and get the full service life from the new parts.
Should I also replace the belt and idler pulley at the same time?
Yes — this is the ideal time. Since the dryer must be fully disassembled to access the rear drum rollers, replacing the drum belt (341241) and idler pulley (691366 or 279640) at the same time is strongly recommended. All three parts wear at similar rates, and a worn belt or idler pulley is often what caused the rollers to wear prematurely. Doing all three in one repair eliminates the most common drum drive failure points and saves you from repeating the teardown in the near future. The 4392065 maintenance kit includes all three parts together.
What causes dryer drum rollers to wear out?
Drum rollers wear naturally over time from the continuous load of supporting the rotating drum. The most common accelerating factors are operating the dryer with a worn or broken belt (which allows the drum to sag and puts extra weight on the rollers), running very large or heavy loads frequently, and allowing lint to accumulate around the roller shafts, which causes the bearings to run dry and wear faster. Regular dryer maintenance — including cleaning lint from around the drum and periodically checking the belt — helps extend roller life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement set built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from rubber, metal, and plastic to match the dimensions and load-bearing performance of the original 349241T drum roller set.
