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?
It is a genuine Whirlpool OEM part.

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.

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.
Quick Answer
The 12638000000786 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Drum Roller fixes Midea-built dryers with a rumbling, squeaking, or thumping noise that rises and falls with drum rotation. Supports and centers the drum along its support track.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Rumbling or grinding noise that rises and falls with drum rotation
Squeaking or squealing noise from inside the dryer during operation
Thumping or knocking noise, especially with a heavier load
Noise that gets louder over time as the roller wears further
Drum that sits unevenly or wobbles slightly when turned by hand
Visible flat spot, cracking, or wear on the roller wheel
Noise that continues even with an empty drum tumbling

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.

2 Pack - 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.

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.

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.

2 Pack - XPARTCO 303373K Dryer Drum Roller Replaces 12001541, WP6-3129480
The XPARTCO 303373K is an aftermarket replacement drum roller support wheel kit for Maytag dryers, and also fits select Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Crosley, Kenmore, Amana, and Admiral models.

The roller measures approximately 3" in diameter and 1-1/8" wide, fits a 1/2" shaft, and does not require lubrication. Finished in white or black, made of rubber, plastic, and metal. Over time, the roller's bearing wears out or the wheel develops flat spots from age and use.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Install The Snap Ring Before Assembling The Roller Onto The Shaft Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the dryer, then remove the drum to access the rear drum roller(s). Remove the old roller by taking off the retainer clip, sliding the roller off its shaft, and removing the shaft itself if it's also being replaced. One customer found it much easier to install the C-clip/snap ring onto the new shaft before assembling the rest of the roller, rather than after. Once assembled this way, you're only dealing with tightening a nut at the back, which can be finger-tightened and then given about a half turn with a 1/2" wrench — useful since one side of the mounting area can be tight to access. Install the new roller, shaft, fiber washer, and nut in the same position, following this assembly order. If your dryer uses two rear rollers and you've ordered a second kit to replace both, repeat this process for the other side. Reinstall the drum, making sure it seats correctly on the new roller(s). While the dryer is fully open, this is also a good opportunity to clean out any accumulated lint from inside the cabinet, since lint buildup here is a genuine fire hazard that isn't addressed by simply cleaning the lint trap. Reassemble the back panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth tumbling with no marks transferring to clothes. Tools needed: nut driver, 1/2" wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeaks. Is this the part I need?
Yes, squeaking is one of the most common symptoms of worn drum rollers. As the roller's bearing wears down, it can no longer support the drum's rotation smoothly, producing a squeaking or squealing noise that typically gets more noticeable over time.
Should I replace both rollers, or just the one that's obviously worn?
It's recommended to replace both rear drum support rollers at the same time for even wear, even if only one appears visibly worse than the other. This kit includes a single roller and shaft, so if your dryer uses two rear rollers, you'll want to order two of this kit to replace both together.
Do I need to lubricate these rollers?
No, these rollers use a self-lubricating bearing and do not require any additional lubrication during installation or afterward.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Maytag OEM part, but is manufactured to match the diameter, width, and shaft fit of the original 12001541 drum roller kit used in compatible Maytag, Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Crosley, Kenmore, Amana, and Admiral dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Install The Snap Ring Before Assembling The Roller Onto The Shaft Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the dryer, then remove the drum to access the rear drum roller(s). Remove the old roller by taking off the retainer clip, sliding the roller off its shaft, and removing the shaft itself if it's also being replaced. One customer found it much easier to install the C-clip/snap ring onto the new shaft before assembling the rest of the roller, rather than after. Once assembled this way, you're only dealing with tightening a nut at the back, which can be finger-tightened and then given about a half turn with a 1/2" wrench — useful since one side of the mounting area can be tight to access. Install the new roller, shaft, fiber washer, and nut in the same position, following this assembly order. If your dryer uses two rear rollers and you've ordered a second kit to replace both, repeat this process for the other side. Reinstall the drum, making sure it seats correctly on the new roller(s). While the dryer is fully open, this is also a good opportunity to clean out any accumulated lint from inside the cabinet, since lint buildup here is a genuine fire hazard that isn't addressed by simply cleaning the lint trap. Reassemble the back panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm quiet, smooth tumbling with no marks transferring to clothes. Tools needed: nut driver, 1/2" wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeaks. Is this the part I need?
Yes, squeaking is one of the most common symptoms of worn drum rollers. As the roller's bearing wears down, it can no longer support the drum's rotation smoothly, producing a squeaking or squealing noise that typically gets more noticeable over time.
Should I replace both rollers, or just the one that's obviously worn?
It's recommended to replace both rear drum support rollers at the same time for even wear, even if only one appears visibly worse than the other. This kit includes a single roller and shaft, so if your dryer uses two rear rollers, you'll want to order two of this kit to replace both together.
Do I need to lubricate these rollers?
No, these rollers use a self-lubricating bearing and do not require any additional lubrication during installation or afterward.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Maytag OEM part, but is manufactured to match the diameter, width, and shaft fit of the original 12001541 drum roller kit used in compatible Maytag, Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Crosley, Kenmore, Amana, and Admiral dryers.
