Part #WE03X37318
This authentic, white Drum Bearing Slide, also known as the bearing drum slide, glide, or pad, is a plastic, easy-to-install part for your dryer. It replaces the dryer's front drum slide to allow for easier movement. You'll know if this part is an issue if your dryer is unable to tumble properly or is very noisy. Damage can come from regular use. The part attaches to the outermost side of the bearing. Check both slides for signs of wear, because they often wear at the same rate, and should be replaced at the same time; there are 2 of these particular slides per dryer. This part is sold individually, so you'll need to purchase multiple parts if replacing both at the same time.

Part #WE03X37317
This original equipment manufacturer Drum Bearing Slide is a plastic, green, easy-to-install part for your dryer. It replaces the dryer's front drum slide to allow for easier movement. You'll know if this part is an issue if your dryer is unable to tumble properly or is very noisy. Damage can come from regular use. As the slides start to break down it may cause your dryer to make noise or not dry clothes in the usual amount of time. You will need to purchase two for both sides of your dryer. They attach to the outer-most sides of the bearing. The manufacturer recommends replacing both slides at the same time. Take this opportunity to clean out the lint and dust in the dryer, to keep it running smoothly. This is a genuine replacement part that comes directly from the manufacturer. This item is sold individually. The part attaches to the outermost side of the bearing. Although this part is denoted as being "Green" in its title, many users and technicians have noted that its true colour is closer to a dark gray or black.
Drive Belt – Part Number: WE03X29897

Drive Belt
★★★★★
★★★★★
(188)
Part #WE03X29897
This Drive Belt is 89.5" long and comes in black, featuring four ribs on the inside for a better grip. This is a long belt that wraps all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and then around the drive motor pulley, allowing all the parts to work together, spinning the drum as the motor rotates. If the drum will not turn when the dryer is turned on the belt is likely broken. It is common for belts to stretch or become brittle over time, which is what leads to the breakage. If broken, it should be replaced; the drum simply cannot spin without this belt. Refer to your model number and user manual to check if this part is right for you. Ensure you use work gloves to protect your hands from sharp internal parts during this repair. Please note: When comparing the length of your old belt to the length of the belt as stated here, remember that a small amount of stretching and contortion may occur with belts over time for a range of different reasons. Unless your belt is drastically different in length, this belt is what you are looking for despite any small inaccuracies. You will need to remove power to your appliance, remove the main panel, and access the motor drive to slip your new belt back into place.

To repair, first locate the top section in the interior of the dryer and check the bulb. Next, unscrew the bulb by making three to four turns. Pro tip: the bulb cannot be screwed straight in, instead lean it at a 45-degree angle. Refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer for further instruction and guidance. Remember to unplug the dryer from the power source for your safety.

The top of the drum is trapping items between the drum and frame, causing the items to remain snagged as the drum continues to turn, usually just twisting and leaving marks, but also tearing some holes in clothes.What to do?

We have researched your model and recommend the following parts to fix your issue: top bearing, the dryer drum glides, the drum seal felt seal and the duct trap assembly.

Linda - For model number DCVH515EF0WW

Dryer will turn on and run a few minutes and shut off. Have to unplug and wait a few minutes and it will turn back on and run a few minutes and shut off again. It does this in all modes (at least the few i tried)
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Linda, thank you for writing. There are a few options with this issue. First, please take off the back of the dryer and thoroughly vacuum the inside and inside the vent tubing. Second, it may be a faulty Door Latch PartSelect Number PS3502777 or Door Switch PartSelect Number PS2344321 that the motion of the laundry is popping the door open. If the Moisture Sensor PartSelect Number PS1021860 is defective or dirty, it may fail to detect moisture and inadvertently tell the dryer to shut off when the laundry is still wet. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer interface lights up. Press start button and nothing happens. It worked just fine 2 days ago. Bearings were replaced last year.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Greg, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the door switch, part number PS2344321, to solve the issue. If the door switch is faulty, the machine's control board will not receive the signal that the door is closed, and it will prevent the motor from starting. We hope this helps!

Due to over loading of the dryer the drum ruined the slides and was making a bad noise due to plastic rubbing plastic

  • Matthew from Plainfield, IL

  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
It was pretty easy. After already taking apart the dryer to install a new belt I knew exactly my plan of action. I removed the two screws that hold the top panel of the dryer to the front panel. I then removed the top panel and removed the screws that hold the front to each side panel. I than pulled the front away from the cabinet and drum. I put the new slides in place and installed a new felt strip. I put it back together and that was that. Very easy.

Heater element went out

  • Brian from Clinton, MO
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
First of all, unplug the dryer. I removed the two screws on the front of the cabinet to remove the top. I then took out the screws to remove the dial panel. Release the belt for the drum through the access hole in the rear of the dryer. Remove the front cover and pull the drum assembly out.

Remove the element disc from the rear of the housing, take note of the the wireing placement. Replace disc and reverse order of disassembly.

This job was easy for me as I am a tinkerer by nature. The hardest part of the whole job was waiting on the part, which by the way was ordered on a Sunday evening and I had the replacement in my hands and back in the dryer running by 1:00 PM on the following Tuesday!

I book marked this website and WILL refer it to others who simply need a repair, not a costly new appliance!
