Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This dryer drum support top bearing assembly is a genuine replacement part designed to support the front of the drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly and quietly. It helps reduce friction between the drum and the dryer frame, minimizing noise and vibration while maintaining proper drum alignment. The assembly includes the bearing and bearing slides, and some versions may also include a drum light and socket. A worn or damaged bearing can lead to excessive noise, inefficient drying, or damage to other components. Installation requires basic tools and safety precautions, such as unplugging the dryer before beginning. Always verify your appliance model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

A dryer part
The part was delivered earlier than we thought. The repairman said that it was the right part. And everything is working well. Thank you!!

Fast fix
Instead of ordering several small parts and possibly have something else be wrong during the parts swap, PartsSelect had a packaged assembly. Quick and easy repair for $45 and maybe 30 minutes vs probably a $200 parts and service fee.

The dryer was making a lot of noise and clothing would get stuck along the drum
UNPLUG THE DRYER FIRST!!!
1. Open the dryer door and unscrew two screws connecting to the the top of the dryer. 2. Lift the dryer top and then pull the front of the dryer away from the frame (it should be a lift and pull motion) 3. Disconnect the power cord that runs to the dryer light 4. Unscrew the bearing top
... Read morefrom the dryer front and pop the old bearing top assembly out 5. Insert the new bearing top assembly and reverse steps 1-4 to finish the install.
I recommend that while you have the dyer opened, you take the time to clean out any dust and lint from the interior.

Noise when drum is spinning.
I removed the top and front panel with door. Removed the bearing top assembly and install the new one. Then I reinstall the front panel with door and top panel in that order. Plug and play!!!

I believe this is the part I need as the drum makes a grinding noise while turning. But does the felt seal go all the way around or just on the bottom section?
For model number GTD42EASJ2WW
Hi Chris, thank you for the question. Yes, based on our research, you may need to replace the mentioned part if your washer is noisy during operation. Also, the felt seal, part number PS12722961, does not go all the way around, but just on the bottom section. Glad to be of assistance!
Does bearing top assembly come with the bearing glides ? I have a white glide bearing hanging down. Do you think the best thing to do is change the whole top assembly?
For model number GTD42EASJ2WW
Hi Patrick, thank you for reaching out. Yes, the top bearing assembly comes with the bearing glides. Before replacing the top bearing assembly, we would recommend replacing the drum glide bearing, part number PS4704230. Glad to be of help!
What front bearing kit fits this dryer. Does the kit comes with the bearing slides
For model number GTD42EASJ2WW

Does this kit come with 4 bearings and the piece of felt??
For model number GTD45EASJ2WS
Hi Mike, thank you for reaching out. The part you have mentioned comes with four bearing slides, but the felt seal, part number PS12722961, comes separately. We hope that helps!
