Drum Bearing Slide - Green (Sold individually) Specifications
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.

Great Instructions!
I had never taken my dryer apart before, but it had started sounding like a thunderstorm was happening in my basement every time I ran it and about every other time I used it, one article of clothing became wedged between the frame and the drum as it turned, which resulted in a series of very permanent wrinkles as well as some equally permanent black marks on the item (like a localized, unintentional tie-dye effect). I searched the internet for information on this issue and I found a YouTube video showing exactly how to disassemble the front of the dryer and replace the drum bearing slides. PartSelect had created the video and included a link to the parts I needed, so I ordered them. They arrived quickly and I was able to take the dryer apart to replace them, but when I did, I realized that the plastic piece that supported the slides had worn completely through. I put the new slides in to keep the dryer going temporarily while I ordered a replacement bearing support, and once I put that in, the dryer was working like new again (no more thunderstorm noises and no clothing sacrifices). I was very happy with the parts I got from PartSelect and also with their detailed, easy-to-follow instructions on YouTube. I would definitely buy from them again!

Very Easy Repair!
I replaced a drum bearing and drum bearing slides on my 20year old GE dryer. One of the drum slides had fallen apart and was sticking out from the broken bearing snagging and ruining clothes.
Watched the repair video removed the old drum bearing and put in all four suggested drum bearing slides in a minute.
The entire process took me 18 minutes! The part(s) worked great!

Dryer not drying well and loud noise
Took off the front panel. Followed the repair videos provided. Everything went well. Dryer dries better and is very quiet.
Gas dryer only fired at the beginning of it's cycle
Be sure to segregate and label all screws. Remove back and front of control panel. Removed dryer top. Removed dryer front/door panel. Replaced slides. Due to discoloration it was hard to tell the white fr the green. Double checked partselect videos to be sure which was which. Propped up drum with the dowel to allo

Used needle nose pliers to lift out old coils and to place new coils. Reversed process to reinstall all panels. Crossed fingers and tested. AOK.
Upon receiving the parts, we went to the video repair instructions. We found these videos to be very well done and very helpful. It was great being able to pause the video at specific points until we were able to complete that step of the repair. All of the replacement parts fit correctly and there were no issues.
dryer had started making a squeaking noise that got progressively worse with each use
i ordered parts before taking the dryer apart, based on the symptoms others described so that i would have everything i needed. sure enough once i pulled the panels off, the drum slides and entire bearing were destroyed. i assume that happened with age, and ignoring the problem didn't help. by the time i replaced the parts I'm surprised t

The PartSelect company's "how to" repair videos are OUTSTANDING. Thank you! The videos provided a comprehensive overview of what to expect in terms of clothes dryer disassembly, component replacement and reassembly. The videos were invaluable tutorials for prior-to-disassembly work.
I ordered all the following parts which I fel
... Read moret were likely excessively worn--white and green bearing slides (two of each required), rear drum bearing kit, drive belt, and idler pulley wheel--to address the noisiness issue.
For your consideration: Since our dryer is 12 years old and would be disassembled anyway, I decided to order a new dryer drum belt and idler pulley, to replace these two constant-use items as preventive maintenance.
Two notes. One: When replacing the dryer drum bearing parts, you need a T25 torx bit to loosen and remove the three torx-head screws. But using my T25 torx bit-head-style screwdriver, it was impossible to loosen them. Fortunately, I had a T25 torx bit, which I could mount in a socket wrench, which DID allow me to loosen those three torx-head screws without damage/breakage. WHEW! Recommend you are similarly prepared! Two: If you purchase the "Rear Drum Bearing Kit," it already comes with the the "Drum Bearing Sleeve" and "Retainer O-Ring" components I thought I would also need--no need to purchase separately. I returned those two items, unopened, for a refund.
All together, from dryer disassembly to, component replacement, to a thorough vacuuming/cleaning, to reassembly and an operational check, it took about four hours. The dryer is now nearly noiseless again! Success!
I consider myself reasonably good with tools and have a fair amount of electrical and mechanical skill. My wife assisted with extra hands a couple times, too, seriously reducing my frustration level. Depending on your abilities, you'll take more time or less time than the four hours it took me. I'm certain I saved at least a couple hundred dollars by doing this maintenance myself.
In summary, the PartSelect person taking my order was knowledgeable and professional, I received my parts two days after ordering, the parts worked perfectly, and the company refunded my two, unopened returned parts promptly. Overall, a terrific experience. I highly recommend them to any capable do-it-yourselfer.

I am a 55 year old woman who likes to repair household items. I followed You Tube instructions and did it all by myself. A few screws to get the top off and a two more to remove the front piece.

Luckily I have lots of old screws in my tool box, If you like to do small simple repairs to save some money this is an easy one.
I followed some simple instructions from GE. It was really easy and I even found some spare change inside the cabinet which my wife took off my hands. :/

Looking to replace the green and the white glides but forget which went where, can you give me rough positioning?
Hi Peter, you can position the white bearing slides at approximately 9 and 3 o’clock (across from each other). The green bearing slides can be placed at approximately 1 and 11 o’clock. I hope this helps you visualize it better!

how many of these do I need to order to replace the green drum slides and how many come in a package
Hi Rachel, the drum slides come in one per package, so you will need to order two of each. For the green drum slides you can order part number WE1M1067, and for the white you can order part number WE1M504. Although only your green drum slides need replacing at the moment, we strongly advise replacing both the green and the white (upper and lower) together for an even wear. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your inquiry. The green slides go on the inner most slots on the front bearing while the white glides go on the outer most sides of the front bearing. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

There is a squeaking noise coming from my dryer. The top two slides look like they’ve seen better days. What do I need to order to fix my dyer?
Hello Andrea, to fix the squeaking noise you will need two upper bearing slides found here (green) WE1M1067, and two lower bearing slides found here (white) WE1M504. We recommend replacing all of them at the same time for an even wear. Best of luck with this repair!

There are 4 drum bearing slides 2 white 2 Green can i replace them with either all Green or white??
For model number DVLR223EE2WW
Hello Paul, thank you for your question. No, unfortunately you would have to have 2 white and 2 green. They are a bit different and the manufacturer recommends ordering 2 of each. I hope this helps!

I need to replace the drum bearing slides on me GE dryer (2 Green and 2 white). The two installation videos show the Green ones go one lower or outside slots and the white ones go on the upper or inside slots. There are a couple of q&a's that say just the opposite. Which is correct?
For model number DWSR473EV1WW
Hello Denis, thank you for your question. It is recommended to follow the instructions in the videos that we have provided for both the white and green slides. Good luck with your repair!

I'm looking for a drum glide for my dryer Maytag I need a part # can you help me?
For model number Mde4658ayw
Hi Janina, see the link below. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
I had a service technician come look at my dryer because it was really loud. She replaced the two upper slides with dark ones (I can't say they're exactly Green, more kind of black ish). She didn't replace the white ones, and she said the larger plastic front drum bearing was no longer available anywhere, and I should plan on buying a new dryer soon. Funny thing, I'm looking at it on your website! Do I need to replace the slides that she installed, or can I take them off and put them onto a new bearing, along with a set of new white ones? Also, can I re use the felt pieces or can they be ordered? Thank you!
For model number pwsr483ga1ww
Hello Karen, Thank you for the question. The "Green" Slide, Part #: PS6447706 is more of a black in color. You would be able to reuse then on the New Front Tub Bearing, Part #: PS960316. We also recommend replacing the White Slides, Part #: PS755842. We hope this helps!
Hi Larry,
Thank you for your question. There is a video listed with the front bearing on our website that you can reference on how to install it. The dryer in the video may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. Here is a link to the part where you will find the video, https://www.partselect.com/PS960316-GE-WE3M26-Front-Drum-Bearing.htm?SourceCode=4&SearchTerm=DWSR483GB3CC&ModelNum=DWSR483GB3CC. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
