Drum Glide Kit
These sacrificial plastic components support the weight of the drum at the front. As they wear thin due to thousands of rotations, the drum flange begins to rub directly against the plastic or metal support frame, creating a high-pitched squeaking or scraping sound. Replacing the glides restores the low-friction interface required for silent drum rotation.

Idler Pulley Assembly
The idler pulley maintains constant tension on the drive belt and contains a high-speed internal bearing. Over time, heat and lint contamination cause the internal lubricant to fail, leading to metal-on-metal friction and a constant, high-pitched squealing sound during the operation of the motor.

Rear Drum Roller Kit
Whirlpool dryers use two rear rollers to support the drum's weight. When the internal bushings of these rollers wear or become flat-spotted from disuse, they create a rhythmic squeaking or thumping sound as the drum rotates. The kit includes both rollers and the necessary tri-rings to secure the assembly.
