Whirlpool 12002126 Dryer Reinforcement Brace

The Whirlpool 12002126 Dryer Reinforcement Brace, also consistently referred to as a dryer glide kit, is a crucial component that allows for the smooth operation and longevity of your Whirlpool dryer. This brace serves as a support system for the dryer drum, minimizing wear and tear on the drum and its surrounding components.Consider the dryer drum constantly revolving during the drying cycle. Without the reinforcing brace, this rotation may cause friction between the drum and the dryer chassis. Eventually, this friction can wear down the glides or rollers that support the drum, resulting in loudness, uneven drying, and potential drum damage.The reinforcing brace effectively reduces friction by providing a stable and secure basis for the drum to rotate.
