The General Electric WE03X23956 Dryer Bearing Top Slides are designed to help the drum to glide smoothly across the drum without creating much friction hence making the dryer function properly. These are high quality replacement slides that help in supporting the front of the dryer drum so that it can rotate without any hindrance. They are used to reduce damage as they provide low friction between the drum and the bearing to reduce the amount of force encountered. These top slides are easy to install and are long lasting, which reduces the noise produced.
Step 1: Your dryer should be disconnected from the electrical outlet and any garments or items present in the drum should be taken out.
Step 2: A ladder should be set up to access the top of the dryer and the screws securing the front panel should be taken out.
Step 3: The front panel should be gently lowered and the bearing top slides should be identified (these should be situated on both sides of the dryer drum).
Step 4: With a Phillips-head screwdriver, the screws that secure the old slides should be taken out.
Step 5: The bearing slides should be detached from the motor pulley and the tub support bracket.
Step 6: The new WE03X23956 GE Dryer Bearing Top Slides should be placed, making sure the holes align correctly.
Step 7: The bearing slides should be reattached to the motor pulley and the tub support bracket.
Step 8: All screws should be securely tightened.
Step 9: The dryer should be reconstructed and it should be reconnected to the electrical outlet.
Step 10: The dryer should be operated to verify that the new slides are working correctly.
