Whirlpool WPW10177428 Dryer support Roller

The Whirlpool WPW10177428 Dryer Support Roller is an essential component for keeping your dryer running smoothly. This is a wheel with an axle that supports the drum while it rotates throughout the drying process. The roller lets the drum rotate freely with minimal friction, resulting in quick clothing drying. Worn-out rollers can cause the drum to wobble or drag, resulting in longer drying periods, higher noise, and potential damage to the drum and dryer components. Replacing a faulty roller with the WPW10177428 allows the drum to run smoothly, reducing drying time and noise. This results in lower energy use and a calmer laundry experience. In addition, a properly maintained drum reduces wear and tear on the dryer's interior components, hence increasing its longevity.
