Problem for GE DBSR453EBWW / DBSR453EBCC Electric Dryer

My dryer catches a piece of clothes in the drum




By marishie0520 on Jun 29, 2009

My dryer catches a piece of clothes in the drum edge and has ruined quite a few clothes, leaving them with black-brown marks. When I look at the drum seating using a mirror I can see that it's not centered. How do I fix that.

Hello Friend, This problem is real common in GE dryers. Your solution is simple. You need to replace the front drum bearing and glider pads. It's actually pretty simple to do. Just remove front of dryer cabinet. After removal just look at backside of dryer front around the inner door. You will see where the dryer drum has turned and wore a hole in the plastic piece above the dryer door. This piece is called the front drum bearing. Just unsnap this piece and snap in a new one. Be sure to replace the little plastic glide pads onto the top of the drum bearing before re-installing the dryer cabinet front. The front drum bearing and glider pads are sold seperately so make sure you have everything you need before you begin. This should solve your problem. Happy to help, Tim. Thanks.
