GE Dryer Bearing Repair Kit - WE49X20697

Quiet noisy dryer drum support with this genuine OEM GE Dryer Bearing Repair Kit - WE49X20697. This repair kit services the front drum bearing area on compatible GE top-load matching dryers so the drum can rotate smoothly.

WE49X20697 is a genuine GE dryer bearing repair kit used when the drum support slides, top bearing, felt, or belt are worn enough to cause squealing, scraping, or rough drum movement.

Compatibility: Works for GE top-load matching dryers made from 2002-2013 where the model diagram calls for WE49X20697; it is not for dryers paired with matching front-load washers.

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify the full dryer model number, dryer platform, production style, and whether the kit contents match your cabinet design. Also inspect the rear bearing, drum glides, belt path, idler, and drum felt before reassembly.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Squealing, scraping, thumping, brown/black marks on clothes, drum rubbing, or rough rotation when the drum is turned by hand.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Worn green/white bearing slides, damaged top bearing, torn front felt, flat spots, belt wear, or drum riding low in the front support.

Pro Tip: Replace all kit wear parts together and clean lint from the cabinet while the dryer is open. Reusing old slides with a new bearing can shorten the repair life.
