{"product_id":"we14m124","title":"GE Dryer Top Bearing with Felts (WE14M124)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GE Dryer Top Bearing with Felts supports the front of the dryer drum as it rotates during each cycle. It works alongside the drum support system to keep the drum centered and level, allowing it to spin smoothly without excess friction or wobble. The felt strips seal the gap between the drum and the dryer cabinet, helping to retain heat and prevent clothes from snagging on metal edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GE Dryer Top Bearing with Felts can wear out over time from constant heat exposure, friction, and the weight of heavy loads pressing on the bearing surface. The felt strips may fray, compress, or fall apart, while the bearing itself can crack or wear unevenly, leading to noise and reduced drum stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese symptoms can help you decide if the top bearing and felts match your problem:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Squealing, squeaking, or scraping noise when the dryer drum is turning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Thumping or rumbling that gets louder as the drum spins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Drum feels wobbly or unsteady when pushed by hand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Clothes come out with snag marks or small tears\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Visible wear, cracking, or fraying on the felt drum seal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Dryer runs hotter than normal due to reduced heat retention\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Burning or musty smell coming from inside the dryer cabinet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42517133131861,"sku":"WE14M124","price":73.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6189\/2437\/files\/ge-dryer-top-bearing-with-felts-we14m124.jpg?v=1779254126","url":"https:\/\/homepartsplus.com\/products\/we14m124","provider":"Home Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
