🔧 Efficient GE WE49X20697 OEM Bearing Repair Kit for Top-Load Dryers Review

I dreamed of a noisy dryer. I called the shop, they said it wasn't worth repairing and most likely the bearing had deteriorated. He recommended that we just use it until it died and replace the dryer. Stupid! What he didn't say was that with this kit we could replace the bearing by just removing 4 bolts in about 20 minutes. Dryer works like new. No noise under high loads.

I purchased this item to help eliminate noise from my GE dryer. This is a really easy item to replace. Unplug the dryer and have the following tools ready: Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, a set of torx sockets. Remove the five torx fasteners at the top of the control panel, open the dryer door and remove the two Phillips head screws holding the top of the dryer, lift the top of the dryer, tilt the front of the dryer and the door outward, pull out the old plastic splint. remove and install…

My GE dryer was squeaking so loud. I surfed the web trying to figure out what could be causing the problem and found that simply replacing the airframes (as well as the front plastic bracket) was an easy fix. After approx. 1/2 hour operation SILENT DRYER! It was simple and straightforward and better than paying a few hundred for a support call or spending over $600 on a new dryer. It also comes with a drive belt. Can replace this too as you have a dryer separately. Don't forget to remove the…

My drum bearings were metal to metal. I installed a kit that also includes a new belt and door seal and nothing seemed to have happened. No more squeaking and rattling. If you have enough hands, the installation is not that difficult. There are good guides on the GE website and 3rd party YouTubers. A repair by such a mechanic would cost over $300. Individual parts from the parts store would cost me 3x more than the kit. If you or someone you know can install it, it's definitely not a problem.

Ordered Friday, received Sunday evening. Installed, works great. I believe the parts were original GE kit. I needed a quick fix for my dryer and this hose kit was just what I needed. I had a bad squeaky dryer (very noisy), the bearings were busted, the front frame was starting to crack, my belt was ready to go too, and I figured I'd just replace the felt part while I'm at it. All these details fit perfectly. I took the drum out completely and cleaned the inside of the dryer with a vacuum…

I have been using a GE dehumidifier for about 18 years and have never had a problem with it. Lately things have accidentally got stuck at the top of the drum, socks, underwear, hoodie drawstrings. Then it started sounding like it was full of squeaky bats while it was running. I thought maybe it was him, he was good, but I did a little research and settled on this kit. My dryer model is DRSR483ED2WW. It was easy to swap out parts. My dryer is against the wall on one side and the washing machine…
