I don't know why but it needed a bit of modification

The sewing feet on top of the original upper drum support bearing I removed required excessive force to disengage. There is no way the tabs on the new one will then extend beyond the dryer frame brackets to hold the bearing in place. I had to slowly file the plastic until the clamps were behind the frame latches. They were still too low to hook the brackets, so I took a pair of parallel jaw pliers and bent the metal frame down to hook the sewing feet. Everything is fine in the world and it works like a champ. I checked out the felt and it didn't need to be replaced, so I didn't use the felt that came with it, nor the strap that I recently replaced when it broke. Although I didn't need all the parts, I bought this kit because it shipped faster and the price wasn't much different than if I had bought the parts I needed individually. The drum upper support bearing part number does not match the part number. required for my dryer model. My model number was: DBSR453EB3WW and the bearing part number was: WH03X20271 but the seller said it would fit my dryer model and it worked.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
