Replacing the WE3M26 GE Dryer Front Drum Bearing

If you need to replace the front drum bearing on your GE dryer, then here are simple instructions to help you do it yourself. This guide will help you get the job done safely and efficiently.

Safety First:

Before you begin the job, make sure you turn off the power supply to the dryer. If the dryer is plugged in, unplug it from the wall socket and make sure it cannot be accidentally turned back on during the repair work.

Step 1: Remove the Screws

To start, remove the screws that are holding the dryer's top panel in place. You should be able to see these screws when you lift open the top lid of the dryer.

Step 2: Disconnect the Wiring

Once the screws have been removed, carefully lift up the top panel and locate the wiring. Gently pull out any wiring connected to the dryer's rear. It is important to be careful here because some of the wires may be easily damaged.

Step 3: Remove the Drum

Using a spanner wrench, unscrew the two bolts that are securing the drum in place. After removing the bolts, carefully lift the drum from the dryer casing.

Step 4: Replace the Bearing

Once the drum is out, locate the we3m26 bearing and press it into the drum. Make sure it has been pushed firmly into place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Dryer

To reassemble the dryer, follow the above steps in reverse order. Place the drum back into the casing and secure it with the two bolts. Reconnect the wiring and replace the screws that secure the top panel.

Step 6: Test the Dryer

Once finished, plug the dryer back in and turn on the power supply. Give the dryer a few test runs to make sure everything is working properly.

Congratulations! You've successfully replaced the we3m26 bearing on your GE dryer.

Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
