5303281153 (CMP) Dryer Drum Bearing Replaces DE724, AP2142648, PS459829, 5304459240

8 year old Frigidaire gas dryer started squeeling occasionally. Looked online and found numerous videos on the problem and how to address. It's either the felt sleeve or drum bearing. Had no idea of which, but took a guess and chose the bearing (which was correct). Followed the directions on an online video, was fairly easy. Actually took more time cleaning out the inside of the dryer than doing the repair (the vent return on the front of the dryer was loose, allowing debris to fly around inside the machine). I'm lucky the damn thing didn't start on fire. The only difficulty was threading the screws into the new drum. I got them in, but the heads were starting to strip a bit. Take your time on this task. The bearing and cup were severely worn. New part did the trick. I'd say this is an easy to moderately easy repair. I'm pretty handy, but attempted it figuring I'd just head out and buy a new one if it didn't work. Give it a try. The price is right.

Facil de instalar

Exactly what I needed for my dryer!! No more knocking noise and very easy to install. I'm a woman and it was easy enough for me to install it!

This part, a Google DIY video, and Voila! our 20-year-old dryer is good as new!

Original bearing was dried up and rusty, no wonder it was squealing! New bearing and socket installed quickly and easily with no trouble. I took the time to vacuum out all the dryer lint from the entire dryer while I had it open, and replaced the belt as well. Runs quietly and smoothly now, should be good for a long time. Much faster + easier than a new dryer or getting a repair person to come out, to say nothing of the cost.

Perfect fix.

Part was the exact same as the defective one Only had one issue with the install I found the heads of the screws were poorly machined and very easily stripped other than that I was completely satisfied with this product My dryer is running like new again
