The white drum glide bearing is okay, but I expected better durability. It's functional but not exceptional.

Drum Glide Bearing - White WE3M51
Manufacturer part number: WE3M51
From $5.48
The part associated with the code WE3M51 is the dryer drum bearing, a critical component that supports the dryer drum's rotation inside the appliance. The drum bearing is typically made of durable material such as plastic or metal and is located at the center of the dryer drum's rear panel. It allows the drum to spin smoothly and with minimal friction during drying cycles. Over time, continuous use can wear down the drum bearing, leading to squeaking or grinding noises during operation. A faulty or worn-out drum bearing can also cause the dryer to vibrate excessively or fail to rotate properly. Regular inspection and maintenance of the dryer drum bearing are essential to ensure efficient and quiet operation of the appliance.
