Product review (5 stars): Kit is a good value
Our dryer was leaving brown streaks on our clothes. I found it was coming out of the gap where the drum meets the white plastic inside the door. I shoved a folded paper towel into the gap at the 3 o'clock position and could rotate it around with the drum and clean the dirt from the slides inside without taking the dryer apart. This is only a temporary fix until you can get new parts. Opened the dryer top cover and the slides were pretty worn after 4 years. This kit provides everything I needed for less than the seperate parts cost. I wasn't sure I would need the big white plastic piece referred to as the top bearing. I did end up replacing it because the 4 slides wear and produce a lot of dirt/grime that coats the plastic around them on this part. Easier to replace than clean. The cost of the 4 seperate slides and a new felt at most appliance part stores online was a couple bucks more than this whole kit- once $8-$10 shipping was included. So, a good value here. There is a kit here on Amazon that just has the 4 slides and the top bearing piece, if your felt and belt are in good shape. Saves a few bucks. I did not need the belt (yet), but have it if mine breaks. My felt was pretty worn and would not stay in the channel properly. Instruction were good except for the following detail; Make sure to push the felt in completely when replacing. It will go in flat as opposed to on edge and bottom out at about a 45 degree angle. 25- 30 minute job.
