The top bearing assembly is located on the back
side of the front panel and utilizes four bearing
slides. Two white outer slides are used as
guides, and two dark-color center (top) slides are
used to support the weight of the drum. When
replacing the slides, the dark-colored support
slides must be used to replace the top support
slides. Guide slides may also be replaced with
support slides.
Caution: Do not replace the center (top) support
slides with the white guide slides. Damage to the
dryer will result.
