Whirlpool 279264 Dryer Rear Drum Bearing & Seal Kit

Restore smooth, quiet drum rotation and maintain proper heat retention for efficient drying performance.

The Whirlpool 279264 Kit is essential for supporting the rear of your dryer drum and ensuring it spins smoothly without excess friction or noise. Over time, worn bearings and damaged seals can lead to loud grinding sounds, heat loss, and even damage to your drum or motor. Replacing this kit restores proper alignment, reduces wear, and keeps heated air contained for optimal drying results. Installation requires accessing the drum, so be sure to clean off old adhesive thoroughly and allow proper drying time when installing the new seal for a secure, long-lasting fit.
