XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing

The XPARTCO WE25X205 is an aftermarket replacement rear drum bearing kit for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The rear drum bearing supports the back of the drum and lets it turn smoothly and quietly as the belt drives it. When the bearing wears out, the drum starts to squeal, rumble, or grind while it turns, and a badly worn bearing can let the drum sit unevenly or scrape.

This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE kit. GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and this listing covers both numbers. Because the drum has to come out to reach the bearing, it is a good time to inspect the drum belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace any that look worn.

Quick Answer

The XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer that squeals, rumbles, or grinds when the drum turns. It replaces the rear drum bearing and is also listed under WE25M40. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or rumble that follows the drum and is there with or without heat.

Common Problems This Part Fixes

  • Loud squealing or squeaking while the drum turns
  • Rumbling or grinding noise from the back of the dryer
  • Drum that wobbles, drags, or doesn't turn smoothly
  • Excess vibration during a cycle
  • Noise that continues even when the dryer is running without heat

Installation Notes

⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. Remove the top and front panel as shown in your model's service guide, then lift the drum belt off and slide the drum out, which is easier with a second person. Remove the old rear bearing from the back panel, install the new one in the same position, and reassemble in reverse order. Check the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides while the drum is out and replace any that are worn. Plan on about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

My dryer squeals when the drum turns. Is this the part I need?

A squeal that follows the drum is most often a worn rear drum bearing, though a worn idler pulley or drum glides can make similar noise. If you can spin the drum by hand and feel roughness or hear grinding, the bearing is a likely cause.

What's the difference between WE25X205 and WE25M40?

GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and retailers list them as interchangeable. This listing covers both numbers.

Should I replace the drum belt at the same time?

It's a good idea. The drum has to come out to reach the bearing, so this is the easiest time to inspect the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace anything worn.

Will this fit my dryer?

It is listed for many GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
