Whirlpool WP40113601 Drum Roller Bracket Assembly for Dryer

The Whirlpool WP40113601 Dryer Drum Roller Bracket Assembly is a component that supports the dryer drum's rotation. It consists of a metal bracket with an axle shaft that secures one of the drum's rollers. This roller maintains contact with the drum belt, allowing the drum to rotate as the belt moves around the drive motor pulley. Proper drum rotation is necessary for effective drying of clothes. The rollers facilitate smooth travel of the drum within the dryer cabinet, which helps to reduce wear and stress on other parts. If the bracket or axle is damaged or worn, it may result in the roller wobbling or seizing, leading to grinding noises, uneven drying, and extended drying times.
