Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Rear Drum Teardrop Bearing921231

What is a rear drum bearing in tumble dryers?

The rear drum bearing holds the drum in place and enables smooth rotation. You can see it at the rear of the dryer drum and is made out of a little metal or plastic housing that contains a bearing.

How do I know if my rear bearings are bad?

Unusual noises like squeaking, grinding, or rumbling sounds that persist or get worse over time. Friction or misalignment are symptoms of faulty rear drum bearings in tumble dryers. 

Increased friction between the drum and the bearing housing leads in excessive heat generation and a burning smell. 

The drum may also feel rough or dragging when rotated manually due to the bearings' impaired ability to produce smooth movement.
