Description

What is a drum shaft on a tumble dryer?

The drum shaft in a tumble dryer with a riveted drum runs through the centre of the drum and is securely attached to the dryer's chassis. It ensures proper alignment and stability of the drum while it spins and allows efficient drying of the clothes inside. 

It acts as the central axis around which the drum rotates and gives a reliable and durable mechanism for the dryer's operation.

When do you know your drum shaft is getting bad?

One common indication is excessive noise during the drying cycle, such as grinding, squeaking, or rattling sounds. This could suggest that the drum shaft is becoming worn or damaged, resulting in misalignment or poor rotation of the drum. 

Another sign is increased vibration or wobbling of the drum during operation. If you notice the drum wobbling excessively or showing uneven movement, it could be a sign of a failing drum shaft.

Easy to fit

My sons tumble dryer stopped working, found that the drum shaft was broken. Simple to drill out old rivets and replace with the new fitting. Part supplied was exactly what was required and came with new nuts and bolts. Excellent quick service, will use again.

Tumble dryer Shaft & bearing

Great Price and speed of delivery. Found it easier to drill out the old rivets from the back of the drum as there was a slight indentation which lined up lovely with the 5.5mm drill. Would highly recommend this company.

Saved buying new tumble dryer!

The part itself is outstanding. Dismantling tumble dryer isn’t difficult, but please please please be very methodical about taking apart so that putting it all back together is straight forward. Hotpoint seems to be built with two very similar sized screws - highly recommend marking inside tumble dryer with permanent marker which screw type was removed from each place! Whilst machine was apart, chose to also replace drive belt as it was cheap to buy. Hardest part of re-assembly was fitting drive belt back on drum & motor, so also suggest watching video for the ‘technique’.
