Whirlpool 279441 Bearing Ring for Dryer

For this part simply buy the OEM part. The other offerings that come up for your model number from non-OEM are junk and do not snap in and hold in place. I bought another item said to be the same and although everything lined up, the radius was so bad that it would not hold in place and the pegs/tabs that were supposed to hold it did not even snap into place to have any chance of correcting the radius/bend in the part. This one is now happily spinning around and the other one in the trash and the money lost.

Good replacement product, easy to install, and pretty simple overall. The main reason for the review is to provide positive feedback for the company and staff. I received the package and prepared for install only to find that there was only one half of the complete ring in the package, when two pieces are required to complete the replacement and the product was supposed to include both pieces. I messaged the company through Amazon, on a Saturday, while thinking it would be Monday before a response could be expected. They responded on Saturday and we corresponded to discuss the issue. They shipped a replacement within a couple of days and I had the part to complete the repair. Overall, very pleased with not only the product, but the responsiveness and customer service to resolve the order. Thank you.

Great OEM part! This front bearing is an exact fit on the Kenmore dryer model 110.87873100.

The design of the interior face has pockets, now, instead of being smooth. Function seems normal.

Perfect fit for my dryer and looks like it should last as long as the original set. I replaced this and the rear seal at the same time and that definitly solved my problem. The problem I had was with brown marks showing up on some of the landrey. It looked like someone scorched a crease in them with rusty a hot iron. Once I opened up the dryer it was easy to see that the landrey was getting caught up in the gap at the rear of the dryer because the front bearing and rear seal were both worn out. The front Bearing was very easy to replace. The rear seal took a little more work. I had a hard time removing the old glue until I found someone that recommended using sandpaper. You should definitly use sandpaper to remove the old glue. Whirlpool 279441 Bearing Ring for Dryer

I used the ring on a Kenmore 11087873100 and it fit perfectly. It snaps in easily, start with center and work outwards.

Great deal, easy to work with and saved some big bucks. They snapped in the dryer door frame with ease, completed the install in 5 min.

Easy clip off and on.

Probably would have been good, but only got half of it.
