I am having to replace top bearing and assembly. The site recommended replacing the 4 glides with it. When I removed the old parts did not see where glides went. Can you tell me where these parts go. After having to replace all these parts would have been better off replacing dryer. Just hoping can get parts on right and it works.

Normally there are two green and two white glides. The green go in slots and will be about at 11 and 1 o'clock on the bearing. The whites go below each green.

thanks for your reply. There were no glides on the bearing that we took out. we couldn't find a place where any bearings would go in the new part. Will it do damage to run dryer without these glides?

If you click on your model number you will see where they go on the front bearing. If there was nothing there they either worn away to nothing, or somebody removed them.

It will not hurt your dryer to run without them, but it may be a little noisier than it has to be, and it may cause you to have to replace the top bearing sooner than otherwise might take place.
