I have a GE gas dryer......M# DPSR473GW1WW......when a load is put in and the dryer is started the tumbler ( part you put the clothes in ) vibrates so bad the whole machine moves. I have been online looking at parts and I believe there are several "buffers" that may be worn causing the tumbler unit to be loose. the following is the link for the parts. part No. 316 is the one I was looking into.


Hope someone can help!!!

If you fail to fix the glides soon then you will have to replace the whole bearing that holds those glides. It will get so bad the drum will eat into the front panel that causes the shaking. You need to open the door and remove the screws holding down the top. Get the top off and remove the screws inside the front so you can take the front panel off and inspect the glides and bearing assembly.
