XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing
The XPARTCO WE25X205 is an aftermarket rear drum bearing kit made to replace the original in GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. Located at the back of the drum, the bearing keeps it turning smoothly and quietly while the belt drives it. Once it wears out, you may hear squealing, rumbling, or grinding as the drum turns, and a badly worn bearing can leave the drum sitting unevenly or scraping.
It is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE kit. GE's catalog shows WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and this listing covers both numbers. The drum must come out to reach the bearing, so it is also a convenient time to check the drum belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace any that look worn.
Quick Answer
Choose the XPARTCO WE25X205 Dryer Drum Bearing if your GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore dryer squeals, rumbles, or grinds when the drum turns. It replaces the rear drum bearing and is also listed under WE25M40. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or rumble that follows the drum and is there with or without heat.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Loud squealing or squeaking while the drum turns

Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeals when the drum turns. Is this the part I need?
A squeal that follows the drum usually points to a worn rear drum bearing, although a worn idler pulley or drum glides can produce a similar noise. If the drum feels rough or sounds like it is grinding when you spin it by hand, the bearing is a likely culprit.
What's the difference between WE25X205 and WE25M40?
GE's catalog lists WE25X205 as superseded to WE25M40, and retailers list them as interchangeable. This listing covers both numbers.
Should I replace the drum belt at the same time?
It's a good idea. The drum has to come out to reach the bearing, so this is the easiest time to inspect the belt, idler pulley, and drum glides and replace anything worn.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
