Kenmore Dryer Drum 134138400

Watch out for shipping

My drum arrived yesterday so I have not been able to get it put in yet. Beware of the shipping cost! I didn't realize it till afterwards that the shipping was $200! The parts that I ordered were only $215. I talked to an appliance repair man and he said that was crazy. I understand that the drum was a large item but it took over a week to get here. I will probably not order from this site anymore and I will tell my followers to find somewhere else to order.

Replaced Dryer Drum

The drum is good quality, but had a small dent when I received it. Fortunately, the dent was on the side and not on the glide surface allowing it to still be used. The glide surface itself is different than the original which had enamel for the felt to slide on. This new drum has Teflon inserts around the inner surface of the drum opening that adds thickness to the sliding surfaces' requiring thinner felt to be used. Not knowing any of this, I bought the Felt and Glide Kit (5303937139, $33.60), glued it on, discovered it was too thick, tore it off, re-cleaned the felt adhering surfaces, and installed the felt that came with the drum. I saw the felt in the picture, but the description didn't mention that it was included. So, I blew $33.60. Otherwise, it seems to be working; I just hope the Teflon holds up well.
