This is an upper drum glide kit designed for various dryer models. The kit includes adhesive glue, drum felt, and three nylon bearing glides. Please note that this upper drum glide kit is sold as a standalone product and does not include the lower attachment required for reducing noise and stabilizing the inner drum. Drum glides are essential components that enable the drum to rotate smoothly and quietly. When these glides wear out and become thin, they can cause the dryer to become noisy and create excessive movement, potentially damaging other parts. If you observe banging, scraping, or excessive vibrating from your dryer, inspect the glides for signs of wear and tear. If they are worn out, immediate replacement is necessary. To replace the drum felt and glides, you will need a screwdriver, wrench, and putty knife. Start by disconnecting your dryer from the wall outlet. Then, use the appropriate tools to remove the front panel of your dryer and its wire harnesses, allowing you access to the old felt. Utilize a putty knife to scrape off the old drum felt and excess adhesive. Afterward, apply the new adhesive and firmly attach the new felt pad. Reassemble your dryer, ensuring all wire connections are securely reconnected, and your dryer is properly secured.

I ordered and quickly received the exact parts from E-REPLACEMENT (thank you).
I have some mechanical ability, but was pretty intimated at first. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went at it.
P.S. I also replaced the rear bearing while the dryer was apart.
Now all's well- HAPPY WIFE- HAPPY LIFE

From there I took apart my dryer to inspect which elements were broken or worn.
Read drum bearing was worn out and broken, upper drum glide was worn, sealbasket lower was replaced to have all new seals. I also ordered a dryer belt since the original was a little cracked.
Looked online for parts to my dryer and ordered them. About a week later I received them and replaced the parts.
Replacing the parts was fairly easy with the help of youtube. I also cleaned the interior and inspected any other components in my dryer. Heater coil had come off one of the ceramic holders. Duct seal was not properly sitting which caused leaking of lint inside dryer.
I let the dryer sit for couple days before any loads were ran through it, to make sure glue had dried properly.
It is now running better than before, and no more hole on clothing.
