No instructions
This kit came with everything but the instructions. My support bracket (the crescent moon piece) was not worn so I reused mine. If you can take the dryer apart and put it back together, you can figure out this kit

had problems listed below
I have fixed a few dryers, ours is a GE and was squeaking,, so off came the front where the nylon rubs were gone and plastic housing broken, since you can buy a new one, must be common, two people using it 11 years old,, anyhow, new plastic was just a tiny bit different and took a bit to snap in the two top pieces,, I think shaving a few thousands off would have been better, we also had a light which must have burned out long ago, so you have to remove the plastic piece in the housing to use one,, the gasket material went in fine, was about 6 inches long U tube shows how to install if you get into trouble,, the main place I ran into trouble was trying to put the belt on, laid dryer on back and reached in two places, again if you need help Utube,, anyhow, if the belt was 1/2 or 1 inch longer I would not have struggled so long, maybe 10-15 minutes, to pull tension roller down enough to get the belt on,, i think i bent that arm a bit, but I am sure it will stretch first heat,, so probably okay,, removal of top, was two screw inside door, then pop the top, being careful to not break plastic tabs, or you can remove the cluster, which mine were broken off by a company that moved it and lifted it with the plastic housing ( controls ) so then there is two inside, one on each side and front pulls off, the plastic took alittle bit to make sure it went on like it was supposed to.. all in all great fix for 30 bucks instead of a 500 dollar dryer, be careful not to damage the heaters in back,, and we vacuumed the dryer very well, ,, which I do alot anyhow, with a special hose bought from amazon, it has a cone fits on your vacuum,, well worth that money also..

Easy to fix your clunky dryer if you watch the YouTube on how to put the drum belt back on
Seems to be decent quality. Watch a YouTube video or two and with a Philips screwdriver I bet almost anybody can do this job. WARNING - the first few times you start your dryer up it may make some spooky noises; I think it's the new 1/2 wide by 2-1/2 long plastic slides wearing in. I just ran it without clothes for 1/2 hour at each temperature and the noises went away. Now after 2 weeks its silent, like a new dryer and I saved a ton of money. Watch a few of the YouTube video's some dont have the detail on putting on the drum belt, that was to me the only hard part of this job. Good Luck!!

Poor knock off
An update after 4 days of use: My genuine parts arrived today and were installed. I was expectedly disappointed when I saw the state of this product before it was swapped out:Felt trim was so elastic that it stretched and created a loop outside of the channel (see pic)One of the supposedly "WE1M1067" pads had worn out completely and was about to break - it is made from the same material as "WE1M504" supplied. One of the WE1M504 also shows significant wear (see pic)This is a waste of money and I will be demanding a refund.Genuine parts installed much easier and looked exactly like the originals.Sliding pads are not of the same material as genuine GE. Plastic needed to be trimmed on the back to allow it to click in into upper edge of the front frame, Poor retention of the slide pads, expect them to fall off soon, Jut ordered the OEM version to swap out immediately

My First DIY Dryer Repair
I used this to repair the squealing noise that I have confirmed to be the drum rubbing and eating into the plastic shroud with the slide completely eaten out. I saw a repair of this once in the past but wasn't confident enough in opening and closing it back up after replacing it. So, I left the squealing go on until the plastic is all eaten out.I then found a youtube video online on how easy it was to open and replace GE gas dryer and I brave myself into getting a replacement shroud to repair it myself. Normally, a repair like this will cost us around $150. Getting a $30 part is definitely a steal if I can get it to work. It's a risk that the part doesn't match or if there are complications but $30 is an acceptable risk for a learning experience.It took two days to arrive and I manage to repair it with some difficulty in getting the lid to close. I ended up not needing to use the belt but I feel that the parts of the shroud, slides, and felt would have cost much more than if I bought them separately. I don't believe this is a genuine GE parts but it fits just fine.The squealing noise is gone and my mom is happy with the result and paid me $100 for the repair.

Everything you were likely to need.
This kit has everything you were likely going to need to fix a squeaky dryer drum. And it was an awesome deal compared to when I was looking at these parts individually. The dryer is working like new again :-)
