How to Repair the Bearings on a GE Adora Dryer

The Adora line of automatic dryers by GE are front-loading models that come in both gas and electric varieties. The bearings inside the dryer cabinet support the tumbler drum to keep it correctly positioned and balanced while it is rotating. If the bearings get damaged or broken, the drum may not rotate properly. One possible sign of faulty bearings is a high-pitched noise when the drum is spinning. Replace the broken bearings with new ones to repair your GE Adora dryer.
