The motor bearings and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) and idler bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) and idler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) and idler bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting.
