I have a super large capacity GE dryer that is making ear piercing screeching noises mostly at the beginning and the end of the cycle. It is taking a bit longer to dry the clothes, but they still dry. What part should I replace?
Thanks in advance for any and all help. My dogs will really thank you; they are going nuts when I dry clothes! ~

This part is the most common noise issue on this style dryer. Does the noise seem to be comming from the back of the machine ? It's an easy repair, but it is an involved repair. but doable. :cool: :cool: :cool:

yes it does. I started to take off the back, but I removed 4 screws that had nothing to do with the back. I take it I have to remove the hex screws? I have never repaired anything like this before, but I am mechanically inclined and want to save $$$$. If I buy the repair manual will it walk me thru the process???

Fawn eyes, You're at the wrong end... You have to access that bearing from the front, that's why I said it was involved. Yes the service manual will walk you through the teardown procedure and repair/ replacement of the part. It'll come in handy in the future, if anything else goes wrong. And we can always answer any question you'd have. Good Luck, :cool: :cool: :cool:
