Going bonkers in Central Illinois! blane Blane, You're right on target, you will most likely need the drum bearing kit, Part number: AP2619300
The other possibilities , something metal stuck to the front panel seal, drum glides. The idler pulley, usually creates a deeper rumbling type sound when it deteriorates, Depending on the condition of the drum slides, I would at least clean,lightly sand smooth the glide surfaces and dab a bit of silicone lube on the pads, or replace them. Good Luck, :) :) :)

Just to add my 2 cents... You also may want to check the front drum bearing and the slides (#313 & #316 on the diagram). - The front drum bearing Part number: AP3790641

Hello, I have a GE gas dryer that is squeeking. Will the 3 parts below work for my model and do you have any repair diagrams showing how to replace these items?

Gene,
I bought and just replaced the Drum Bearing and slides. Works great!! I still have questions if I placed the slides (2 green and 2 white) in the proper order, as mine were completely gone (except for the 1st white one on the right) and I can't find any instructions as to what order they go. Looking at the dryer, starting on the right (to left), I went white, green, white, green... Am I correct??
