Whenever I turn my dryer on it starts to make a loud squeeling sound and last until I turn my dryer off. The drum turns fine, the heat is fine. What can I look for in repairing this horrible noice?

Hi Mathew

I cannot get your model to come up, but your noise is likely from the drum.

Take off the top and try to turn the drum manually to hear where the noise is coming from. It is likely from the back where the drum is supported.

yes, I already took the top off and did spin the drum manually and the noise is coming from the back. This is where I get stuck, I don't know what to check or replace after that..thanks

Hi Mathew

Ok, glad you have the area of the noise.

I cannot get anything to come up on your model, so I am going to have to give you some general advice.

You need to take out the drum and change out the rear support, which are probably rollers of some type or the tensioner if that turn out to be the problem. To do this you need to release the belt, which can be done by releasing tension on the tensioner. You may be able to access this from the front, but more likely there is a service panel in the back which will come off to get to it.

Take off the front and then you should be able to remove the drum and see the parts that need to be replaced.

Good luck, let us know what you find.
