When the dryer is working, it will start sqeaking loudly, as if something is out of aline. I have sprayed WD-40 onto the center bearing on the back of the dryer, to no avail. The belt seems to be tracking true around the drum and the drum isn't wobbly. It starts off slightly sqeaking but gets louder as the drying continues.

Hi.

The noise you are describing is typical for the rear bearings or the front glides going bad. There is a small chance that the idler pulley is guilty one.
You need to take it apart and check.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric DDE5300BBL Electric dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com

The bearing kit Part number: WE25M40
Part number: WE25M40


The front slide kit Part number: WE25X60
Part number: WE25X60


The idler pulley Part number: WE12X81
Part number: WE12X81


Good luck. Post the results.

Simon.
