Oh....I hope someone can help me!!
My dryer has been making awful noises.....like it's tumbling rocks.

So far, I have replaced the following:
Rear Drum Bearing
Lower Front Felt Drum Seal
Idler Pulley Wheel (which was broken)
Drive Belt (also broken)
Front Drum Bearing & all 4 slides

After all that it still makes tumbling rock noise.

BUT.......I have just learned that I may need to use a circlip on the rear bearing. When I originally took the drum out, I found that little circlip on the floor of the dryer ..... had no idea what it was. But now I'm wondering where it goes on the rear bearing.......do I need it? Could that piece missing be causing the awful noise?

If I need to use it....how do I install it? I don't know where it goes.........
