I find that lubericating only buys a little time. Not long before replacing it anyway

Pull the dryer from the wall. In the center of the rear panel you'll find a rectangle metal cover holding by two 5/16" screws. Behind this cover is the rear drum bearing. Put a few drops of a machine oil inside the bearing and it should stop the noise.
Good luck.
Gene.

My GE (electric) dryer makes a high pitched squeaking sound about 1 time per second. It sounds like it is coming from a place near the back of the dryer, and I believe I need to replace the rear drum bearings.

Am I on the right track? My other problem is that I am not sure how to access the rear drum. Do I need to remove the 3 hex nuts inside the drum, to release it from the bearings?

Any suggestions would be welcome.
