Felt the lower roller through the back, seems ok but can't tell if the bearing is bad. It's getting loud. Front seal seems a bit worn - small gap between the front seal and tumbler but it seems to track or roll on it OK. Rear seal seems OK. Haven't looked at the idler either. Don't have a service manual and can't find one. Thanks

Unless one of them is not turning at all. Check the seam on the drum where the rear rollers ride. Check for a loose paddle in the drum. Check the seals on the drum to be sure they are not snagging on anything when rotating Here are your parts Model LER5636EQ1
