I was able to adjust the drum to stop the squeak, but what could the problem be in the dryer? I plan to open up the dryer to clean it out and check for anything stuck in the support structure, but the problem could require repairmen parts. Thanks.

[COLOR="Blue"]but what could the problem be in the dryer?[/COLOR] I cannot say as it could be any of the moving parts in the unit. The most common problem with this unit is them re3ar support bearing. Sometimes it just has to be cleaned and re-lubed with high temperature grease. Sometime the parts are worn and have to be replaced and then lubed.

My question is the applying of the high temperature grease. Where does the grease actually go with a few parts in the kit being plastic?
