I have checked the drum and there is no back and forth play, but there is up and down play. Just wondering if it is only the front drum bearing that is worn or if there is another part that may be worn. Dryer dries clothes just fine, it is just the problem of clothes getting hung. Thanks

Thanks Jackpeg, This happens occasionally, is it possible you may be overloading the drum, does it seem the happen with certain types or sized loads ? Replacing the front drum slides would eliminate the dryer as the problem, Part number: AP631382 Part number: AP2041815 Based on your post, that should be all you need. Good Luck, :) :) :)

Since I will have the front apart to replace slides, I think that I will also replace the front bearing since the dryer is as old as it is. That should take care of any problems for a long time.
