My dryer still works fine other than a loud squealing while running.
Took it apart and the front glides are bad, but if turn the drum by hand still squeals, so assume the rollers need replaced. Anything else I should be looking at. It's been a good dryer hate to buy new if can be fixed at resonable price. Thank You in advance.

Not sure what you are doing.
Unless you replaced the glides it still would squeal.
Open it up again and check the following make sure you reassembled it OK, check for any metal on metal rubbing, motor bearings, idler wheel and raer support bearings,drum seals, the blower assembly to make sure nothing has dropped into it.

The only expensive repair would be if the motor bearings are shot as you have to replace the motor.
Also check it for the following off center problem.

Thank you. I still had it apart when I was turning by hand. Took the drum out and one of the rear support rollers turned easy other you could barely turn. Have ordered the new parts, so will keep my fingers crossed.
Thank you very much.
