There are two screws holding the top to the front panel.Remove those screws and lift the top. Next take out screws holding the front and remove it too. The squealing noise most likely is coming from the rear drum bearing Part number: WE25M40 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Drum parts for GE DX4500EA3WW - AppliancePartsPros.com Post the results.

The problem turned out to be 3 of the 4 slides were worn out and the support that holds them was damaged. I replaced all of them and the noise went away. Thanks again for the advice. John nut
