Dryer makes squeaky sound when running. Heavier the load, louder the squeak. AS the load dries and gets lighter, squeak sound lessens

Has been squeaking for a while.


Just recently started making a horrible rumbling noise when running while empty.

I think it's around 6-8 years old. Is there any way to check that?


Also, on occasion, small articles ( rags, bras, waistband drawstrings ) get caught on the inside panel near the light and it makes a noise as if the drum is having trouble turning or is restricted somehow. That's the best way I can think of to describe it right now.

Thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas!

Had a similar problem with one...can't recall whether GE or Whirlpool, but the drum rolls on rubber wheels with bronze bushings. The bushings are oilite and kinda dried out. While I put in new "wheels", I wish I'd just lubed the bushings & shafts with something good, like a light silicon grease. It wasn't difficult, but it was probably 25 years ago, so I don't remember anything about how to do it.

GE dryers like to wear out their front glides, then start eating away at the plastic support.

Parts 313 and 316 Note... there are 2 kinds of slides (316) not sure which kind your dryer takes.

You might need the rear bearing too.
