If it is over five years I think it is best to go ahead and replace all five bearings. Also sometimes the blower wheel will become loose, this will cause kind of a roaring noise. Check that and if so tighten the screw on the clamp and it should be ok. These pages will help. GE Dryer Noisy Repair Guide GE Dryer Disassembly Guide
