GE Dryer noisey

by Thom
(Indiana)

Had a come and go rhythmic "wah wah", now there's a high RPM metal to metal sound that is coming from the front bottom left of the dryer.

It looks like the two center nylon glides are worn completely through. Do I just need to replace those or does the main drum bearing need replaced. It looks like the plastic the slides mount to are okay and not work through. Are these slides/glides the "bearings"?

Hi Thom,

I hardly ever open a GE dryer without replacing the main drum bearing. I recommend replacing it but you may get by without it.


Thank you,
