• Squealing or scraping noise during drum rotation
• Grinding or rumbling from the front of the dryer
• Drum sitting low or rubbing against the front panel
• Clothing becoming pinched at the drum opening
• Excessive drum movement or play at the front
• Drum failing to rotate smoothly when turned by hand

• Inspect all four drum-bearing slides for wear or cracking — worn slides are a common noise source even when the housing is intact
• Check the top-bearing felt or seal for damage
• Inspect front-panel mounting points for cracks or distortion
• Check the drum rim for scoring or damage
• Inspect the drive belt for wear, cracking or slipping
• Check the idler pulley for binding or noise
• Inspect the rear drum bearing or shaft
• Check the motor and blower for abnormal noise

1. Disconnect electrical power before removing the dryer front panel or servicing the drum-support system.
2. Photograph the bearing position, slide orientation and wiring before removal.
3. Compare the new assembly with the original before installation — confirm slide slots and mounting tabs match.
4. Seat the new bearing firmly and confirm all mounting points are secure.
5. Rotate the drum by hand several full turns before reassembling the front panel to confirm smooth, quiet movement.
6. Test the dryer and check for unusual sounds after reassembly.
