Dryer in this combo unit is squeaking, also clothes are getting in between the drum and front panel and making holes in garments. They generally get caught up on top of the drum where it connects to front panel. Is this a felt or glide issue? Really appreciate any thoughts.

ANSWER Hello Ray, it is likely the upper felt seal 5303937182 and the lower felt seal 5303937183 need replacing. Other parts to consider are the drum glide 137513300 and the drum bearing 131825900 which is also available in a drum bearing kit 5303281153. While you're in there, it's probably a good idea to replace all of these parts since they are not that expensive. It may save you from having to go back in a second time. Hope this helps!
