The dryer works, however, there's a squeaking as the drum turns, which lessens as the clothes get dry. Do you think it's the belt causing it?
Sqeaky Noise in Dryer for Model Number FDE7970EW1
Answer Hello. No, you will need to check and see if the rear bearing 5303281153 is bad in the unit and the front felt glides 5303937139. Hope this helps.
Is the belt also responsible for the balanceing of the dryer drum? Mine is dropping down in the back and makes a squeak as it is not running smothly on the felt .

Answer Hello Les. No, the drum is supported by the rear bearing kit 5303281153 and the front felt glide 5303937139. If it has dropped, you will need to replace both parts. Hope this helps.
