My dryer, GE DDE5300VELWH Serial # TG2 57335G, has developed a squeak as it rotates. I have greased the bearing before and the squeak has disappeared for a while. There are metal filings collecting below the bearing at this point and I am thinking of replacing the bearing/bushing assembly... 2 things- Is this the correct kit for my dyer? Do I need any other parts to complete this repair?

Do the screws that attach the heat shield attach to this bearing. I removed the heat shield in order to clean a heavy build-up of lint which was causing a loud noise duing rotation. My huband put it back together as the the holes wouldn't line up right for me, and now it's screeching and almost smells like something is burning. Did I break my dryer? Can we fix this?

Sandi for Model Number ds4500eb2ww

Answer Hello Sandi. The bearing support attaches to the heat shield. You may need to replace the kit, if it is making a loud noise. Hope this helps.

This model has rollers for the drum ? Does the bearing support the drum?

Greg

Answer If your model takes this bearing kit, then you should not have any rollers on the unit. The bearing will support the rear of the drum. The front is supported by a front bearing that has glides, such as WE3M26.

We recently replaced the front bearing, slide guides and felt in the front of my dryer because of a squeaking noise as it turned. Now it is making a loud thumping noise and my husband thinks it may be the rear bearing. We don't see any cracks or other damage on the drum on the inside or from the front. I just want to be sure of what to replace before I put much more money into this appliance. Thanks.

Mpinyan for Model Number DHDVH52EF0WW

Answer Mpinyan, With the felt and slide glides just being replaced you will want to make sure that the drum is sitting properly in the cabinet. If it checks ok then the rear drum bearing WE25M40 is what you would want to replace.

My GE electric dryer still works fine, except it now emits a high-pitched squeak when the drum rotates. I'd like to repair the problem if I can, but I don't even know where to begin. Can you suggest a place for me to start and also explain how to open the dryer cabinet to get at the parts?

Bobby for Model Number DRSR483ED2WW

Answer Hello Bobby, There are a couple of things that can cause this. The front bearing slides WE3M26one of these, WE1M504 two of these, WE1M1067 and two of these, can be worn out and the heating element can rub against the back of the drum, or the ground spring that holds the ball in the back of the rear bearing assembly WE25M40 to properly ground the drum can be making the noise. The idler pulley WE12X83 should be checked while the unit is apart.

I think my dryer motor may be shot. Is there a way to tell? A guy was saying that the spindle in the center should turn freely. I don't know if this is true. We did find two 1/4 " size ball bearing in the bottom of the fan housing. He said they were from the motor? I just noticed that there is another part " rear drum bearing" not sure if they could be from this. We noticed the drum was hard to turn when we opened the top. The dryer just make a humming start noise but nothing inside moves.

Newbe for Model Number Sears Kenmore dryer model 96511110

Answer Hello Newbe, The motor has a bushing even though they are referred to as bearings. The ball bearings you found are not part of the unit so they must have been in a pocket or somehow got into the wash. There are two roller wheels 349241T in the rear and an idler pulley 691366 that the belt rides on. These should spin freely. If any of them will not turn or oppose rotation. There is also a "bearing" in the front of the drum which is actually a plastic glide 3394508. Let us know if you need further assistance.
