Richard for Model Number DRSR483ED2WW My GE dryer makes a loud grinding type of sound when started. Then during operation is will make the same loud grinding type sound. But on other occasions it seems to work just fine, with no out of the ordinary noises.
Answer Hi Richard. Quick check... Open the dryer door and then see if you can lift the very top of the drum and stick your finger inbetween the inside of the drum and the top of the inner drum glide. If you can you will need to replace this whole assy. The part # is WE3M26.Front Drum Bearing - Front drum bearing for GE made dryers. Glides are not included. For white glide use AP2041815. For green glide use ( No longer red ) use AP631382. 2 of each are required. You will also need the rear drum bearing assy. since they are the same age/worn out. This part # is WE25M40. Thank you.
