Mark Q. for Model Number dbsr453ebww My dryer makes noise when I start the drying cycle. It isn't a grinding noise but more like a constant rubbing sound. A repairman looked at it and told me that it needed a front gasket. I did not have him fix it since he/they did such a poor job on my icemaker. Anyway, is this a reasonable diagnosis of my problem or is there something else it could be? The dryer works fine other than the noise.
