I took it apart and inspected the problem.... I found the blower blade was flopping the lock clamp was broken in half.... and the drive belt was cracked and about to break. I ordered all the parts from appliance parts pros and went for the speedy shipping.... The parts were supposed to arrive Weds. but did not get here until Thursday. I cleaned and inspected the whole dryer and put it all back together in about 2 hours.... I found I could see things better with the rear access removed and also found taping the belt to the drum I could put it back together by myself. All the parts were genuine GE and even with the s/h came out cheaper than buying locally. I did try to buy locally but the dealer did not have all the parts and estimated it would take a week to get them. I was able to order all 3 parts and got them a day late but in only 2 days time. The Dryer is purring nicely and the wife is happy once again.
