Johnny I Clinton , MO June 12, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer BJLR473ET0WW Ge Dryer Bjlr473et0ww: Won't start and making a squealing noise when trying to start. How to replace Rear Drum Support Bearing. After tearing into the dryer and cleaning out all the lint I ultimately determined the dryer motor needed to be replaced along with some other items. Why not replace some old, worn out parts while I had the dryer tore apart. Now it's running like a new dryer at half the price to repair compared to buying a new one. 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
