Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Squealing dryer Jai P. • Rio Rancho , NM • January 08, 2021

The wobbling from the rear bearing failure caused accelerated wear on the slide bearings. Without the money to fix it I ran it as it was. Another bad idea. The drum not only chewed through the slide bearings, but eventually the assembly as well. I replaced the whole assembly and rear bearing at one time a couple days ago. It was... Read more
