Dryer was eating clothes at the front. They were getting torn with black marks on them.
I am a female with little repair experience. I looked up model number on my dryer, Googled my proble, and fond your site. I used your "my dryer is doing this..." link. Ordered parts and completed job all by myself. The video was amazing! My husband was so excited that we didn't need to spend $400 on a new dryer (only $43)! I will use you again for other appliance issues. Great site with great information.

Dryer belt broken
Great service. I got the part in 3 days and having the youtube video was fantastic. I also was able to find other videos also so doing these tasks yourself nowadays is much easier. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be easy.

Dryer was making a loud squeaky sound that would wake up the dead
I went on the internet and googled "how to fix a squeaking dryer"..There were numerous YouTube videos that addressed this problem...As the sound appeared to be coming from the front of the dryer, I assumed it was the front bearing surface that was the problem.. Found your site on line and selected my make and model and found the parts listed..A window which suggested other parts I might need was there so I ordered the felt for the bottom bearing surface ( this wasnt mentioned in the video I watched) Lucky I did as the old felt was pretty much destroyed..A well spent $7..All in all about 45 min to fix..works like a champ.. I received the parts in a very timely manner, packaged well..Thank you. Probably saved me $100 or more..Thanks

Dryer making a high pitched screeching noise
I unscrewed the front and top of the dryer. Removing the original front drum bearing was fairly easy, and just needed a gentle pull. The drum bearing slide was easily inserted in to the front drum bearing. Then the front drum bearing just needed to be inserted where the old one was removed. I did need some help from my husband to lift the dryer drum in order to close the dryer back up, but other than that, it was very simple.

Loud squeak when running loaded.
Studied the symptoms online. Disassembled the unit and found the drum slides worn out. Ordered them and a new belt. Installation videos on Parts select web site were helpful. The dryer runs quiet now. I need a front bearing unit, but the slides are working ok for right now.

Screeching noise when drum went around
To get to where the drum slides go you have to first remove the dryer top. Then you have to remove the two screws that hold the dryer front/door. Found inside the dryer about an inch down on both sides. Be careful because it will fall off. Lower carefully as there is an electric hook-up on the bottom of the door. On the door top are the brackets that the slides slip into. My dryer has 4 slides. Sold individually for some reason. You are done except for re-assembly. Slip dryer drum back on door, press the front until you hear it click back together. Put screws back in and top back on. You are done and no more screeching!

Loud screeching dryer noise
This was a very easy job. It was like snapping Lego pieces together. I ended up taking more time because I took the time to clean the orher parts while it was open. Took about 30 minutes total. Please make sure you know where the electrical wires are located at the bottom of unit. If you take the whole front panel off some of the wires may come off. There is not much documentation on the wiring so be cafefiul. Take a pic if you can. I watched the videos on YouTube from this site before starting. Just want to add that I am not a mechanic of any type. This is an easy job.

Squeaking
Drum slide slots had worn so bad that i needed to replace the whole thing. I had already taken it apart before to change drum slides and knew it was a matter of time before the whole bearing was going to need to be replaced.

I checked out YouTube and found some really helpful videos from various appliance guys. The parts came fast and I knocked out the repairs in about an hour. Replacing the front and rear bearings was a breeze and no more squealing. Just like new
