Low dryer heat even when on high setting, loud sqealing noise coming from the dryer when the drum was turning
The low heat issue was resolved with the installation of the new heating element. I first thought the squealing noise was due to worn out or jammed drum rollers. However, once I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum, I could see that the original rollers where fine as was the drive belt. The squealing was being caused by a very worn rear felt seal that had left a sticky brown residue on both the felt seal and metal case. I subsequently order the rear seal kit (felt seal & glue). I used acetone to remove the original real seal glue and made sure the surface was completely clean before installing the new seal. I had to hand stretch the new seal a bit to enable it to fit and I used masking tape to hold it in position as i installed it around the drum. Note that the glue is applied under the seal once the seal is installed on the drum. Someone's previous post suggesting the use of a detergent container to help hold the drum in place during reassembly was a big help as where the instructional videos on the PartSelect web site.

Rear drum seal and drum roller
The Dryer maintenace kit and drum roller kits were a great buy since the unit was 13 years old it made more sense to reapir the dryer once while I had it apart. It was easy to repair, the most difficult part was trying to get the belt back on the drum since it is awkward. The job took me about 45 minutes to complete and have the dryer back up and in service.
