The dryer tub started screeching and then dropped.
Removed the top of the dryer above the dryer door by pulling the pop out plastic holds. I then removed the dryer plug in at the top inside dryer that controls the start when dryer door is closed. I thenremoved the screws that are located at the back of the dryer tub where the bearing is located. I then replaced the support bearing. I just replaced every thing I took off in reverse.

Just a lint screen (which I had replaced once before) but the local parts store wanted more than twice what this cost.
Easy, lint trap in front, unscrewed the old base, threw out the old lint screen which was hanging by a thread, and put the new (and - KEY WORD - cheaper) part in. All by Myswlf!
Thanks.
Thanks.

the lint screen was old and holey. lint was getting into the dryer hose.
All I had to do was take out two screws that held the lint screen frame into the dryer, vacuum the opening to get the lint out that had accumulated, place the new frame in the opening, tighten the two screws that hold it in place, insert the lint screen and it was done.

The drum belt was making a squealing noise, and it looked frayed.
Had to remove the front of the dryer but installation was quick and easy. An affordable and quick repair.
