Dryer Front Bearing Kit
The drum's front edge rests on sacrificial plastic slides. Over time, these slides thin due to abrasive lint and heat, eventually allowing the drum to make direct contact with the bearing support. This creates a high-pitched metal-on-plastic or metal-on-metal squeak during rotation.

Rear Drum Bearing Kit
This model uses a ball-and-socket rear support system. As the factory lubricant dissipates or becomes contaminated with carbonized lint, the friction between the spindle and the sleeve increases, resulting in a rhythmic, high-frequency squealing sound as the drum rotates under load.

Idler Pulley
The idler pulley maintains tension on the drive belt and spins at a significantly higher RPM than the drum. If the internal sleeve bearing fails or the shaft becomes scored, it creates a persistent, piercing squeak that typically persists even when the dryer is lightly loaded.
