My GE front loading washer (model number WBVH6240FWW) is making a dry squeaking noise after replacing a failed drive belt. The old belt was found wrapped/jammed around the flywheel and there was evidence of where it had been rubbing against the plastic tub. I had to remove flywheel to get old belt off. After installing new belt I have this new noise problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replacing gasket is fairly simple - need 2 people. UNPLUG FIRST - 1. Remove the plastic cover on top of machine that is mounted to back of control panel. 2. remove dispenser - push down on tab at back and it will slide all the way out. 3. Remove lower front cover by removing 3 screws holding it on bottom. 4. Remove 3 screws holding top panel on back of machine and slide cover back approximately 1 inch and lift off. 5. Remove the 3 screws that hold the control panel on - note these are different type of screw so keep track of which screw goes where - one of the screws is next to dispenser opening. Once this is done you can reach in to machine and disengage locking tab on right side under "washer temp" - have someone hold this part aside if you do not want to disconnect the cables. 6. Remove spring loaded wire securing door seal to front cover. 7. Remove the the 4 screws holding the front cover on. This item is a bit heavy so be careful. Disconnect the three door latch wire harness and place this aside. 8. On the right side of the gasket you will find the clamp screw that holds the seal to the drum - loosen this screw almost all the way and remove this wire clamp. carefully remove the two tube connections and remove the gasket completely. Take note how these were installed before removing. Now you can carefully clean the gasket seats on the drown and door and replace the gasket and reverse the steps to put the machine together. While you have the covers off it would make sense to remove and clean the pump strainer mounted on the lower cross support - this can be messy with lots of water coming out so go slowly and have plenty of towels and a shallow pan to catch the water with. HOPE this helps.
SOURCE: The inner tub is out of balance and rubbing against the outer tub
The rear bearing is part of the back half of the outer tub. In some cases the basket will need replaced also if the shaft is scored. This is a big job. In most cases whirlpool will warranty the parts for 10 years but not the labor. Will need to check in your owners manual. Hope this helps
SOURCE: Noisy dryer......when engaged...making squeaking/squealing noise.
If the noise is like a shaking of rattling , like coins being shaked , then it is an object trapped inside the drum.
If instead the noise is a loud grinding , that may get louder on high speed, then it is usually a bad drum bearing.
If dryer is not cooling, check that the noise is not coming from the ventilation fan.
Rollers and belt tensioner can also make noise.

Check the big rubber seal around the door for any holes or tears. Had the same problem, my husband had a screw in his pocket that torn a hole in the gasket.
