The dryer is squeaking/squealing during operation. It is a high-pitched noise that is rather loud. It is also getting very hot. We vacuumed the lint bucket area behind the cover, which fixed the overheating the last time, but it is still getting hot, in addition to making a loud noise from the onset of operation.

Problem Solved!!! Update to my repair!

I ordered the parts on Sunday, received them today (Tuesday). Spent about 40 minutes following the instructions and completing the repair (if I knew what I was doing it would have taken about 15 minutes). The noise is gone and it is working like a clock. I did not replace the final piece that came with the repair kit (It is the shaft the bearing fits over. I did not have the proper socket to remove the old one, but the old shaft felt smooth and good.

This was super easy. I am anything but mechanical. I do change my own oil and that is about it. Get your allen wrench and phillips screw driver ready and fix you dryer. Save me about $330.

If you remove the top of the dryer(not just the lid) be sure to get the tab on the left side flipped down and into its slot when you replace the top. Otherwise the drum where the clothes are will not open. Instead you get three lights on the control panel lit up indicating a problem.

Best of luck!

Oh yeah, the repair dude was full of it. The jockey pulley is a terrible repair and would have taken lots of time. Lots of dismantling to get to the pulley's according to him and the manual. Would have been the big money maker. Glad I took this on myself. Have no fear!
