1. Watched several videos of the repair on YouTube.
2. Ordered parts from eReplacement Parts.
3. Remove upper cowl from the dryer.
4. Remove top lid from dryer body.
5. Disconnect 3 wiring connectors and then remove control panel from dryer body.
6. Remove front panel of dryer body, but do not remove screws from around the dryer door. This will allow blower manifold body to remain attached to dryer front panel.
7. Remove light bulb from upper bearing assembly.
8. Remove wiring from harness clips on upper bearing assembly.
9. Remove upper bearing assembly from front panel.
10. Remove blower manifold body from front panel.
11. Vacuum all lint, debris, and plastic pieces from front panel, blower manifold, etc. Upper bearing assembly was DESTROYED and all pieces of it were ground into dust.
12. Remove old felt and discard.
13. Purchase new felt strip.
15. Install felt strip into clips on blower manifold body and make sure it's fully seated.
16. Wrap felt strip ends around retainer clips at either end of felt strip retainer.
17. Re-install blower manifold onto front panel.
18. Re-install upper bearing manifold onto front panel, making sure that it clips together with blower manifold body.

21. Reinstall control panel and re-connect wiring connectors.
22. Reinstall dryer lid.
23. Reinstall upper cowl.
24. Test out dryer operation. Notice howling screeching is gone and that dryer will probably keep going for another 10 years.

Drum wouldn't turn

Tool Type
Dryer
Difficulty
Medium
Time
1-2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Duct tape
1 Slid dryer away from wall and removed duct pipe and unplugged dryer
2 Removed control panel, making sure to unplug all internal connections, top of dryer and front of dryer which included door.
3 Found drive belt broke, and while I had dryer apart replaced drum slides, slide bearings, rear bearing assy., door felt, and idler pulley because I had this dryer apart before several years ago and the same parts were wore out.
4 Also replaced drive belt and cleaned all lint from blower housing and duct work, and everywhere else I found inside the dryer.
5 Putting the drum belt on was hard because you have no room for 2 arms inside and you have to route the belt around the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley, very tricky with one arm and one hand, patience.
6 Reassembled sheet metal and ran, very quiet now

Drum was grabbing clothes and twisting them in the door.

Screwdriver
Took out 5 screws out and got the front door loose. It swung out to the right of the dryer. The 4 slides were worn completely away. There was nothing left of them and the felt seal on the bottom of the door seal was half missing. Installed the slides and pushed the felt strip into the slot after removing what was left of the old felt seal. Put it back together and done in about 30 minutes. Easy. Nothing is getting caught and twisted anymore.
