Hi all, esp Jake who is always helpful here.
A neighbor was giving away this GE Profile dryer; they said it was noisy and they'd already bought a new one. I thought it might just be the glides, told them it was probably an easy repair, but they said it's yours if you want it. Ours is a 35 y o Speed Queen that was in our house when we bought it so I thought a 'newer' one might be an improvement.
So i went to pick it up and found that it WAS the glides, but worse than that, the drum had actually eaten away most of one side of the Front Support Bearing and into the door frame! Only one of the four glides was still there and there were piles of find metallic dust around the rim of the door opening! It must have been 'noisy' for years!
I couldn't find a model number anywhere on the dryer and figure the sticker must be gone, but found Jake's post from 8 years ago to someone with a similar issue, and I think the dryer in that post is the same as mine, or close enough. A pic of mine is attached.
I've now got a new support bearing, all four glides (2 and 2) and the rear bearing sleeve as well and will be installing. I wouldn't have thought of the rear bearing without Jake's suggestion in that earlier thread, and I bet it's shot, from the drum being so out of whack.
Will post back with any complications, but as usual, thanks a lot, Jake!
