Screaching sound from dryer - Dryers

frigidaire dryers have a rear bearing that the drum rides on,usually when you hear metal on metal sounds it will be the rear bearing

Did you remove the filter chute? My dryer was making a heck of a racket and I found a wire inside the blower housing:

Does it make the screeching sound continually after it is turned on or just when it is turned on and then the sound goes away? Knowing this will help in diagnosing the problem.

That's easy, first of all you must have the Dryer on flat floor I mean verticly right. And try not to put too many clothes to get dried.

Sounds like it needs what are called glides or felt. This is what keeps the metal drum from contacting the metal housing. If this is let go too long the drum can be ruined

your drum glides/rollers are defective on the front edge of dryer where the drum rests,sounds most like the glides are glazed,not roller bearings but check it could be either

If it was your blower wheel it would not make that noise first cheak and see if thewheel has play on the shaft if so then it will need to be replace second turn blower wheel by hand back and forht if there is a screaching sounds if is a dry bearing on the motor .If so if you can live with the sound it will not go right away if not remove motor and replace.If there is play on the wheel you will need clip pliers and normal pliers and remove both clip[ on shaft and clip on shaft revers after install new blower wheel good luck:)

the drum is supported in the front by two drum slides.You need to check them for visual damage

Sounds like the belt has broken. You could probably also use new drum support rollers. Check out this site which shows how to change a dryer belt:

It's not a difficult job if you're comfortable working with hand tools.
