Kenmore Electric Dryer 592-89057 makes a horrible squealing for first 2 minutes of dry cycle. Noise goes away after this point. Is there a repair kit for belt/bearings/bushings? I'm assuming this is the problem Is there an instructional video on how to disassemble the dryer? I've only seen them for older models to date The instruction manual http://www.sears.ca/manuals/div-26/26_C970_89062%20%20%20%20970-C89062_00_89092%20%20970-C89092-00_BOM_2009.pdf was less than helpful with any service related information that wasn't 'call sears techs'. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks!

I am quite suspicious that the problem is a worn out, or dried and hardened, drive belt.
New belt are available in many places, and on-line if you wish to buy there, I buy both locally and on-line.
As far a s changing it, although it is easy, you still must take the machine apart partly to do so.
I recall you should be able to look at an old instruction and transfer that information to a newer one.
They have not really changed much.
God bless your efforts.

Testimonial: "Thanks David for the quick response. Any way I can verify that it is only the belt? I'd prefer to only have to take the machine apart once!"

Kenmore 400 dryer squealing noise

A little lubricant on the pulleys near the belts will go along way. Its vereasy to access these parts front the back of the machine with a 1/4 hex head screwdriver.
