The drum rides on glides in the front and a center bearing in the rear. Those glides are probably gone.
Hi i have a GE - themobilian_575.jpg
Unplug the dryer and remove these screws then raise the top.

Remove these screws and lift off the front to check those glides

If it is scrubbing you probably need to not only replace the glides
but the glides mount also (called a bearing oddly enough).


Remove the drum and inspect the rear bearinHi i have a GE - themobilian_579.jpgg src="/uploads/images/themobilian_579.jpg" alt="themobilian_579.jpg" class="h_mi" />

I have a Maytag Heavy Duty Quiet Series 200 Dryer, and when I turn the dryer on is makes a horrible screeching sound. Like metal grinding against metal. What do I do?

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.

Loud Grinding noise in Dryer

I know this prob is old, but I had the very same prob with my dryer (very loud squeaking noise). The prob was that there was a screw stuck between the rotating part and the stationary part. Meaning - look inside the dryer (main area - where the clothes go) and rotate it by hand. You may hear and see something causing the friction. Gerard
