Wire Scraping sound and sparks inside rear dryer drum area.

I purchased a Frigidaire Gallery Series electric Washer/Dryer Combo 4 months ago. The dryer model # is GLEQ2152ES1. When I turn the dryer on, I hear a wire scraping sound coming from the drum. When I look through the glass fron loading door, I can see electrical sparks in the back of the drum. Could this be the electrical heater coil broken or what?

Probably the rear bearing has failed and caused the drum to rub against the heating element. Hey, is this the guy that said he heard a noise last month? LOL

Hello, I have just purchased a frigidaire gallery series stackable combo 2004 model glet1142cso after hooking it up i am having problems. It won't fill unless dryer door is open..won't spin out...

Probably an auto tec installed the recepticle on the wall or in the electric pannel. in home electric the black wire and the red wires are hot. In automobiles the black is ground. You should have 240 volts between the two flat connectors on the plug when its pluged into the recepticle.

GLEQ2152ES0 - Frigidaire Gallery series electric dryer. Has started squeaking rather loudly about 60% of the time while drying. What could be causing this?

Inside, the drum rides on rollers that support it. The bearings fail and will squeak. The noisy one will have to be replaced. You will have to open it up and try to locate the noisy one.

The dryer squeals (metallic sound) while drying clothes.

check wear pads around front of drum or rear depending on brand. Ge's are particularly prone to scraping sounds, but still one of my preferred brands. IF a ge, did it get any dents around the sides or back? The drum is close to the sides and a dent in right place will do it. Also the rear panel can push the drum forward rubbing in front.
Ge - wear strips in front, plastic bearing in rear center, replace both, inexpensive.
Whirlpool- felt pad and wear strip in front, felt seal in rear with roller support. check rear seal lube rollers
Maytag -roller in front and rear with front and rear felt seals. some designs have front drum support posts with wear pads. ck these.
Frigidaire (include some sold under GE name) rear bearing cup (plastic)-lube, front feltpad with wear plates if plates gone get new pad/wearplate asm.
Maytag and ge nomenclature tags are in rear .

FWT445GES1 Washer makes loud banging noises like it's going to explode.

Washer- you need a complete tub and bearring kit. this is a common problem for people who have well water. (also just happens) the rear yoke has become corroded and broken. its a costly repair.

dryer - you would need a new front slider seal. very simple to install.
