hey guys today we're kind of talking
about a GE dryer it's making a grinding
noise when it runs or while squealing
noise when it runs towards the front of
the machine it's basically when it
sounds coming from it's most likely
going to be the front bearing kid on
which gives that kit to check it real
quick if it's already ground through
I've seen several that the drums have
actually ground all the way through the
kit and then ground through the metal
bore you've let it run for quite a while
that's still fixable you want to get
metal aluminum tape and cover it after
you put the new kit on it and cover a
few times you may want to paint it white
to make it look good again but you will
have to patch it so it doesn't catch and
snag on your clothes but it's very
difficult to do don't let it get to that
point it's making noise it's good to go
ahead and change it off all the bags
whole lot cheaper because you can just
buy a little plastic pads and not the
whole screws one right here one right
here there's two more screws one here
one here I've ever taken those two out
take those two screws out pick it up
bring it to the left side there's two
wires connected so don't pull this out
you'll have to all right this shroud
should look like should look like this
side does it's got little plastic pieces
and you see this one's already gone has
gotten ripped off probably worn through
and it's pulled off let me keep going
around here you'll see where it's
completely won through the plastic
plastics and gum and the two plastic
little pieces are gone now these little
pieces
I'll pull one out and see it looks like
this you could order just these and if
you catch it early you just replace all
four of these and you're done and it's
real cheap you probably get those for
like 10 bucks I think are on Amazon if
you have to get the whole shroud it's
not
huge deal you can get the shroud and
these things I think for 20 to 30
dollars and what you're gonna do is
you're gonna take this little button
right here it's going to be stuck
underneath this and it's just gonna come
down just like that it's going to on
that side it's just gonna lean just a
little bit and it's gonna come out and
that's it real easy to replace not a
huge deal just order another one of
those sometimes they'll be a light and
they're a lot of G's your eyes don't
come with light and you got to pull the
light down a little hole but most of
them don't have lights alright guys
that's it for this video for today

hey guys one quick note this is the back
of the drum if you take it off sometimes
this is the rear bearing and very rarely
have I ever seen them messed up you can
see them right there it's not bad this
one's fine and I think I've replaced one
over the last couple years and I fix
hundreds of dryers but just so you know
there's also a rear bearing that could
go out you may won't take the drum out
if it's still making noises and see if
it's the rear bearing but very unlikely
there's just three screws you'll go from
the inside the drum undo those three
screws and that you can buy this whole
thing and a little kit no big
