My GE (electric) dryer makes a high pitched squeaking sound about 1 time per second. It sounds like it is coming from a place near the back of the dryer, and I believe I need to replace the rear drum bearings.
Am I on the right track? My other problem is that I am not sure how to access the rear drum. Do I need to remove the 3 hex nuts inside the drum, to release it from the bearings?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
I find that lubericating only buys a little time. Not long before replacing it anyway
Did you have any trouble with your motor or transmission after i got wet? I am having the same problem but repairman said my motor may burn up from the water.
Hey everyone,
I’m new to this forum. I just completed this repair myself today, using the info provided above, plus this link:
http://www.applianceaid.com/tub_seal_replacement.html
But now it appears the washer is leaking from another, unknown location.
The tub seal is perfect and not leaking anymore, however, I notice a small puddle of water under the machine that forms sometime during the end of the cycle.
Any idea what this could be? It appears to come from the transmission itself, under the unit where the belts are, but I’m not 100% sure on this yet since I haven’t run it for very long. There also may be some water inside the cabinet, in the left rear of the unit, near where the motor wires turn upward and head for the control panel.
Could water be trapped in the transmission from the tub seal leak, and now be slowly seeping out during the final "spin" cycle?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
