Electrolux ELFE7637AT 7.4 cu ft Electric Dryer with Steam Refresh and Wrinkle Care MECH-ROLLER Error Fix: Drum Support Rollers Worn — Squealing

The dryer makes a loud squealing, squeaking, or thumping noise during operation. The drum support rollers (typically 2 rear rollers and sometimes 2 front rollers) have flat-spotted or worn bearings. Remove the drum and inspect each roller — they should spin freely and quietly. If a roller has a flat spot, it will cause a rhythmic thumping. Replace all rollers as a set for even wear. Also check the drum glide strips (front felt seal) for wear. Apply a small amount of heat-resistant lubricant to the roller shafts.
