Product review (5 stars): Stopped the squealing in my GE dryer
My GE dryer model DBSR453GB3WW was squeaking loudly and I thought it must be the rear bearing behind the drum. After some online research, I discovered the problem is usually the front bearing, which consists of a large plastic piece just inside and above the door and 4 plastic glides that attach on top so the drum can slide along around them. The Sears parts website showed I needed parts&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/WE3M26/dp/B004H3XT0Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">WE3M26</a>&nbsp;(the big plastic "bearing"), and glides WE1M504 and WE1M1067 (2 each I found out here on amazon). This kit has all that and more for much much less. The kit also includes the felt seal WE09X20441 and a new belt WE09X20441.

Instructions are included, but to give you an idea of what's involved.... The only tool I needed was a regular size Phillips screwdriver. Remove two screws on the top of the door opening, pull off the top, remove 2 more screws and pull off the front. Carefully disconnect a few wires going to the front panel. The large plastic bearing is on the top inside of the front panel above the opening. Mine was completely worn through on the top and one side, and only 1 of the 4 glades were still intact. Carefully work the old bearing out (there's a couple plastic tabs on top) and replace.

My felt was out of place and worn and torn; I could have kept it but put the new one in - it sort of goes in at an angle and holds nicely in the plastic clips. I decided to replace the belt too - just reach under the bottom left of the drum to release it and it came right out. It was trickier getting the new one in because the motor roller isn't visible and it slipped off the first try. There's just the roller, a tensioner roller, and the drum to put it around. One more tip - the front panel needs to go on top of the tabs at the bottom front of the dryer.

That was it - maybe 30 minutes total, and the squeal is gone!
