Dryer squeals until it gets hot. When you open the top of the dryer and looking down onto the drum, it is missing what looks like a white tab there is one on the left but the one on the right was in two pieces. When you open the dryer door you can pull the drum towards you about a half inch so I am pretty sure that the broken tab needs to be replaced but I don’t know what they (the tabs) are called.
Just by reading your problem, I thought first it was a belt. The best thing you can do, is to do some researching on the web. Use altavista as the search engine. Perform key word searching your problem. If all fails, try this website www.repairclinic.com.
