I have a GE Profile Dryer, model #DPSR475EWOWW. It also Squeels as the drum turns. I checked out your answers why it does this. Very Helpful. Is there a web site I could get a picture of how to take the back off to get to the problem? Never had to fix anything before but now I am in position of having to do these things myself.:

The drum on this model rotates on a bearing in back. This is most likely where the sqeeling is coming from. You will have to service this from the front. Should be 2 screws just above the door on each side. Remove them and the top will lift. Slide the top off forward. Once the top is off, you will see a couple of screws holding the front panel and door assy. On. One on each side inside front panel. Unplug the door harness and remove the front panel and door. Undo the belt and the drum should pull straight out. Watch out not to get the belt hung on the motor. Now you will see the rear bearing and shaft bracket that the drum rides on. It may need to be replaced or just lubed up real good.
