I have a gibson dryer that recently has started to squeak/squeal when it first starts drying a load of laundry. As the load gets dry the noise gradually gets less. Could this be a belt issue and is this an easy fix? Thanks for any info in advance:confused:

Well- I am anything but an expert- but I have run into the same thing with my Gibson dryer. Today, it started squealing the entire load though. I went and bought a belt- but it's not the belt. A bunch of research on the web leads me to believe it is the rear drum bearing that is the problem. The fix seems like it will be a hard one- but the part is $22- so my dad is going to come to the rescue and help. Best of luck to you!
