Hi,
Thanks to this wonderful site hubby, son and I replaced the belt, felt pads on top of drum and new ball bearings kit bottom rear under drum of this dryer. Frigidaire Gallery Model # is FDE43
7GHSO. We did all this because it was squeaking/squealing. Started a little at first then constant. We started with the pads, that helped but it started back with squealing for a little while then stops after drying for a while, finally constant so we went with the belt(it broke) and bearings. This helped for about a year now it is squealing ALL the time and driving us insane(short trip).:D Also it starts heating but then stops after about 10 minutes. You have to dry small loads 4 or 5 times. HELP! :confused: :mad: :eek: BTW it is about 7 years old. THANKS!

First clean the vent hose from dryer to where it exits the house. Next, remove the blower housing and clean it out ver well. This is what is cousing it to take so long to dry clothes. As for the squeeking, could be the rollers or the idler pulley
