Dryer was making a high pitched squealing noise when running, but not it won't run any more. it tries to start when I turn and hold the start dial, heat comes out, but the drum won't turn and the motor won't seem to catch.
Please supply the model number so we can help further.
The model number you supplied QDSR495EB2WW does not come up in the GE Look-up. The first letter Q does not produce any GE Appliances. Do you reside outside the Unit States? Eric
That explains why our look-up does not include your model number. United States look-up and Canadian are different. Sorry... I cannot help further. Eric Campion

check the thermostat that regulates the heating cycle if its in good condition and the thermal fuse. If the fuse is blown you will want to replace

try spraying wd 40 on the motor ends to see if it will stop if not try the rollers normally they go bad and make the belt squeel.

I hope this is useful, and greets,

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE STARTING ANY REPAIRS
Your problem sounds like drum rollers have flat spots on them or in need of lubrication, or maybe your drum belt has slipped off of the idler arm pulley.
If you have a front loading machine,
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer.
Be REAL CAREFUL not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the dryer. This will expose the drum and belt. Remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm pulley and motor.
Now is a good time to check the belt to see if it has slipped off of the idler arm pulley and also to check the belt condition for wear.
Be sure to note the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt.
Check your drum rollers for flat spots or wear, if they have flat spots or wear on them replace them.
If the drum rollers don't have flat spots or wear on them then they probably only need lubrication. Lubricate the shaft of the rollers with a good grade of machine oil such as 3 in One oil. Reassemble the dryer, plug back in. This should solve your noise problem.

The model number is:
QDSR495EB2WW
Hope you can help...the last thing I need right now is to have to call in a repair man. :(
Also, any instructions on how to get to the inside of the machine to see the parts would be greatly appreciated!
I live in Canada.
