Squeaks FSE446RHS2 XD41513722

Could be the bearings going, other possibilities could be that the drum is slightly misaligned and scraping against the housing, although that's not very likely, or a bad belt.

Although sometimes it's some obscure thing, I could be compleatly wrong.

It sounds like it is probably the bearings. I had the same problem with my Kenmore stackable dryer.

This could be a dry support bearing, a dried out drum seal or something stuck in the drum seal. If I could hear it I would know better where to start. Listen and try to locate the source from the above list. It could be the belt but that is not as common.

That is caused by lack of lubrication of the REAR bearing for the drum. It will have to be removed and grease will need to be added. If the machine is run without this, a new bearing will have to be purchased. If the squeeling just started, the bearing is ok - you just have to get the job done very soon. While in there, they should clean the lint out. They should also lube the idler pulley for the belt. The idler pulley is often forgotten, and this item should be lubed every time the machine is serviced. Good luck.

rpllers or tub bearing

more than likely the theraml fuse on the back of dryer unplug unit and use a continuity tester to check for ohms. the t-fuse is on the exhaust tube also the squeaks usally comes from the drum rollers use a little silicon grease and lube the roller shaft

HIgh pitch sqeak when starting dryer, quiets as it runs. A bearing maybe?
