How can I oil the barrel of my dryer?

When I bought my home, it came with a washer and dryer, so I do not have the owner's manuel. It is a GE Profile, probably about 10 years old or so. It has recently become very squeaky while running and I don't want to take anything apart without having some idea of what to look for and where to put oil. I also dont know what kind of oil to use.How can I oil the barrel of my dryer?
It could just be a drum wheel. call an appliance tech.How can I oil the barrel of my dryer?
The drum rotates on rollers. That's what is squeaking. On most dryers, you can remove the front and gain access to the rollers. The bearings on the drum are most likely ';sealed'; and do not require any service.
**NOTE** You never want to use an oil on a appliance that heats up, like a dryer.





It will draw in dust, and it can be a fire hazard.





The answers here are correct, about the bearings, no matter what the ';thumbsdowns'; say.
Ahh maybe the rollers but also see if you have a center support bearing on the rear of the drum. I think you do. the Unplug the dryer, lift the top and look behind the drum to see if there is a bearing support the back of the drum. If so you can remove it and replace. THe drum as to come out along with the belt and front of the dryer. It sounds bad but it really isn't.


Replacement part is about $15 bucks.

You need to replace the bearings. don't do this your self buy a new unit or pay the price to fix it correctly
