  I recently replaced the rear drum bearing on this dryer, and once you find the part, the change is a snap. The dryer actually uses Whirlpool parts, and the rear bearing is just a plastic bushing that the shaft of the drum rides in. It is accessible behind a small cover on the rear of the machine. Pop the top off the machine (so you will be able to support the drum, to remove the old bushing), remove the five Robertson screws holding the rear cover and bushing in place,remove c-clip at end of shaft, remove old bushing. After applying some high quality lube (I used a molybdenum based product), reverse assemble, and enjoy the now quiet machine. In my case, a "tensioner spring" on the end of the drum shaft had disintegrated, likely causing much of the noise, as fragments entered the bushing. I intend to inquire as to the need of the spring,and if necessary, it's an easy addition.
