Squeaky Squeak! Is there a mouse in the dryer?

I noticed a high-pitched squeaking noise coming from our 8 year old GE Electric dryer. Thankfully, there was no mouse! I did some searching online and learned what to inspect to determine the cause of the squeaking. I took the dryer apart and inspected the front and rear bearings; both are intact. I cleaned the front bearing and vent and I'm hoping that's all it needed.

I was surprised at how easy it was to disassemble the dryer and inspect the parts in question. A service call for something like this could easily have cost $50-$100. DIY price: $0! Never fear home repairs!
