What does hot mounting do to a bearing?

Hot mounting uses heat to expand the bearing, relive interference fits and allow bearings to easily slide onto their mating component. Let’s look at the different methods for mounting bearings using heat:

Why are the bearings on my dryer making noise?

The lack of lubrication causes the metal of the bearings to make noise as it rides on the bearing race. The noise usually comes from the vicinity of the motor that is typically affixed to the bottom of the dryer, at the back. The bearings might also squeak rhythmically as the dryer drum turns.
