It sounds like the slides are indeed gone, the guides aren't too hard to replace, however if the front shroud is nearly worn through you may need to find a parts dryer to get another shroud. The dryer drum glide area at the front of the drum is also damaged but in most cases you can just turn the drum around so thier is a smooth painted area to ride on the new front glides. You should take the dryer apart to see what is worn it could need the felt seals you just have to take it apart and see. If you decide to get a new dryer I would look first at a 29" WP , KM or MT any of the models with the LF on the top, The new GE dryers are not real durable, the cheaper ones are made by Frigidare and these are the worst dryers made currently. The better GEs are a little better but still leave a lot to be desired, I never have liked any dryer where the heater is directly behind the drum so close to the clothes its just to dangerous or likely to damage clothing.
