I have owned a GE dryer for about 5 years, and just last week this tab/tag stuck out of the gap near the dryer door and is starting to snag on clothing. I tried pushing it back in but it just came back out again. Does anyone know what it is/how I can fix it?
Here are two closeup shots from inside the dryer of where the tab is.
Appears most likely (lacking information) to be a teflon dryer drum bearing slide. I found a set of 4 for sale as replacements, though they may not be the exact ones for your dryer. It appears that they clip in rather than having a screw to come loose. You should identify your model and probably order a new set and replace them all, if one has come loose. Running without bearings tends to lead to worse damage as things that should not touch start grinding each other.
Images from some random Amazon seller - no affiliation, and I doubt these are even the exact match for the unknown dryer in the question.
