Hi chrissybeals...
Did you lubricate the rollers with a good grade of machine oil or vasoline before you reinstalled them?
If not then that could be where your noise is coming from.
Also one other thing you can check, make sure your felt dust seal on the front of the drum is good shape and does not have worn or torn spots in it, it also can make noise.
You can also take the machine apart, remove the drum and set it off to the side, and run the motor by itself to see if it is making the noise.
Please take time to rate me

My dryer won't spin and is squeeling

It sounds like either the belt is loose or the drum is frozen. Try the following links to see if they help.

Kenmore Electric Dryer HE2 model 110.8756 really noisy with screeches and rattles when running. Dries fine but really noisy. Used to be quite as a mouse.

there's a belt kit you can buy that comes with a new belt,rollers and the belt pulley.this should take care of it,you have to send the whole model number so i can look up your machine.

Whirlpool model 110.88752792 dryer runs but does not heat

Concerning the Kenmore 11088752792 model where the dryer spins but does not heat. I had that problem a few years ago with the same model.

I replaced the fuse (part No. 3399849 about $10.00) and the thermostat (part no 3398128 about $25.00). Dryer worked fine the first try.

FYI. Today, I'm searching for what makes the dryer squeak when I came across your issue (though 6 months since you posted, but I figure there are other Kenmore stack-able owners out there searching for a fix). I haven't taken the dryer apart yet but have ordered the dryer belt, rollers, pulley (a package deal with RepairClinic) and the felt bearing/seal. May as well do a full replacement of the likely components that are causing the squeaks and not spend any more time going through trial and error repairs.

If you haven't already, the dogs on your agitator are probably due for replacement as well. RepairClinic has an agitator package deal with replacement dogs and seals.

My dryer squeaks model #mde3600ayw

Many reasons for this to happen. First the seal surrounding the drum to the front panel maybe dirty causing this squeak
In the other hand most squeaks are caused by the dried up bearing inside the roller for the belt tensioner. If so replace the belt and tensioner pulley for the belt gets stretched by a worn pulley and will break eventually too

Makes squeaking noise after running for about 10 minutes

there are 2 drum rollers at the back of the dryer. shut off power, pull drum and you will see 2 rubber wheels. there is a little plastis triangle that keeps the roller in place. try spinning the rollers . they probably will not spin too freely. remove triangles ,inspect inside of roller the stainless steel bearing may have gunk on it try to clean off . also check shaft roller rides likewise remove any debri use a little rubbing alcohol to remove gunk. also check the idler roller that routes the belt for the same things. good luck
