UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE STARTING ANY REPAIRS
Your problem sounds like drum rollers have flat spots on them or in need of lubrication.
If you have a front loading machine,
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the dryer. This will expose the drum and belt, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers.
Check your rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them replace them.
If they don't then they probably only need lubrication. Lubricate the shaft of the rollers with a good grade of machine oil such as 3 in One oil. Reassemble the dryer, plug back in. This should solve your noise problem.

Good Luck,
I hope this helps
I was thinking maybe the blower wheel because the belt seems to slip when starting and stopping the dryer. When you say "rear bearing" so you mean the wheel on the back left of the dryer? Also do you know how I access the inside of the dryer. It is stackable and the dryer is on top and I can't seem to get to the "guts" of the unit? Thanks

Same problem here as described by the other member. Sounds like the belt has loosened. I'll be watching this thread -- thanks for the input!
I have a similar problem with my dryer Maytag LSE 7806 ace. It continuosly "clunks" loudly as it drys. I have opened the front, but haven't a clue as how to get access to the innards or what to look for. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
