Replace the belt - it is old and worn out. The belt is made of rubber and is slipping, causing the smell and squeak. The belt heats up and becomes more flexible after the dryer runs a while; this is why the squealing stops.
that fan runs off the motor shaft and can be lubed with some spray lube,, be sure that its not the belt thats squealing, check it for cracks, and bare spots
es the belt runs on a belt tensioner that has a roller with a breaing inside the roller. The bearing is locked up causing the roller not to move no longer. This is making the belt squeal. If ran much longer the belt will burn off deleting the squeal although the drum will not turn. Replace the belt and the roller assembly. The tensioner will still be fine to use for it is a spring tension device that out last any dryer
Hi, this is a belt issue. make sure the tension on the belt/motor is sufficient. adjust to specs. if the belt is fine, this will be bad bearings in the roller assembly.
dryer's have a long belt that runs around the drum. a common culprit is an idler pulley on the belt tensioner. you can take off the front of the dryer and oil it for a temp fix. it will probably need to be replaced
will try it and get back to you!
