Dryer sqeaks cant open lid .Help.

This type of noise is likely to be a universal joint that is worn out in the drive line. have a shop put it on a lift and inspect the joints.

mostly the noise your hearing is the drum running on the side of machine .the baering/bearings have collapsed in your drier . Most driers these days have the bearing encased in the outer drum and i mean molded to the outer drum . You cant replace them and the manufacturer doesn`t really want you to . Sorry about that = looks like a new drier for you .

Steven your neptune dryer has bearing problems - thats the chaffing noise you hear on the left side - your drum is running off centre , probably pulled that side by the action of the drive belt . Remove back of machine and check out from there . disconnect all power before and during inspection . you may be able to replace bearings on that dryer if you have the tools to do so .

The squeak is the rear bearing mount rubbing on the hanger ball. The plastic bearing is gone and that metal piece is cutting a groove into the ball mount. I have a picture. If the ball will be cut off and the drum will fall into the heating element and the belt will break. Not good!
To get to this bearing you must pop the top and get the belt loose,lift out the drum and inspect the bearing. The kit is fairly reasonable.This is something that a DIYer can easily handle.

unplug the dryer.
Raise the lid.
Remove the front panel.
Inspect the blower wheel on the motor.
If loose on the shaft, replace it.
Inspect the glide supports on the front drom support.
Remove the drum.
Inspect the rear rollers for sticking.
Inspect the belt tension roller for wear.
