My Kenmore dryer makes a shrieking noise about once a revolution when drying. How do I take off the outer cover to inspect the inside, And what would cause the shriek? It has been getting steadily louder over the last couple of loads. I seem to be able to move the tumbler in and out, so I think it may be the rollers, but I won't be able to tell until I get the outer cover off. Thanks!
To get to the insides, you'll need to take the front off. Depending on the model, if may have snap clips to hold the top down- check the front two corners to see if you can lift the up. That will expose the screws that hold the front on. OR you may look at the front kick plate of the front panel, as there may be two retaining screws holding the panel on... if so remove the screws and tilt the front panel up until it releases.
Either way, after the front is off, you can take the front panel off the drum and then the drum should be able to be moved forward enough to check the rollers. Also check the belt tensioning pulley and the belt condition.
Sounds like a belt but need more info
