I'm sorry you are having trouble opening your dryer. As I understand it, you have a noise when the machine is running and you want to fix it. I want to help you with this.
Please look for any screws that may enter from the top into the machine. Then, pop the top, literally, pry it apart from the bottom and it will open. Remove the front ... spring clips or two screws, and maybe both. Be careful with the wires that go to the door switch.
As you remove the front, the drum will fall free from the front bearing. It is probably this front bearing (made of felt normally) that is making the noise you hear. You can clean it or probably replace it. I suggest you replace the drive belt at this time as well since you are opening the machine.
You may be able to refurbish the felt bearing but you have done a lot of work to get to this point, replace it. Get parts from a FixYa.com advertiser or a local appliance parts place or visit
