Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about dryers and noises...

It will help you determine what is happening there...

The idler bearing that keeps tension on the belt is going out due to heat leaching the grease out of it. Have it replaced.

Sounds like it. Or your seal around the door is about to give you a headache.

sounds like your "Drum Glides" need replacing, open the door and cheat the door interlock and you should be able to hear it closer by bottom of drum by lint filter if yours is located there depending on model

try spraying wd 40 on the motor ends to see if it will stop if not try the rollers normally they go bad and make the belt squeel.

Replace the dryer rear drum support bearing.
Problem will be solved.

This is very likely due to bad drum support rollers which is really not a difficult repair on these dryers.

Drum support rollers. I cannot see your repyl due to some tech issue w/ the site, so it may be a day or so before I can reply again. Please leave feedback for me if appropriate. Thanks

This is probably the drive belt slipping on the drum or motor. There is usually no adjustment on these and it is a case of replacing the belt. If you take the top off the machine, you may be able to look inside while it is running (KEEP CLEAR OF THE ELECTRICS AND DO NOT DELVE INSIDE WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN THIS STATE!) and see the belt slipping. If it is, it's probably time for a new belt
