Whirlpool Dryer squeals

It is a Gas Dryer, so it can only be worked on by a qualified gas service engineer. Easy to fix Miss Carroll, it is a slipping belt or a dry drum bearing.

Tell them make and model and that it is squealing. They should bring the parts to fix in one visit.

Sounds like the drum bearings are going bad, or at the very least need lubrication. thats what your problem is.

There maybe an air flow issue. With the dryer on check the air flow from the exterior location of your home. There should be a good flow of warm/hot air coming out. If not the inside of the dryer may be full of lint.

It sounds like your solenoid coil(s) might be no good. Easy fix and not very expensive.

If your dryer heats when you first turn it on and after a few minutes it does'nt. check the ignitor to see if it is glowing. It should glow bright then you will hear a click and the burner will light. If the ignitor glows bright but you hear a click but no flame and if you watch this for several minutes and this process continues of glow then glow goes out no flame, then you have a bad burner coil. There are 2 black solenoids sitting on top of gas valve. One of them is shorting out after it warms up. Replace both solenoids. You can usually get them as a kit from parts store.

could be a faulty stat or element,get an engineer to test the dyer, he will check insulation on the element, could try replacing the element that just might sort it

I think the drum drive belt is slipping because it occurs more with a large load. Other possibilities are: A drum support wheel bearing could need lubrication or be replaced. Also some drum support wheels have a rubber coating that wears off causing misalignment and noise. Possibly drum gasket (sometimes felt material) where drum meets rear panel is worn allowing metal-to-metal contact--should be replaced.

This sounds like dryer vent has to much lint in it. It needs to be cleaned all the wall to outside of house. It will hold moisture in and not let clothes dry..

sounds like you are having or go to have a motor problem repl/ motor

Could be the idler pulley, or the dryer seals.
