Bosch Dryer squeaking noise

When the dryer is in reverse drying mode, there is a squeaking sound as if some form of lubrication is required. I cannot seem to be able to get at the spot where the squeek is coming from but it s/b the motor. Is there an owners manual online to help me take apart the dryer?

I have not seen any service manuals online. The squeak will possibly be a rubber bush used to silence the machine. If you get it stripped down you should be able to locate the squeak by carefully applying pressure in different areas and the squeak should go... then hopefully you will have found the culprit.

We also have a bad squeak in our Bosch dryer that drives you crazy. The Bosch serviceman when he came to look at the problem said his own machine did the same and he gave up trying to fix it, cheaper to put up with the noise. I purchased Bosch because I thought it was one of the best, I will not be buying Bosch again!

My bosch Nexxt WTMC 3300 dryer makes a squeaking sound when the load is light -- drying a larger/wetter load less likely to make the noise.
I had a similar problem with a different model Bosch dryer. First I made sure the dryer was unplugged. I found, after taking the front and rear panels off, that one of the front wheels that supports the drum was broken. I replaced the wheel and it works fine with no squeaks.

Dryer just started making a loud growling sound while in operation. Prior to this, it had begun to take extra long to dry a load of laundry. The dryer is about ten years old.

The dryer squeals extremely loud when drying. It sounds like metal scraping against metal.It appears the drum may be rubbing against something. I have lubricated all moving parts.

While drying for short time the dryer starts to squeak
Probably a dry bearing
.You would have to gain access into the dryer to establish which bearing/s it is.
You would then need to see if lubricating the bearing/s, would cure the squeak..
If it does not, then you may have to fit a new bearing/s.\
Hope this helps.

Dryer rotates and drys well, but makes a noise when reversing rotation. Makes more noise at the beginning of use, then subsides. What could be wrong? Belt, bearings? Can I fix or do I need an expert?

The dryer (Bosch Nexxt 500) makes a loud grinding noise when rotating. Any idea what this may be?
The noise could be your drum rollers need lubricant or replacement.
When the drum rollers get flat spots on them they will make a bumping/thumping type of noise.
The grinding noise sounds to me like the drum rollers are in need of lubrication.

Squeak when running the dryer
It's the roller axles and/or the motor shaft. Remove the front of the dryer and lubricate same.

When dryer is on it continually makes squeaking sound
You need some lubrication inside the dryer. There are several pulleys and a belt tensioner that can be noisy if not properly lubricated. Be careful to use only an approved lubricant to avoid a possible fire hazard.
