You could try oiling them. I recommend Zoomspout oil. It is used in the HVAC community. It is heat resistance and non-flammable, will not dissipate easily. Get it at Ace hardware.

Rattling could be anything from a bad idler or support pulley or coins in the vanes. If you can hear it you can find it pretty easily.

The blower wheel attached to the motor has stripped out. Replace the blower wheel.

Hi, Can you tell if the noise is in the lower front? It sounds like maybe the blower wheel has went bad. I can assist you further in this if you need.

Thanks

Hi, It sounds like the blower wheel is bad. This is a common problem.
While the dryer is running, listen to the front lower left corner and see if you can pinpoinnt the noise area.
If this is the case, please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks
Vic

May want to check your venting system to the outside. If the dryer cannot blow out enough heat outside due to the vent being clogged or kinked, then it will overheat causing panels and moving parts inside the dryer to get too hot and rattle.
