The dryer will make a bad vibration while running throught its cylce. It gets into a rythm like pattern of vibration. It will vibrate while turning then it will stop and start sometimes, like at a certain spot it does it every time. can't really tell where the vibration is coming from,i think its in the back or on the side towards the back were the idler is. any suggestions.

My guess would be either a drum roller [AP4046756] or the idler pulley [AP4291235] trying to seize. Be sure to clean the shaft in either case. I use a paper towel to clean off the softener sheet residue (a sticky film that will cause the wheel or pulley to fail prematurely). Hope you found this helpful!
