dryer. high pitch screeching... just recently started. taking it apart this weekend...

question: can the wife run a load or 2 through it.? i assume it will be the common screeching problem. probably a worn or degreased part.

sounds metallic in nature i assume it is going to be a roller or slide.

If it is a rear center bearing drum support type then that would be at the top of my list.

Also front glides are a common cause.

Also the idler wheel.

Could even be that something has fallen into the blower.
