Hello!
My Maytag electic Intellidry dryer makes a screeching metal-on-metal sound on-and off.
How do I open the lid to look inside?
What are a few possible sources of the noise?

Remove the one screw from each door hinge and remove the door.

Grab the top of the front panel on each side, pull and turn it from inside out to release it from the clip. Pull the top of the front panel toward yourself to release from the bottom clips.

Remove the belt from the motor pulley and pull out the drum.

Inspect the idler pulley, the drum support rollers (on the back), the belt and the drum bearings (in the front) for wear and/or damages.
