My dryer works as normal but it makes a squeaking sound off and on when it is tumbling clothes. Googling appears to tell me that it could be a belt (which appears to be fine upon inspection) or the bearings, rollers, etc. Can someone help me out please? Thanks.

Go with the rollers and the glides and it is likely you will be all set.

Clean, and I do mean thoroughly clean, everyting inside the dryer while you are in there.

For Sidfink43;
I replaced the rollers, glides, and felt pads and it still squeaks. Albeit not quite as much but it still does it. I throughly cleaned as well as you had suggested. When I was replaceing the parts, I noticed that around soft, furry coating around the drum on the front and back, the front one was partially torn and I don't know if that is causing it to squeak where the drum touches the front panel? Any other ideas? Thanks much for your assistance.

I would replace that gasket and see if that does not fix things for good.
