We had it serviced but it didn't take two weeks for the squeaking to return. I was able to easily remove the front cover (two screws) and using a flashlight put some drops of oil on the wheels. I've had to do this about every two weeks but this has kept me from from having to buy a new dryer for the last two years! Of course the belt just broke so it looks like my number's up! Hope this helps, good luck.

You probably have a bad bearing at the back of dryer housing where the drum spindle goes in. If the noise is more like a screech you have bad slides in the front panel.
