I want to fix it myself but what is the best way to get to it??? My manual doesn't show the best way to take it apart. Thanks to anyone that can help me out!

Lift up on the drum slightly and pull it out of the way, you can then access the rollers, shich probably need replacing. While you have it appart vacuum out the insides to help prevent a fire hazzard. Nat

Remember to check the roller shafts, if worn replace. Also check your belt, front glides, idler wheel and drum seals. Might as well clean and check your vent system while you are at it.
