I am new here, but this seems the place to get good info bout appliances and such. Anyway, I purchased an old used Magic Chef gas dryer probably about 4 or 5 years ago, and now its making a loud, continuous squeal. It goes away after a min or so and seems to still function fine. Model no. yg20hn3 (maybe the 0 is an o). I don't have the manual and was hoping there is somewhere i can get instructions on how to take it apart and replace the roller/bearing/belt or whatever might be the issue. Thanks for posting.

Slide a putty knife under the front on the right side,about 2 inches from the end, and you will hit a clip on the right side to release the top, then do the same on the other side. Of Course you have it unplugged, at this time. Then we need to get the front off. So with the top resting on the back wall, look inside the dryer on the front panel on the left side, about 6 inches down, there will be a 1/4 inch screw, take it out, and the one on the other side, and them lean the front towards you, and pull the wires off the door switch. Remember where they go, because I won't. Now lift up on the front, and set it a side. Now we need to take the drum out. So lay down and reach in and push the idler pully, so you can relieve the tention, and remove the belt. Now you can remove the drum, and replace the parts. Good Luck, and let us all know how it went.
