My research indicated that perhaps a drum roller was bad. I took the dryer apart, and visually inspected the 2 drum rollers, but am not sure what a 'good' or 'bad' drum roller should look like... Question 1: How likely is the drum roller to be the cause of this problem? Question 2: How can I confirm that the problem is a drum roller? Thanks!

The rollers and their associated shafts are what supports the drum, so if you are getting noises as the drum rotates, they are the likely item to be replaced.
