My dryer works fine buts makes an awful noise. It sounds like something is caught in the drumb. I need to know how to access the felt gaskets. Can someone help?

More likely the belt idler or the drum rollers making the noise. Here's a video on how to disassemble the dryer and a link to the parts manual.

Run your fingers all around the seam/seal at the front and back of the drum.
Some times things can get caught between the drum and the frame.
Bra wires are famous for this.
Be careful in case it is something sharp.
