My dryer works great. I am getting a noise when it runs. It looks like the drum is rubbing on the metal housing of the fan below in the front of the dryer. There is very little clearance. I am thinking the belt has stretched & a new belt will hold the drum higher & give more clearance between the drum & housing. Sound right?

Here are your parts
Parts for Amana XRBS209BWR / PXRBS209BW0 Refrigerator - AppliancePartsPros.com

I doubt that the belt is the problem.

using section 04 of the parts check:
The glides and pads (items 13 and 14) for wera.
The felt seal (item 3)
The bulkhead (item 5). Also if there is slop in the mounting screws make sure it is mounted as high as it can go.

The wear of a belt will not cause the problem you describe. If the drum is rubbing on the support or the fan housing the front guides or bearings are worn out . These are intended to hold the drum up and when they wear out or get damaged the drum will scrape and usually cause a squealing or screeching sound. They can be replaced on most dryers but may have to be glued in place.
