Greetings! My dryer has started to squeak/squeal for anywhere from a few seconds to around a minute or so at startup. Once it is going for a bit, it stops. In doing some research, I know it can be several things, but wanted to know if there are any troubleshooting tips to narrow down what it may be before I order all of the parts that it could be? I'd rather not have to take it apart more than once if I don't have to as well. And is it possible to get a link or a copy of the service manual so I can follow along to take it apart?

I'm leaning towards the belt, pulley assembly, and/or rollers.

Any additional assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ok. So I have it all taken apart, but nothing is obviously wrong? The belt looks great. the rollers roll smooth and don't make noise. The only thing that maybe is an issue is the idler pulley was tough to turn. It doesn't squeak when I turn it, but it takes some force. Could that be it?



Was fairly easy to take apart. I'm going to clean it, and may just order all 4 parts.

Thanks!
