My dryer was fixed 2 months ago for the belt. It was struggling to turn. Then it squeaked and is still squeaking. Now the timer isn't working and it is back to struggling to turn upon start with a wet load.
Have someone else look at the machine, I'm not sure about the last guy. Do smaller loads to ease up on the machine. It will last a lot longer doing more, but smaller loads.
Testimonial: "I have been doing smaller loads to help. It is a it irritating because I feel I am using a lot more electricity due to the machine not working properly. I'm not sure if fixing it will be cost effective. To come out it will be...approx. $60 and then parts/labor. Last visit was over $100. Thinking I should buy another machine. The timer isn't working - how easy is that replaced?"

Last visit was over $100 and it didn't squeak until he was done replacing belt and said it should quit making the noise (but didn't). Thinking I should buy another machine. The timer isn't working and unless I set a timer, I forget - how easy is that replaced?
You're right. Find a dealer that will deliver the new one and take away the old one. If you have a lot of dealers around, and they are competing, you may even get a trade in on the old one!

Motor malfunctions usually call for service by a professional. There are three main causes of motor failure: lack of lubrication, a defective motor switch, or worn or frozen bearings. A humming sound can be related to a burned-out motor or a defective switch. Check these trouble spots before you call a professional service person or take the motor to a repair shop. Here's how to check a dryer motor:
Step 1: Remove the back access panel. Then reach behind the drum, motor pulley, and idler arm pulley. If these areas are clogged with dirt and lint, undue strain on the motor may be causing the humming noise. Worn or broken belts can also cause a humming noise. Check the belts for wear and damage. If the belts look all right, you may be able to stop the noise by spraying them with fan belt dressing, available at automotive and hardware stores and home centers.
Step 2: Turn the dryer on. The noise you hear may be the whirl of the spinning drum, not the motor. Some noise is normal.
Step 3: Force a little 20-weight nondetergent motor oil (not all-purpose oil) around the ends of the motor shaft. This lubrication may stop the humming noise. If this doesn't solve the problem, remove the motor and take it to a professional service person.The centrifugal switch on the dryer motor may be located on top of the motor. Humming, no motor power, and no heat can be caused by a faulty centrifugal switch. If the switch is externally mounted, check the terminals of the switch to make sure they are tight and not burned. If you spot trouble, remove the switch and take it to a professional service person for testing. A faulty switch will probably have to be replaced. Some centrifugal switches are located inside the motor housing; you won't be able to remove the switch in this case. Remove the entire motor and take it to a professional for repairs.
If the motor hums, but won't run the pulley on the end of the motor shaft, try turning the pulley by hand.Caution: Before turning the pulley, make sure the power to the dryer is turned off.

there are two possibilities for this question. 1) there is an idler roller that give the belt the correct tension . unplug dryer and remove idler roller see if it spins freely if not replace it @0 there are two drum rollers in back of machine thatdrum rides on remove drum it's self explanitory how to remove drum and very easy also. you can roll these wheels and check for free movement visually check them ,one or both should be worn out or the bearing in the wheel has failed before putting old or new wheels back sand the wheel shafts to get any gunk off them and that's about the only thing that can make a dryer squeek

Hello.
The squeaking is coming from the rollers that the drum rides on. If you take the model number to a local appliance service store they will have the parts and be able to direct you on replacing them.
