the bushes on the armature shaft are dry
there is a small felt pad around each bush and if you can get the motor then a few drops of machine oil on that felt will stop the noise.
In some cases, not all; the paper feed rollers get dry and slick. If so they tend to feed at times and sometimes stop halfway at times. Look at your rollers.
Have someone bounce the vehicle slowly and try spraying wd40(or something comparable on your bushings 1 at a time till it stops.Then you will know which one it is and if it is necessary to pursue problem.
Check your belts for dried fluid on them because this happened to my '95 Monte, the radiator pipes leaked onto the belts then dried and caused the squeaking.
Squeaking can mean bearings going bad or the pulleys needing some oil on them. The pulleys can usually be accessed from the rear of the dryer. The bearings are a different story, you would need to remove outer casing of the dryer to remove the drum to get the bearings behind the drum. I would recommend trying to oil the motor and idler pulleys and if that doesn't fix the problem if your handy you can try to replace the bearings. Its a big job, the bearings are behind the drum and are screwed in from the inside of the drum. In order to remove the drum the casing of the dryer had to be removed, usually the front and the top (the top will sometimes tip back on hinges). After that the drum should slide out with the bearing assembly attached. Installation is the same as removal. {Note: If you find it to be too much trouble, I would just leave it squeak, other than being annoying it won't hurt anything. Also, some dryers have a compartment in the back where you can see the bearing assembly, maybe you can spray some WD-40 in there and see if it stops squeaking. The time you really need to replace the bearings is if your drum is loose, as the bearings have gone bad, not just squeaky}
You must indicate where the squeaking is coming from. If its only squeaking, move on. There's other people here with down time problems. It'll stop squeaking or stop running eventually. If it stops working, then write in!
Bumps can damage the lens. Try this.. hit the camera into your other palm stiffly. This sometimes will jar what is stuck and may re-set what is wrong. Don't do it too hard. Sometimes it may work also by putting a pad on a table and bumping the edge of the camera carefully to dislodge the jam, if there is one.
