My 4.5 year old dryer has already had a timer repair, done by my husband. In the last few days it has made very loud chirping sounds constantly while the drum turns, which can be heard two rooms away. It does heat. I checked all around it to be sure there was nothing that could be vibrating against or under it. If I press on the right end of the top part of the dryer and hold it, the sounds almost goes away. But I can't stand and hold it all day. We would rather fix this ourselves if possible due to other big expenses right now. My husband is very mechanical, but can't kneel on the floor, so I don't know if this is something I can do under his direction if someone knows what is wrong, and can tell us what parts to order. We are a family of two senior citizens, so it not as though this dryer is overworked. Thank you!
