We have a Maytag dryer that began incessent chirping today. It's driving the
wife crazy. Any suggestions where to start?

Thanks in advance.

Two ideas:
1) Support rollers (most likely)
2) Motor (less likely).

Good luck!

I'll go with idler pulley as #2.

>2) Motor (less likely).

If I was pulling it apart, first I'd buy the support rollers- idler
pulley & some lube. [get it from the parts place- it is a special
high-temp lube that doesn't attract lint]

Once it's apart they are fairly cheap and easy to install.

I fixed it (at least temporarily) by taking off the front panel and
shooting WD40 on all the rollers and pulleys. Hey, what's the deal
with all the spam on the group? Makes it darn near useless.

The belt. Adjust tension/apply belt dressing.
