I took everything mechanical apart and found nothing wrong with my dryer. None of the pulleys were bad and the belt was still in good shape. I did find a couple of penny's and a dime in the bottom of the dryer. After putting it back together there was no more squeaking and the dryer is operating fine. This makes me think the problem was that a coin had gotten stuck between the tub and either the back of the dryer or the front panel that holds the door. I'm not the kind of person that purchases things over the internet I don't need so I took the dryer apart before I wasted my money. Good Luck with your Dryer, Don't throw it out because it squeaks. Thank You Joe for sharing your knowledge with us! God Bless

Had a nasty squeak from a stubborn idler and tried the WD-40 method and it lasted 4-5 months... took it all back apart, removed every single pulley and cleaned them up as well as the shafts with brake-parts cleaner and a rag and took the time to clean the extra lint out of the shell and exhaust. Lubricated the shafts, retaining clips, idler and tensioner pulley bearing surfaces and the “path” of the belt on the drum circumference with Sil-Glyde brake grease and haven’t had a chirp yet! Hope it lasts, the dryer has always had a chirp and is currently running the quietest I’ve seen yet.

Have an identical sound, though more intermittent. Opened it up and found a multitude of durrent pulleys and wheels, not sure where to check first. Hopefully this does the trick. **** I do think it's important to remind people that anytime you're inside your dryer housing, it's important to vacuum it out as much as possible. That lint buildup is where dryer fires come from. Every 2-3 years is ideal for piece of mind, doesn't take long.

Oil is also flammable. You don't need to spray an entire can, just enough to quiet the pulley down till you get a new one. Use it sparingly and if you have any that drips down, wipe it up. That pulley is far enough away that it shouldn't be a problem. If you have flames reaching that area of the dryer, you have a much bigger problem. Hope this helps!
