Maytag gas dryer makes squeeking noise

The front or rear tub bearing is going out.

A loose belt will allow the drum to slip when clothes hit the paddles in the drum. It sometimes sounds like a pair of tennis shoes are in the dryer when it slips and is usually rythymic.

These machines also use drum rollers that can make a racket when they go bad.

Good luck.

the maytag has a bearing made if a cloth material that is at the front of the drum. when this wears down drum is grating off the metal drum support, hence the grinding sound. the bearing is fairly straight forward to replace.

My Maytag Performa gas clothes dryer makes a scratching noise for the first few minutes when turned on, then it goes away.
