My dryer is less than a year old and all of a sudden when I turn it on it sounds like their are loose marbles in the drum.q

Your glides are brobably broken and missing. This will make the drum hard to turn and bind the motor. Get the front off the dryer:
Start by popping the top with a putty knife.
Get the screws out that hold the front on and take a look:

SOURCE: The dryer is making a terrible squeaking sound.
That my friend is the sound of metal to metal on the rear drum bearing. The drum has a ball mounted on the rear of it affectionately known in the biz as a trailer ball. It rides in a grease slathered plastic bearing. The bearing is mounted with a metal bracket. Over time the plastic will wear down and the ball will begin to meet the metal mount.
The mount will begin to act like a guillotine and actually eventually cut the ball off 
and the drum will fall into the heating element and the resulting massive breakdown only occurs on a sunday night. LOL

SOURCE: DRYER IS MAKING A CONSISTENT BANGING NOISE WHEN RUNNING. DRUM IS TURNING AND DRYER DOES DRY OK.
Hi,
There are several things that can cause a dryer to be noisy. There
are a lot of moving parts in a dryer that can cause noises to occur
when they get worn. Several parts support the drum, and may make noise
or vibrations when worn out. Many times a dryer will squeak just a
little bit as it first starts. This should go away in just a few
seconds. Make sure nothing is loose inside the drum. Remove the lint
trap and look below the lint trap holder for any loose items that may
have slipped through the cracks.
The blower wheel is
always moving and lint is constantly going by it. If it’s noisy, it may
have gotten clogged with lint, or it may be worn and need to be
replaced. Clean out the area around the blower. If it’s still noisy,
replace it.
Many dryers use a center spindle to support the clothes drum. This
spindle may be a ball-and-socket support, or it may be a shaft inside a
sleeve. When these component bearings get worn out, they may make a
squealing or rubbing sound. Replace this bearing when it gets worn out.
Many dryers also use plastic glides in the front end of the clothes
drum. When these glides are worn out, you may hear a lot of noise. If
the glides are worn, replace them as a set.
Some dryers use rollers to support the clothes drum. If these
rollers or wheels are worn out, they can be extremely noisy. You ought
to replace the whole set at the same time. A belt that has been damaged
or frayed may make a thumping or slapping sound as the drum turns.
The gas valve solenoid will make a buzz type of sound as it opens.
The valve itself will give a little click as it starts the heat cycle,
when ignition begins, and when the burner is turning off. The burner
flame itself makes kind of a low-pitched roaring wind sound.
Thanks for using Fixya.
