SOURCE: squeaky dryer

Depends how technical you are. More than likely it is the rollers (depending on who made the Kenmore). Go to www.apwagner.com and you can get the parts there. Or if you are unsure about taking it all apart, call for service.

SOURCE: Kenmore 70 series dryer making loud rattling noise, drying ok

it could be a worn motor bearing, but they usually last for 20 years, i would guess that you have a worn drum roller, the thing that holds up the drum and looks like a wheel.
if your sure the motor has a worn bearing then replacing the motor is not easy as you have to unscrew the blower wheel from the motor shaft.
it also may be that you are talking about the idler pulley being worn. it is the device that holds tension against the belt and they also will wear out and be "wobbly"

Kenmore 90 series makes a loud noise during spinning and it looks like the basket is loose

On most Kenmore or whirlpool dryers, you have two wheels that have rubber around them. They look like wheels off of rollerblade skates. They simply bolt on to the back, but you have to usually put a large piece of wood to act as a fulcrum as you support the weight of the drum and change out the two wheels. Check with searspartsdirect.com for the parts prior to taking the dryer apart. I had a machine that sounded like tennis shoes were rolling around the drum and fixed the issue by simply replacing these two wheels.

Good Luck

It could be possibly your rear roller bearings expanding with heat causing them to not spin as freely? Im not really too sure but its an idea you dont have many moving parts on the unit. Just your idler pulley, blower wheel, and rollers. Hope this helps.

The dryer is making a loud noise. Think its the

the belt that spins the dryers drum around has a belt tensioner located at the botton base of the body. If the roller bearing goes bad the sound you hear is caused by that. Replace the belt as well when replacing the roller or the whole tensioner if needed
