Hello. chances are that either the belt or the tension pulley is bad. I always recommend changing both at the same time. J.

The terrible squeak is probably the idler pulley shaft spalling in the idle pulley mount. When the idler pulley siezes to to pulley shaft it spins in the mount and makes a horrible racket.

It can be the motor bearings also but I doubt it at this time. With the belt off you can spin the motor and listen for any odd sound. If you hear nothing then the problem is definately the idler pulley assy.

It is normal for the drum to float in place. When there is a problem with the drum or drum felts, you usually hear a cyclic scrape or grinding sound that is concurrent with each rotation of the drum.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Your trouble would be either a bad Idler Pulley, or bad Drum Rollers.

the dryer needs a new drum belt and bearing,.

Usually lound screeching and squeaking noises are caused by dry drum rollers. You need to lube the rollers or replace them. When I say lube the roller I mean the shaft and bearing part of the roller.
