No need to take the bottom off - the top, front, and back come off - if the noise is a rather high pitched squeak the pads on the drum are worn out, if it sounds like a squeak but more metallic/raspy sound check the motor bearings, also check the drive belt.
bad drum bearing, bad drum teflon pads or both possibly
or both possibly or in combination the belt could need replacing
& if your not sure get a service tech so you dont do more damage
This is typical when the drive belt becomes worn and slips more than it grabs. This causes the squeaking noise you are describing. Below is a short but helpful video which shows the location andl how to replace the belt on a Roper dryer. Best of luck! Greg
Hello. The dryer has a belt running around the entire tub and that belt also goes over an idler pulley which keeps the tension correct. When you get that high pitched squeak the fix is to replace both the belt and the pulley. If you go to searspartsdirect.com and enter your dryer model number you will get the schematics for your dryer which will show you exactly where these parts are. You can also order new parts from that site if you choose. Regards, Joe
