Maytag gas dryer squealing

its the drum rollers at the rear of the drum inside the machine,they get dried out from the heat and do capture some lint,then they squeal and chatter,you need to remove the front cover and drum belt and drum to access them,then remove e-clips that secure them to the spindle they ride on and clean out both spindle and wheel center,lightly oil with a very small amount of a dry lube like silicon and replace also do this to the idler pulley as they can also squeal while you have it apart

Front or rear? Rear is probably center bearing. Fornt is front tub wheel or glide worn out. If noise is in front remove front and inspect.

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

I got cut short.. and disconnected...so if this is a repeat, please forgive me:
Dryers 101
1. Heat alone does not dry clothes
2. Air alone does not dry clothes.
3. Only dry, heated air passing over and through clothes will dry them...

I recommend the following:
Set the dryer for "Air Dry".
Go outside and check the dryer exhaust.
Confirm that the exhaust is spewing out lots of air.

If it is, then you have a need for a technician to inspect everything - in person.

If it is NOT, the you need to determine the clog - or reason that air is not moving through your dryer, clothes and exhaust system.

ONLY 2 possibilities exist:
1. Fan motor is frozen and needs replacement....or
2. Duct/exhaust is clogged with lint and will not allow air to pass through.

Please check for both, clean/clear/fix as needed.

need sbearing

Could be 2 things... either your heat source is out of repair or your vent is blocked. Since you say it only gets warm I'll assume the problem is with the gas coils inside the unit. These parts are replaceable

maytag performa dryer quit in middle of drying.

Check in the hole where the screen goes for blockage. Many times debries falls in there when removing screen. It cant make it out of the vent so it builds up and clogs the vent.

is dryer drum turning u might be amotor are some other problem you may want to call a service tech to fix your dryer ok

try replacing the solenoids/coils.
