Remove the access cover to the inner parts of the dryer. Get a piece of
automotive heater hose about 2 feet long and while the dryer is making its
noise, put one end of the heater hose to your ear and move the free end of
the hose around to where the noise seems to be coming from. This will help
you isolate the source of the noise fairly precisely and you can then
replace or lubricate the part(s) that are causing the noise. I use the
rubber hose method regularly to isolate the sources of engine compartment
noises on cars and trucks.

My Maytag clothes dryer is about 15 years old. Lately I have noticed
that although it still dries clothes normally, there is a noise that
sounds like something is rubbing in the motor. It is a hiigh pitched
noise. Any ideas what this is and is it something that can be fixed by
a homeowner with moderate fixit abilities
