Do-It-Yourself Story

Dryer is a 30 year old Maytag, so I replaced all parts that could cause the noise, as it is so old and never had anything done to it. Replaced the bearing plates, both drum wheels and shafts, and replaced the belt while I was there. Watched a YouTube video to get started and then just replaced the parts. The bearing plates had to drill out rivets but the new plates came with the new rivets. Cleaned all the lint out and put it back together and is like new, no noises. Could last another 30 years. Paid about $100 for all parts and they were factory replacements so I know got good quality to last like new. For 2 hours of work and $100, much cheaper than replacing it with a new one, and this has always been a good machine. Very happy with parts purchase.
