Do-It-Yourself Story

The roller nearest the heater housing was the culprit due to drying of the shaft lubricant after constant exposure to heat from the heater housing over the years. Because of the age of the dryer I replaced both tub support rollers, shafts, and fiber washers. I also replaced the belt and tensioner roller. The repair was pretty straight forward and aided by videos, however it did require a lot of tear down (not too difficult) including the removal of the drum. Parts were fairly easy to access for replacement. At the end there were no missing or left over parts and the dryer runs fine and doesn't make a peep!
