Don't even get me started about Whirlpool's tension "slide" on the Ropers.
When ever your dryer is in need of repair, vacuumm out the lint then reverse the flow on your vacuum to blow the motor free of lint. Add a few drops of lube onto the motor bearings which are oilite bushings. Any lint previously present acted as a wick sucking the oil from the bushing.
Same thing on those rear drum roller wheels - oil lite bushings, lint sucks them dry. A little bit of preventive maitinace can extend the life of your appliance.
