Hi ikp619,
I understand you are having trouble with your Frigidaire laundry center squeaking when using the dryer. There could be a few different culprits to this noise. This may be because of a belt, maybe some lubrication is needed in the pulley area. Regrettably, this is not a simple DIY job as the requiring working in the rear of the dryer. I am fairly confident that an authorized service agent will be able to restore your appliance to its normal operating condition. You can often locate a qualified service technician on the manufacturer website.
