Why does my dryer squeak Maytag?
This often stems from a worn-out idler pulley, which puts tension on the dryer's drum belt to prevent it from slipping off during a cycle. Accessing and changing your dryer's idler pulley can be a straightforward but extensive process.
Why is my dryer squeaking when it's running?
The dryer bearings and motor need to be replaced.
A faulty motor is usually identified by squeaking or grinding sounds, not by a burning smell. If the squeaking sound is coming from the back of the dryer, a faulty motor or bad bearings may be the problem.
