The drive belt is worn out. The drive belt is what turns the drum of the dryer. If it is worn out, it can start to squeal as it rubs against the pulleys.
The idler pulley is worn out. The idler pulley is what helps to keep the drive belt tensioned. If it is worn out, it can start to squeal as it turns.
The dryer drum bearings are worn out. The dryer drum bearings support the drum and allow it to rotate smoothly. If they are worn out, they can start to squeal as the drum turns.
The dryer lint screen is clogged. If the lint screen is clogged, it can restrict airflow and cause the dryer to overheat. This can lead to squealing noises.
To troubleshoot the problem, you can try the following:
Check the drive belt for wear and tear. If it is worn out, it should be replaced.
Check the idler pulley for wear and tear. If it is worn out, it should be replaced.
Check the dryer drum bearings for wear and tear. If they are worn out, they should be replaced.
Clean the dryer lint screen.
If you have checked all of these things and the dryer is still squealing, you may need to call a professional repair technician.
Here are some additional tips to help prevent your Maytag Brovas dryer from squealing:
Clean the lint screen after every use.
Inspect the drive belt and idler pulley regularly for wear and tear.
Replace the drive belt and idler pulley as needed.
Lubricate the dryer drum bearings every few years.
Avoid overloading the dryer.
Do not overload the dryer with heavy items, such as wet towels or jeans.
Use the dryer's moisture sensor to help prevent overdrying.
By following these tips, you can help keep your Maytag Brovas dryer running smoothly and prevent it from squealing.

Note: If your dryer is "Screeching," this could be a different problem. The felt seal around the drum may have failed. Check out this post to fix a "metal-on-metal" screeching sound coming from your dryer!
This roller bearing repair takes a couple of hours one evening or on the weekend. Order the parts kit ahead of time, and have the tools handy, and you won't have any problem finishing this repair in several hours, less if you consider yourself handy.
Please Accept my answer by providing you with the best possible solution. Would be more glade.
