    Squeaky Whirpool Gas Dryer motor, shaft or blower fan
    Hello,

    The other day our whirpool gas dryer began making a loud squeaking noise that went away after using, at first. A few loads later the unit stop running, would restart briefly then stop again. After removing the panels and drum I isolated the noise to the motor. When spinning the shaft manually the noise seems to be coming from the rear of the motor assembly or possible from behind at the blower fan in back. I cannot find any place to oil or greese, my guess is the motor bearing is worn, any ideas on fixes or is this a replace?

    Buy a new motor and clean all the stray lint up in the unit. Usually a new drive belt is also in order.
