Sounds like either a belt or bearing. Does it sound different with nothing in it vs fully loaded?

That dryer is a Frigidaire design, and usually a really loud squeak from this kind of dryer is a failure in the rear drum bearing. It is a fairly involved repair, but I have posted this before here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/squeaky-clothes-dryer-20960.html My description of the procedure is quite lengthy, so I don't want to type it again. Let me know if your troubles continue.
