The dryer squeaks when it runs. When I manually turn the drum it squeaks less. There were greasy spots on a few clothes a while back, but it may have been from a new detergent. At first the squeak was only with heavy loads like jeans. Now it is all the time. Can I buy a part to fix? Would this be difficult for a one woman repair? Is there a way to tell what problem is or would I likely be fixing many things? Apx how much would it cost to repair on average if it is most likely issue?

Thank you for your help :)

I just found a small piece of plastic (similar to a plastic locking tie) sticking out of the upper inside of dryer towards the front. I tried to take a picture. I don't know if this helps or if I should upload it.
