bradnovic newbie Registered: 05/28/06 Posts: 7	An extremely loud screeching sound is coming from our Maytag Dryer. Sometimes it momentarily goes away but inevitably returns. It is extremely schrill. I've opened it up and can reproduce the screech by pushing on a metal flange on the rear side of the drum but don't know why it squeals.Pushing in on the drum produces it as well. Any ideas on how to fix it????

Maytag has built many different styles over the years. http://www.applianceaid.com/model-number.php Some model# helps.
