Just started making noise like the rollers aren't working.
The noise and slight vibrations are coming from the back left side of the dryer. The machine has always been relatively quiet - no so anymore.

Bruce Martin, check the support rollers (20) and make sure that they are properly aligned and that the bearing have not seized. That could cause noise as well as vibration.

Would you have a model number for this Maytag:-)?
oldturkey03,
Model # is LDE9304ACE.
Bruce Martin,
Thanks, old turkey. Where are these rollers in relation to the rest of the machine, or, where can I find a schematic drawing of this machine that tells me where to start taking it apart (I assume the back panel would be removed first).
Bruce Martin,
Take a look on here http://fixitnow.com/2003/11/appliance-ti... and check the "Maytag" paragraph. I added a step to the original answer:) hope this helps.

Thanks, old turkey - I would have started this by taking the back off first - nice to have some good info on how to fix things that I can't afford to have repaired (the appliance guys quoted me $220.00 for a new belt replacement, and I can buy the belt for $18.00. I've got all the tools in the world (30 years installing new Kitchens and Bathrooms), I've just never had the occasion to have to repair an appliance - this looks easy! Glad I ran across this site.
Bruce Martin,
You are welcome:-) all the best to you
