A dryer like this should be good for 20 to 40 years, the screeching is usually just the idler pulley, after as much use as this dryer had I would pull it completely apart clean it lubricate it and replace the idler pulley if that’s what’s causing the noise.
As to whether it’s worth fixing or not? It depends who’s fixing it and how much it’s gonna cost or if you’re doing it yourself, a new dryer like this is nearly $1000 you make the call, you should be able to fix it yourself for less than $50. John |
