Hi Gage, Time to take the back off and give this dryer some servicing.

 

It certainly needs the blower bearings oiled, may need a new belt or two, if it still has the aluminum motor pulley replace it with the steel one, 

 

There are other things that might be needed as well, search for rebuilding MT HOH [ halo of heat ] dryers for more information.

 

John L.
