The blower shaft bearings. On the opposite side of the control panel, down by your feet. This needs grease regularly.

This needs grease regularly.

recommended by M&R to grease with high-temp grease (Mobile Mobilith high temp lubricant) weekly.

It will probably come back. I suggest you read the manual and follow the lubrication procedures.

Go to store.mrprint.com and register your dryer. You can then download the owners manual or anything else related to the dryer that you should have like a wiring diagram.

If it's your blower shaft bearings and you haven't been greasing them then they are likely shot, possibly along with the blower shaft. 

Either that or your blower motor needs to be replaced, a dying motor here can also cause some noise.

For now, when greasing those bearings- do it while running, add the grease slowly and do it until clean grease is flinging out of the bearings.  And definitely start doing it according to the PM schedule.
