This video demonstrates how to replace the rollers on many common Whirlpool dryers, both electric and gas.  The rollers, when worn out, will cause the dryer to have excessive noise.  Once replaced the dryer will run quietly again.

While this job can be done by one person, it is a great idea to have a second person.  The drum in the dryer is sandwiched between the front and back panels, and will fall out unless supported.  Fortunately the drum is very lightweight.

ALWAYS take the opportunity, while the dryer is apart, to vacuum out any and all lint accumulated in the dryer.  Dryer lint is extremely flammable, and you'll see, especially if you have a gas dryer, that there is an open flame right nearby.  Also recommended is the use of an air compressor; there's only so much you can get with a vacuum.  By employing the use of a blow gun on an air compressor, you can force more lint out from places you cannot see, ensuring you clean out everything you possibly can.
