Hoover Nextra Mega Load HNC175 Condenser Dryer squeaking Loudly?

Whilst using my dryer it starts off OK but after about 10 mins it starts to make a very loud & annoying squeaking noise, i suspect that it may be a drive belt needing replacement, if anyone has had a similar problem & could advise me on how to repair this it would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.

I have the same issue and have stipped it down to a point but am unable to stip the fron of completley. Have taken the fron off but there is still the internal front piece holding on to the fron of the drum which is stopping me fromgetting in to pully system to grease.

How do youget tht off. I have removed the 4 bolts but it will not lift and can not see anymore bolts / screws holding it in it just will not lift out

I also stripped, re greased as above and squeak now sorted. My compartmented tray was brilliant for keeping track of the many screws taken out ----- until it fell on the floor.

I had the same problem with my HNC175. I stripped it down re-greased the drum bearing cleaned and oiled the belt pulley/tensioners removed the belt, cleaned it and refitted it. It worked but not the easiest of jobs if you havent done one before. Maybe one to leave to the experts.
