All wet

The clothes dryer has been making a strange squeaky noise this past week. Everything on the Net that pertains says it's most likely a roller bearing which either needs to be oiled or replaced. Considering the age of the dryer (10 years?), replacement of the bearing and the drive belt is the most likely scenario. It works so far, but it would be best to take care of the problem before the machine gives up the ghost.

OS attempted repair yesterday, but when I found him in the laundry room unscrewing things and trying to figure out how to get the back off, I thanked him kindly and told him a repairman was on the way today.

He fumed a little about how much that would cost ($200 or $300, Mom!) but if he accidentally ruined something in his poking around it could cost much more. If it will cost several hundred dollars to repair it, I'll buy a new one instead.
