   • Solution: Inspect drum rollers for signs of wear. Replace if they're damaged to regain smooth operation.

2. Defective Idler Pulley:

   • Cause: A malfunctioning idler pulley can cause squealing or screeching sounds as the drum turns.

   • Solution: Check the idler pulley for damage or misalignment. Replace it if needed to eliminate noise.

   • Solution: Examine the belt for signs of wear. Replace it if it's damaged or worn.

5. Foreign Objects:
