Hi,

last week i tried to open the dryer in order to check out if there was a problem with my element(no heat since a month).

Because i dont have much experience in dryer repairing, i removed the 3 screws inside the dryer in the middle of the drum(what an idea!!). When i understood my mistake i tried to put them back in place. i tought i was ok, but now, when i start the dryer, drum is making such a noise!!! is it the bearing?? what can i do??

Those screws hold the drum in place on the bearings. There could have been a spacer or washer that fell out causing the loose fit. You may have to open the lid to see what's back there.

What do i have to do to open this dryer? remove the top panel?

You may have access through a bearing cover on the back. The top should swing back without having to removing the control panel. Screws or spring catches at the front hold the top on.
