The dryer hasn't been drying well for a while, but now it squeaks badly when it is tumbling clothes...doesn't do it so bad with just a couple of things. The drum feels loose, will rock back and forth when you push on it...could this be a belt problem?

It is not likely to be the belt.

It sounds like the drum glide may be worn.

This is what the drum slide on.

It could be the idler pulley squeaking.

You will half to take the dryer apart and see if these things are worn.

Here is a link to the parts of your washer/dryer model 417 98702891.
