Hello bovnov. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
The drum slider/glider pads are worn out and in need of replacement. Drum also may have a rear bearing in the back of the drum, if it is a full drum and not simply a rotating hollow tube.

Once on the home page, enter model number and use their search engine to find more info on that model.
An excellent source for original replacement parts is your local retail appliance parts store or do it yourself suppliers and or vendors. Appliance parts dealers stock replacement parts for all appliances. Local parts dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Retail parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers if you stop in at the store. The info will help to determine the possible problem causes.
Be sure the appliance is turned off before attempting any repairs. Always check for gas leaks whenever a repair includes any connection of a gas part, gas line or tubing or gas supply.

DRYER SERVICE TIP:
It's always adviseable to clean the entire exhaust venting system every 2 years. Or during any dryer maintenance and or repairs.
