need model # to help but I think you have the one with the lint screen in the back through the top. If you have that type you need a new idler pulley, Old type has a slide pulley and new has a roller pulley. Slide type always end up squeaking.

The model number is 110.62812101, Type is DWSR-ELE 2406028-CV54. Kenmore series 80. You are right, the lint screen is in the back through the top. Don't know what type of pully I have, but As you said, If the pully is bad, can I replace it easily by myself ? Where can I get the part ? and roughly how much it costs me? Thanks.

Look under cabinet and part 39 is what you need also while you are there get a belt and replace them both. New part will be a roller type.
UNPLUG DRYER FIRST

Take out lint screen and remove 2 screws there. Take a stiff putty knife and slide it between the top and front panel near the side and pry up on each side. Top will pop off clips holding down.(may have to use a little force) lift top up and lean back. look inside at front panel and find 2 screws holding on (near top on sides) pull up on front panel and will come off. Careful of wires to door unplug wires or just put it to the side. Hope this helps. please keep us posted on how repair went. Repair should take less than a hour. Take me about 10 minutes but done it a hundred times
