My ancient Kenmore dryer started making a horrible grinding noise last Tuesday
I pulled it out, took the back panel off, and found the idler pulley was totally shot, with the wheel wobbling on its shaft. I ordered a new one for $28 from AppliancePartsPros.com and swapped it in about 20 minutes. Has anyone else had a dryer pulley fail after, like, 15 years?

Oh man, that sound is the worst... my old washer's belt tensioner gave out last year with a similar metal-on-metal scream. Felt like a hero fixing it myself for under forty bucks.

Seriously, @the_seth, that DIY win feels so good when it works.

Used to think calling a pro was the only way. Now I get why you guys fix stuff yourselves, that feeling is unbeatable.
