At least 15 years old. Commercial .. i’ll have to check the model. Repair guy at dtmccall said maybe cracked motor wheel or felt on housing. Says its fixable but cant get here for a week.

Whole point of buying a SQ is the ease of fixing it yourself and plenty of available parts when it goes out.

could it be the bearings on the motor?

Fix current dryer. Did you check the fan? Remove drum and see if noise persists. If no then something with a bearing or tensioner needs to be addressed.

Could be. I would remove the drum bypass the door switch and belt switch if equipped and run it. If noise then issue is motor or fan. Is the noise fast or a slow cadence? Drum noises are slow and motor/fan noises have a fast cadence.
