My dryer squeals when I first start it. I use the dryer quite frequently so it does not sit idol. After the squeal stops it usually does not squeal again, except once in a while a very slight squeal. What could it be?

Lights on the top come on, but the dryer will not run.
For model number WED5500XW0
Hi James, thank you for reaching out. We have found that the issue is with door switch, part number PS11741701. It prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. You may need to replace the switch to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts. So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading. I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart. Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.
Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.
The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.
