Lots of clunking noises, nothing loose inside dryer, otherwise working fine. Tried to take back off but couldn't undo 3 central screws. Has a bearing gone? How do I get at the works to see??

fans break and can cause noise on these.take bottom part of back panel off (bit where vent hose comes out).lay machine on its back,4 screws on bottom hold motor in.remove them,remove plastic fan guard (remove pin and quater turn off).remove motor with fan.check fan and housing for wear/breaks.
