It may be worth checking the bearing race that the drum rotates on. As the bearings wear out they will make that sort of noise as they heat up. The last one I replaced was on a Fisher & Paykel, and I found the identical bearing in a skate shop. (The races on skateboard wheels are same sizes and higher quality than original unit).
