The kit number you are looking for should be #4392065.

The belt doesn't usually make noise, the idler pulley does occasionally but the rollers are usually responsible for the bulk of the noise/squealing

Maintenance Kit 4392065 Order now for same day shipping. 365 day return policy. Repair Clinic

On your model it almost always is the idler pulley making noise. Most likely you have the slide type and will be replaced with a roller type. here is a break down of dryer and part is #38

Look in cabinet, PJmax has the whole kit, Which is good but I almost never had to change rollers on that model. 1 or 2 drops of light oil on shafts is all that is needed. Take rollers off and clean all hair and lint stuck .
