This is an info request from some of you pros...I have SQ 30# stack dryers (1 1/2 years old) and they buzz while they are in operation. A maintenance man tells me there is dryer lint collecting on the exhaust fan but the buzz remains even after I clean the fans. Am I not cleaning well enough or is there another problem? This comes at a time when my faith in SQ equipment is dying quickly...

Wait till you have to change a belt, you will need faith then.
The buzz may be the tin/metal housing in the back getting motor vibrations. To test this theory try holding the housing in different areas while the dryer is running and see if the buzzing changes, or goes away.
If it is, you need to tieghten screws, maybe put in some nylon washers, etc.
