is my dryer dying and worth fixing?

I have a 14-year-old Frigidaire Gallery dryer. It's pretty basic. For the past couple months, it has been making the most horrific squeaking, squealing, and loud lower pitched noises that I can't even describe, throughout 3/4 of the drying cycle. But it's still drying fine. I think I've had it fixed in the past for squeaking; had something to do with the ball bearings if I'm not mistaken. Does this sound like it might just go kaput at any moment? Does it also sound like it's worth fixing at it's age, or should I start shopping around?

If I need a new one, can anyone suggest a good basic dryer with good capacity? I'm not looking for anything fancy, and it certainly doesn't need to match my LG washer, which is only 2-3 years old. Thanks!
