how do i oil the bearings in my dryer?

My 6 year old Fisher & Paykel Sensor Dryer turns over when i press the button, and turns for a second then stops. i press it again and it turns the opposite direction and stops after a second again. I have been told it is the motor or the Bearings (that the shaft goes in to) just need oiling. I am not sure where these are. This has slowly happened over 6 months, sometimes stopping mid cycle.

Hi, if the bearings have failed, you will have noticed some sort of nasty noise like squealing or loud rumbling. Also, these bearings are probably the sealed type and cannot be oiled (they are pre-packed with grease) Could be worth checking the drive belt tension first and then have the electrics tested by a qualified domestic appliance engineer.
