Bad Noise while changing resistance

Hey guys,
My trainer recently went out of warranty (the 2 year mark) and today I noticed it started making a sound while changing resistance.
You can hear it while riding when changing from bigger grade to a smaller one and you can hear it while turning on and doing the check. Here is a video

My question is - is there something I can do to fix this. It has never been opened so I guess I could probably grease some element inside that will fix this?

FIXED!

Nevermind...it seems having a cat around introduced a lot of fur in the big bolt setting the resistance I cleaned it, regreased it and the noice went away

When you cleaned out the cat hair, did you have to take off the mother board? Or re-calibrate? Or anything else that would make this a pain? Thanks!
