Dryer runs but there is a rattling or metallic clinking noise inside the drum.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before reaching into internal areas.

• Inspect drum interior: Check the drum for loose items like coins, buttons, or zippers.
• Check baffles: Gently shake each drum baffle. Tighten any loose screws from inside the drum or from the rear if accessible.
• Inspect lint filter housing: Remove the lint filter and use a flexible grabber or vacuum to remove any objects that may have fallen in.
• Run test: After removing foreign objects and tightening hardware, run the dryer to confirm the noise is gone.
