Asko Drum Roller Flat Spots / Out-of-Round Drum Support

Dryer makes a loud thumping or banging noise, especially with larger loads.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Flattened drum rollers, Worn drum bearings, Loose drum baffles, Foreign objects stuck in drum seam

Safety first: Unplug the dryer.

Steps:

Check load: First verify that the noise is not due to heavy items (shoes, belts, buttons). Run the dryer empty to see if noise persists.
Inspect drum rollers: Access the rollers and check for flat spots or uneven wear. Replace as a set if worn.
Check drum baffles: From inside the drum, ensure internal baffles are tight. Tighten screws or replace cracked baffles.
Inspect drum seams: Look for coins or small objects lodged in the drum seam or felt seals and remove them.
