How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
