Dryer makes a thumping or banging noise as the drum turns, especially with certain loads.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the dryer before inspecting inside the drum.

• Check the load: Remove heavy items like shoes or large belts. Dry them separately using appropriate accessories if recommended.
• Inspect drum interior: Check that drum baffles are secure and not loose.
• Check rollers: If noise persists with an empty drum, inspect the drum support rollers for flat spots and replace if necessary.
