How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspection.

  • Check drum end play: Push and pull the drum front-to-back. Excessive movement or grinding suggests bearing wear.
  • Inspect rear bearing: Access the rear of the drum and examine the bearing or support. Replace if visibly worn or noisy.
  • Front felt seals: Inspect the front drum felt for wear or detachment. Replace if frayed or missing.
  • Motor and blower: Spin the motor shaft and blower fan by hand. If rough or noisy, the motor may need replacement and the blower cleaned.
