How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal ducts.
Excessive airflow noise can indicate loose or misaligned components.
- Check external vent: Ensure the vent hood flap moves freely and is not creating a whistling noise.
- Inspect blower housing: Access the blower area and tighten any loose mounting screws. Ensure the housing is properly seated.
- Check fan wheel: Inspect the fan for cracks or missing blades. Replace if damaged or unbalanced.
- Inspect internal ducts: Make sure ducts are properly connected and not vibrating against the cabinet. Add padding or clamps where needed.
