Dryer produces a loud banging or thumping noise, especially with small loads.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal inspection.

• Check load: Stop the dryer and redistribute the clothes. Avoid drying a single heavy item alone.
• Inspect drum baffles: Open the door and check that internal drum lifters/baffles are secure. Tighten screws or replace loose drum baffles.
• Check rollers and bearings: Remove panels and inspect drum rollers and rear bearing (if fitted). Replace worn components.
• Level the dryer: Ensure the dryer is level on the floor. Adjust feet as needed to prevent excessive vibration.
