How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before opening any panels.
- Check load: Stop the dryer and redistribute the laundry. Avoid drying single heavy items (e.g. one large towel) alone.
- Inspect drum baffles: Open the door and check the plastic or metal baffles inside the drum. Tighten any loose screws.
- Check rollers and seals: Access the drum supports and felt seals. Replace rollers that are flat-spotted or noisy, and felt seals that are torn or missing.
- Test run: Reassemble and run a cycle with a normal mixed load to confirm the banging has stopped.
