How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspection.
- Check drum interior: Look for loose objects such as coins, bra wires, or buttons inside the drum and around the door opening.
- Inspect front seal and glides: Remove the front panel to access the drum front support. Check plastic glides and felt seals for wear or missing sections.
- Remove foreign objects: Carefully remove any items caught between the drum and front bulkhead.
- Replace worn glides/seals: Install new front glide and felt seal kits if the old ones are worn through.
Reassemble and test. Persistent grinding may indicate rear bearing damage.
