Possible Causes

Dryer not level, Worn or missing drum support rollers, Loose blower housing or motor mounts, Heavy items clumping in drum

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting internal components. For leveling, you may leave it plugged in but do not run it while adjusting feet.

  • Level the dryer: Place a level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling feet so the dryer is stable and does not rock. Tighten lock nuts on the feet.
  • Check load balance: Avoid drying single heavy items (like a large blanket) alone. Mix with smaller items to balance the load.
  • Inspect internal supports: If vibration persists, remove panels and inspect drum rollers, idler, and motor mounts. Replace worn rollers and tighten any loose mounting bolts.
  • Verify blower housing: Ensure the blower housing is securely fastened and not rattling against the cabinet.
