How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before disassembly. Wear gloves to avoid cuts on sharp metal edges.

Step 1 – Isolate the noise: Run the dryer briefly to identify if the noise occurs only when the drum turns. Stop and unplug.
Step 2 – Access drum supports: Remove the front panel and drum to expose the drum rollers, idler pulley, and glides.
Step 3 – Inspect rollers: Spin each roller by hand. Replace any that squeal, wobble, or feel rough. Use OEM roller kits.
Step 4 – Check idler pulley: Spin the idler pulley; replace if noisy or seized. Do not lubricate with household oils; use only manufacturer‑approved parts.
Step 5 – Inspect drum glides: On models with front glides, check for worn‑through pads. Replace glides if the drum rides on metal.

Reassemble with the belt correctly routed and test for quiet operation.
