This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

Possible Causes

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal inspection.

Inspect drum interior: Look for rough spots, rust, or residue on the drum surface. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Check drum seals: Examine front and rear felt seals for wear, tears, or contamination with grease. Replace if damaged.
Inspect rear bearing: If grease is leaking from the rear bearing, the bearing assembly may need replacement.
Remove foreign objects: Check the gap between drum and front panel for coins, clips, or other items that could snag and mark fabrics.
