Dryer produces a loud rumbling or roaring noise that increases with load size.

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before servicing.

• Step 1 – Isolate noise source: Run the dryer briefly and listen from the front and rear to determine if the noise is from the drum area or blower/motor area.
• Step 2 – Inspect drum rollers: Remove the drum and spin each roller. Replace any that are noisy, rough, or wobble.
• Step 3 – Check blower wheel: Access the blower housing and inspect the wheel for lint clumps or foreign objects. Ensure it is tight on the motor shaft. Replace if cracked or loose.
• Step 4 – Evaluate motor: Spin the motor shaft by hand. If it feels rough or noisy, the motor bearings may be failing and the motor should be replaced.
• Step 5 – Reassemble and test: After replacing worn parts, reassemble the dryer and run a test cycle to confirm the rumbling is gone.
