Dryer makes a rattling or metallic clinking noise during operation

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before searching for objects.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect drum: Check inside the drum, especially around baffles and seams, for coins, buttons, or other items.
• Check lint filter area: Remove the lint filter and inspect the duct below for objects.
• Access blower: Remove the rear or lower front panel to access the blower housing. Remove any foreign objects from the fan and housing.
