How to fix a dryer that makes a loud noise.

You get used to the sound of your dryer running because it is one appliance that is used nearly every day.If there is something wrong with it, you will most likely catch it because it won't sound the same.It could be loud or quiet depending on the problem.

The seven parts of your dryer that could be causing the screeching will be explained in this article.You don't need a professional to diagnose it.

The drum is held in place by a bearing at the rear of the dryer.This could be either a ball or a shaft.

A replacement will be required if the rear bearing produces a screeching noise.

Rollers hold the drum of the dryer.They are usually located on the rear of the vehicle.

The dryer's drum can't turn easily because the rollers wear out over time.This can cause a screeching or a heavy knocking sound.The drum rollers should be replaced if this is happening.

Both gas and electric dryers use belts to turn the drum.As they age, they become harder and brittle.A heavy knocking sound can be created when individual sections of the belt come away.

When the dryer is fully loaded and operational, the idler pulley is used to keep the drum belt tight.The pulley is turned at high speeds so that it can break.This can result in a screeching sound or a heavy knocking sound.

The blower wheel pulls air from the heating chamber in gas and electric dryers.This goes through the drum to the exhaust vent.The plastic blower wheel can wear out in time.

Usually connected to the motor's end, it can be threaded on the shaft.Loud knocking or a roaring sound are usually signs that the blower wheel is loose.

The clothes are put in the dryer with the help of theaffles or lifters on the drum.A heavy knocking or banging noise can occur if one becomes detached.In due course, it will break off completely.

All dryers have a motor that rotates the drum and blower.The motor may produce sounds when it's malfunctioning.A loose pulley will make a rattling sound, a faulty bearing will create a high pitched noise, and a switch will produce a humming sound.

Most people pay between $100 and $400 for a dryer repair.A broken belt is one of the drum issues covered.

It is better to buy a new dryer if the repair cost is more than half of the replacement cost.The cost of a basic dryer is $300.
