Hi Alan, there can be a number of causes for squeaking on your dryer. The usual culprits are the belt pulley (if fitted) the rear bearing wears (see our video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqlpz6OFdsrOodo.html ) or if the machine is not level and the cabinet twists causing rubbing (pack up one or other side at the front to stop it.

We have known bra wires go through the holes, if this is the case it must be removed as soon as possible as it can damage the heater. Depending on model it is usually possible to remove the back panel and access the heater and any fluff that has built up. Excess fluff at the back can be a fire hazard so check this and replace the filter if damaged or not filling correctly.

+Harry Wilson There are a couple of things to check. carefully examine all the drum holes as you may be lucky and find a 'bra wire' stuck through one hole and be able to remove it. Second if there is a wire under the tub use a torch to shine through and find it then use a small screwdriver to get it to the base of the drum. If you then remove the heater (see another video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXd3p9WanN3gkrw.html) you may be able to remove it through the heater hole.

Hello eSpares, I have an update regarding my LG washer model WM3370HWA. I changed the control board and washer functions normally. I have adjusted the water level in the machine by turning the adjustment screw inside the machine. The washer is not fully closed up, I still have the lid and rear panel removed. Yesterday I washed 4 loads of laundry, the extended 1 hour washes. All was going well until the 4th load. No strange odors at all. Left the garage and returned after the 4th load chimed completed. Wheñ Ientered the garage there was that strange odor of burning electric again. Leaned over the machine and found the odor was coming from the Direct Drive motor. It is a burning electric smell, and the motor shield was very hot. The board was also smelling as if it were getting too hot. I understand that electricity generates heat, but I think this is a tad bit too much, and in combination with this electric burning smell, something just is not right with this machine. It seems to only occur when multiple long timed loads are processed consecutively without time to rest the machine. I have smelled this odor before in a balast for my light timer. I could not figure out where the electric burning odor was emitting from until I checked the light timer under the couch and it had a brown burned spot on it and it smelled the same as, or similar to the washer motor. Any suggestions as to what to do? HAVE ANY OF YOU ever run into this issue before? The washer now sits in the garage unplugged and I'm concerned to use it. If there is an issue with the burning smell in the direct drive motor, and this issue blew the original board on me, then should the 10 year direct drive motor warranty pay for that first board? I could not find any isssues with any of the other parts that I tested prior to installing the new board. That board is expensive and if it is a motor issue that blew the original board then LG owes me for a new board. Yeah, just try to collect from them. Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated! What should I do and am I going a tad bit off the deep end with this machine? THx Robert

I tried it on each setting (cotton-high heat, wrinkle free-low heat and no heat/fluff).

Hi Jenny, the video goes into the normal issues with noises so start there, motor, pulley, drum supports, bearings can all cause the noise you describe. Take the belt off and turn the drum and is you hear a noise then as the motor is not turning you can eliminate that and move on to the next one, good luck

Mine sounds like it’s got football boots rocking about inside! Is it the bearings as somebody told me? Is it scrap?

Hi marc, you would need to check and use the video to show you what to check, look at the motor, bearing, front rollers and fan can all cause a noise.

Could you let use here the various noises caused by different components.

Hi John, thank you for your post and that is definitely one for the future.

My dryer has a clanging noise, when it first starts up. Almost like coins are clanging inside of it. After 1-2 minutes the noise just goes away and it still drys everything fine. Any ideas what it might be?

Hi Anthony, this is a difficult one as it seems to right itself and you haven't given any model details but start by checking the drum bearing and supports.

It is a GE model about 9 years old. Do you think it is still worth opening up and trying to fix it, or should I get a new one.

Hi Anthony, as it seems to work fine after about 2 minuets it's definitely worth taking a look.

i have a ge electric dryer that started clicking whenever I turn it on or turn it off. it only clicks once each time then runs normal. I noticed a black gooey substance is leaking from the center on the back of the machine too. I just finished cleaning lint and dust from the machine, there was a lot. but what I don't know is why it started clicking. help! my machine is 10 years old and I can't afford a new one right now. is there something you can suggest for fixing this or does it need to be fixed?

to clarify the clicking didn't start until after I finished cleaning the lint out, and tried to run the dryer. I only had a yard of fabric in it not a full load of clothes.

Hi Kandrida, the 'black gooey substance' is this in the drum at the centre?, if it is it could be coming from the bearings or something that has burnt from the lint. If it is a gas tumble dryer the clicking may be the ignition tube trying to light the gas and the burner may need a clean especially if fluff has got down while cleaning it.

@Kandrida

eSpares the black gooey substance is on the outside outside in the center of the back. if I lean over the machine to look between the wall and the machine it looks like it's coming from where the drum is secured to the back panel. I live in a zero gas community so all appliances are electric only.

@eSpares

If the substance is not coming from the bearings it is possible something may have come into contact with the back and it may not be from the machine itself. We are sorry but can't think what the clicking may be, we suggest you try to listen as to where the click is coming from then disconnect the power and carefully look in that area for signs of burning or damage.

Hi Kell Loofahhh, we have no plans as we have a studio especialy for filming, we show you how to replace the parts in our videos and the only thing we don't is getting the machines out which we think you are more than capable of doing.

Josh my Samsung dryer dv350aewxaa is making a sound like a card in bicycle spokes and without clothes in the dryer I can manually turn the drum and see a gap that travels very little but remains a gap at the same area as I turn the barrel the felt gasket stays on the drum just that gap between the stationary back inside and the intact barrel ugh so hard to explain I'm sorry I noticed the drum has a wee bit of a wiggle although the belts are new looking and in place ..thank you please get back to me as I am repairing this dryer alone and cannot afford to purchase new guts in this 6 yr old dryer I've already had repairman out 2years ago,for 389 bucks I was quite devastated by the cost. I can't do that again its still new to me help me please..

Hi Tamara, OK lets see if we can help. after disconnecting the power lift the belt of any tension pulley so the motor is not connected to the drum. You then can turn the motor, the pulley and the drum separately to see where the noise is coming from. We have videos showing belt, pulley, motor and bearing replacement once you have identified what is causing the problem.

That's OK we can just go to your profile page as we cannot accept links. Your video suggests the main motor does not turn but is at least getting some power hence the buzz. This suggests a motor problem and can be caused by the motor or its control board if the drum is not seized and can be rotated by hand.

+Natasha Edwards Most common noise on Hoover/Candy machines is from the belt pulleys and replacement is shown here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXx1kryLpJynhbA.html If you replace these when the drum is out spin the motor as it is possible it could be the motor shaft worn or 'dry' and a spot of oil may extend its life.

Loud pop like a gun then dryer stops, won’t start again. It will light up but no noises or anything. Does that sound like a dryer belt?

Hi Smitty werbenjagerman jensen, it could be a number of components causing that type of noise so you need to determine where the noise is coming from, we don't know your model but if it's easy to drop the belt off so the motor is not turning the drum to test it, also check the front rollers and the back bearing.
