Dryer Making Unusual Noise

What this symptom can mean

Unusual sounds can come from fans, motors, pumps, loose items, or other moving parts.

Safe checks

Identify when the sound occurs and whether it changes during the cycle. Avoid disassembly.

Information worth noting

Write down when the symptom began, whether it is constant or intermittent, any error code, unusual sound or odor, and whether the appliance still completes part of its normal function.

When to request repair help

If safe first checks do not resolve the issue, the problem repeats, or electrical, gas, water, heat, or mechanical risks are involved, professional diagnosis may be appropriate.
