    Hi there,

    My tumble dryer has started making an irritating noise – getting much worse recently! Tomorrow I’ve decided that I’m going to be opening this up and investigating! I’ve posted a video on youtube of the sound, any help would be extremely appreciated!

    Generally the noise occurs a few minutes after turning on – drum seems fine, and still drying clothes perfectly.

    Thankyou

    difficult to know but the 2 most common noise problems are

    1 belt idler pulley
    2 rear bearing

    turn dryer around and take off the half moon cover. look at the rear bearing and see if the shaft is central

    the idler pulley is situated on the motor. to access take the right hand side off the dryer
