Bosch Classix condensor dryer noise problem

[grego]

Hi all,

I have a 4/5 year old Bosch Classix dryer which recently started getting noisy. The sound has got worse and worse – like a graunching/banging. So we’ve stopped using it. I can see that the 3 rivets that hold the drum from the middle have worn away at the drum housing. The holes the rivets go into have been enlarged by a couple of mm. This presumably means the drum moves around with the weight of clothes in it, hence the noise.

Should i take the top off and put some bigger rivets in the holes, or even some smooth headed (to avoid catching on the clothes) bolts? Or should i leave it to the pro’s. Or even get some kind of warranty, then call them out?

cheers for any advice,
Greg

Some sort of Crosslee-built dryer, I assume – model number, please!

You can try nutting and bolting the carrier back on, but it’s very difficult to get it true. The clearance at the rear of the drum is minute. A new drum is the only proper solution.

If you’re going to try it, make a diagram of the wiring before you start. And unplug it first……….
