Dryer is 5 yrs old and has developed a terribly loud banging noise which is getting worse. Still drys ok. If I rotate the drum by hand I get the same bang and the drum seems to shift downward slightly. Any ideas please?

A kit is available from the shop to the left 😀 August 9, 2010 at 1:58 pm #327080 stash36Participant Re: Diplomat APM 8620 Dryer, banging noise Thanks, is that this item? 421309205591 – Hygena & Others Tumble Dryer Bearing Kit Also, will I be able to do this, are there any instructions with it or does it need specialist knowledge / tools?
