Hi Guys, we have a zanussi dryer td260 autoreverse which is very noisy when the drum goes round, works perfect but just noisy, bearing maybe ??
is it more vibration?
the fans usually the cause of noise on zanussi dryers
the bearing can be inspected at the bac, just remove the access plate
Re: zanussi dryer drum nosie
Thanks for the reply, yes it’s more of a vibration, how and where can i get to the fans and is it easy to fit
Regards
Andrewtheyre not too bad
plug out,top off, side panel off (normally) the fan is on the end of the motor shaft
youll see if the fan is out of shape
some people take it off and run it without to seeif its quieter
and if it is that.. an email to spares@ at the online shop will get you one
Re: zanussi dryer drum nosie
Ok we have found the problem !!! took the rear cover plate off , the drum spindle come out at the rear here, it is loose ( you can push it up and down ) took off sur clip and washer then took off round plate which should hold the spindle in place with sur clip, plate cracked and worn no where to hold spindle in place, hence drum wobbling about, also spindle of drum badly worn where it has been wobling about, can it be fixed, new plate to hold spindle or is it the end ??
thanksRe: zanussi dryer drum nosie
Ok I have worked out What I need ( I think ) rear drum shaft and rear bearing, the rear drum shaft is rivioted in, so full drum out to replace ??

AndrewRe: zanussi dryer drum nosie

Ok problem solved, took front of machine off to get to the fan, plastic style fan was loose, wobbling about at high speed, nut had fallen off and was in bottom of machine, nut tightened on to fan, front of machine and sides all back on and working fine, thank you for the help
regards

If it happens again re-fit using a small drop of studlock fluid, available from all good carparts stores.
Re: zanussi dryer drum nosie
Hi
I had a similar problem. The dryer was making a loud noise that got louder and louder. I found the fan wheel was rubbing away the plastic because it was out of line. I fitted a new fan wheel, tightly, and all was quiet….heaven!
After a short while, the same noise started and is getting worse. The motor spindle that the fan fits on is slack, so drops, making it out of line. As there is not much room between the housing and spindle, I used tinfoil to even it out (strange, I know) but it worked!
It started the noise again after a while and is getting worse. Although I know what’s happening, I’m not sure what to do to permanently solve it. I would very much appreciate any ideas that could possibly help me to fix it. I suffer depression and the noise is so distressing, making me worse. I also cannot afford to get someone in to fix it.
Many thanks in advance!
