Tumble Dryer Making a Strange Noise?

Grinding, Squealing, Rattling or Banging Sounds?

A squeal usually means worn drum rollers, an idler pulley or a drum bearing. Thumping points to a flat spot on a belt or roller, and rattling to a coin or zip caught in the drum. Our technicians find and fix the noise at your home in Harare.

Why Is My Tumble Dryer So Noisy?

A steady hum and the sound of clothes tumbling are normal. A squeal or screech usually comes from worn drum rollers, the idler pulley that keeps the belt tight, or the rear drum bearing. A rhythmic thump is often a belt or roller with a flat spot. Rattling or scraping is usually a coin, button or underwire caught between the drum and the front seal.

Our tumble dryer repairs technicians replace rollers, pulleys, belts and bearings on Defy, Bosch, Samsung, LG and Speed Queen dryers. Record a short video and book a repair.

What Noise Is Your Dryer Making?

Squealing

Worn drum rollers, idler pulley or bearing.

Thumping

A flat spot on a belt or roller.

Rattling or scraping

A coin, zip or underwire in the drum.

Grinding

A worn motor bearing or idler pulley.

Loud hum

A struggling motor or blocked fan.

Common Causes of Dryer Noise

  • Worn drum rollers
  • Worn idler pulley
  • Worn rear drum bearing
  • Belt with a flat spot
  • Coin or underwire in the drum
  • Worn front drum seal or felt

When to stop using the appliance

Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.

What Can You Safely Check First?

Empty the drum and check pockets, zips and bras before every load. Turn the empty drum by hand: a gritty or squeaky feel points to rollers or the bearing. Check the dryer stands level.

How We Trace Dryer Noise

The technician runs the dryer, opens the cabinet and checks the rollers, idler pulley, belt, bearing and front seal, then replaces the worn part.

Worn drum rollers or the idler pulley are the most common causes, followed by the rear drum bearing. They are replaceable parts.

Why does my tumble dryer thump?

A belt or roller with a flat spot, often after the dryer has stood unused, or a heavy item such as trainers in the drum.
