In Our Repair Services

Modern appliances are designed to be quiet and efficient. Dryers work soundlessly in the background ensuring the users aren’t disturbed as they carry out their daily activities. When your dryer starts making loud, unusual noises, it is often an indication of something going wrong. You need to call a professional to examine the appliance and find the root cause for a noisy dryer.

Why Is the Dryer Being Loud?

There are several reasons for dryers to make unusual noises. Different types of sounds are an indication of different kinds of problems. Here’s a look at some of the most common causes:

  • Squealing and Thumping Noises – These often happen when the rollers that hold the washing machine drum in place are worn down. The drum won’t roll smoothly, and that will cause a squealing or thumping sound during operation. Changing the rollers usually fixes this issue.
  • Humming or Rattling Noises – Humming is an indication of a defective switch or winding in the machine’s motor. Rattling happens if the pulley system has come loose. You may also hear a squealing noise that’s often an indication that the bushing or bearing needs replacement. 
  • Loud Thumping or Roaring – This loud noise happens if your dryer’s roller wheel has developed a problem or is damaged significantly. Don’t use the appliance if you experience and let professionals fix the noisy dryer first.

Don’t ignore any loud noises or rattling sounds from the dryer, especially if you can’t trace its origin. Sometimes the machine makes strange noises because the barrel is coming in contact with metal buttons or other such clothing accessories.
