My dryer makes a very loud rumbling noise when the drum spins. It’s a low pitch rumble (not the high pitch squealing that I have heard with prior dryer). It still dries the clothes and functions properly, but it’s just very loud, almost as if there was a heavy object spinning and bouncing with the drum (there’s only clothes). How can I fix it?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Hi @mbialas ,
It may be a faulty roller assembly. (supplier example only to show location, how to replace and the possible cost for each one)
There are 2 roller assemblies part #K250 & K251 and it is suggested if one is faulty to replace both. Search online for 4581EL2002H to find suppliers that suit you best.

Hi @mbialas ,
What is the model number of the dryer?
Does the drum rotate evenly and smoothly when you turn it by hand?

The drum rotates evenly but I had to use a bit more force than I recall in the past to move it. It does not skip, catch or shake but it feels like it's on rollers that are making the rumbling noise, almost like a rough vibration.
