Dryer Squealing, Thumping, or Grinding? Same-Day Dryer Repair in Ottawa & Gatineau

Common causes of a noisy dryer
- Worn drum support rollers. Flat or seized rollers cause a rhythmic thumping or rumbling as the drum turns.
- Failing idler pulley. A worn idler pulley bearing produces a loud squeal that often rises with drum speed.
- Worn drum glides or felt seals. Worn front glides let the drum scrape, causing a grinding or scratching noise.
- Failing drive motor. A motor with worn bearings can hum loudly or grind.
- Loose object or worn belt. A coin in the drum or a frayed belt can also cause knocking or thumping.
