Amazing!! My dryer was making the loudest noise ever and approx 4 yrs old. I watched your video and my husband agreed to try before we called someone to look at it. So glad we did and we’re able to fix it!! The amount of lint is insane and felt amazing to get rid of it! Thank you thank you! I can finally dry clothes while staying home or being inside without the noise getting to everyone!!
I was amazed how easy our dryer was to disassemble and clean, thanks to your tutorial! Like others, before calling the repair shop, gave it a shot to check the blower....30m later, amassed a basketball of lint and hair from the assembly. Yikes! Runs good as new again! Thank you!!
I have this same dryer, and this was my exact issue - followed the vid step by step, and I'm just so happy it's "nice and smooth" once again. The rumbling was driving me crazy!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I couldn't (or wouldn't), have done it without it!
We had the same exact noise. I did the whole front of the machine removal. It’s amazing how simple it really was. The blower was packed solid. I cleaned it all out and reassembled it easily. It works like new again! Thankyou.
Thank you very much. You saved me a service call. I had already taken the back off when I found your video so I put my arm up the metal lint vent from the back and was able to reach the blower fan that way. There was a ton of lint just sitting under the fan. I then could even spin the fan with my fingers and wipe the lint off each blade. Now my dryer is quiet again. Thank you!
It works thanks! Some suggestion's you can remove the cover over the fan, @6:30 mins. It’s easy 3 screws, much easier to clean the fan blade. Also use wd40 to lube the suppporting wheels bearing
This! Thank you so much for the video! We have a 3 year old dryer making the same noise and not drying our clothes completely. Your instructions were very easy to follow. We had a lot of lint (no baby socks to my surprise haha!). After cleaning and reassembly, it is fully drying our clothes and the noise is gone. I was able to do this by myself in about 1.5 hours (I had a toddler to entertain as well). Thank you!
Thank you! The noise from the dryer has been driving me crazy. Followed all of your steps, cleaned out the lint from the blower, and it is running like new again!
I have the same dryer, making the same noise, I watched your video, thanks, and surmised it was likely the same issue, (less the sock). Looked closely at the front of the disassembled machine on your video and due to the semi built in nature of my laundry room I decided there had to be another way, ie not taking it all apart. So I removed the plastic lint assembly, (4 screws), you can then see the blower with the aid of a flashlight, so I bent a piece of wire to fish the lint out of each individual vien, (about 2 cups worth), with the help of a custom made skinny vacuum cleaner hose, (paper towel cardboard tube). Worked like a charm, 30 minutes later, it was all back together, running quiet as new!
Thanks for the video. I followed your advice and cleaned out the blower fan, and the noise has stopped. And with all the lint I recovered, I'm going to knit myself a sweater. Win, win.
I was really nervous about doing this but your instructions were great! Putting the dryer back together took 3x as long as taking it apart (the screws are so finicky!). But the important thing is that it worked! Thank you so much
Man thank you sooooo much!!! Bought this unit en 2016 and 4 years later I was in the fear that I would need a new kit... Bought the pieces at a local repair shop and now it feels and dries like a new! Plus the filter is 10000x much better!
Thank you for the video tutorial! I was dreading having to do this but it turned out easier than expected and ended up with a melon sized ball of lint and dryer has quieted back down. I will say getting the bulkhead and drum back together was a little bit of a challenge and required some help. I "upgraded" the lint filter to the new clamshell design a few years back but seems lint still sneaks by and loads up the blower just not nearly as quickly as the old flat design. Thanks again!
I want to thank you. I had this same issue with my dryer and I did what you did verbatim in this video. Now my dryer works like it did when it was brand new. No socks were in there,but the lint was horrible.
Thank you very much for this video. I have the exact same dryer with the same issue. Because of your video I was able to complete the repair in less than an hour and the problem is fixed.
I followed your directions and my dryer sounds like new! I'll be doing this procedure more frequently now that I know how packed the fan blades get and their effect on noise and drying.
Excellent video! Very detailed. The visual and verbal instructions were super helpful. My dryer runs great after following the instructions on your video!
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Thank you, this video was very helpful. What is the part number for the new blower fan where they have fixed this apparent design flaw?
As a repair guy, if you are out of warranty you should use garment bags for small articles of clothing to save yourself from doing this. If you in warranty just have guys like us come do it for you n just relax 😂
This helped me, we have had this dryer for four years now and I took out a large amount of lent built up from the fan inside. Made a huge difference. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video! I was able to pull out the lint trap/filter and see the blower fins. I could see lint in the bottom of the fins. I found an 18” piece of 3/4” clear vinyl tubing and duct taped the tubing into the end of my vacuum. Sucked it out in between each fin. Got it cleaned out and dryer is back to normal! I didn’t want to disassemble if I didn’t have to!

After reassembly, I still heard a metallic scraping noise. I noticed the side panel was dented in, causing the drum to scrape the side panel when spinning. I pushed the dent out and that fixed it. Clean blower fan, no more lint and no more scraping - it works like new again. Thanks for the video!!
Just did this this morning!! Thank you so much, our dryer had lint in between all the fins of the blower. Dryer sounded like it was about to die, massive vibrations and grinding-like noise......., two hours later it runs like new!!
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I actually found a video that showed how to upgrade the old dryer with the new parts that Electrolux has used to "improve" this issue,....., parts were around $150 and it took an hour to again take dryer apart and then replace the parts (lint tray grate, lint tray, blower fan). All good now.
Kind of looks like a poorly designed fan, I have never seen one so clogged at only 2 years but thanks to your great directions I now know how to fix it when it happens again. Thanks so much.
Anyone with this style washer - try this fix! I thought for sure the awful noise my dryer was making was something super serious towards the back of the machine. Decided to clean out this blower fan since there wasn't anything to lose. Running perfectly after removing about 4 cups of lint. I chose not to remove all the panels and instead used a long, flexible little grabber tool and patiently removed the lint between each blade.
Thank you so much for this video. My dryer keeps stopping with the Check Lint error being displayed even when it’s totally clean. I’m replacing the control board with the aid of this video, but I also thought that I’d check the fan as well, but I’m having problems disconnecting the lamp connector. I’ve studied the part in the video, but most of it happens off screen. How do you separate them? Thanks.
Thanks! You saved me lots of time and maybe money with this easy but not obvious fix. I wanted to send $5usd but $10cnd almost makes it, after 30% exchange and Google taking 30%. Good luck and thanks again. Darrel.
Hi. My washer and dryer to big to fit down my basement stairs the measurement is 27in across and my washer and dryer is 27 1/ 2 and I was wondering if I could take the front off the both and try to get them down that way if its possible can you show me how to remove the front panel on the both thank you.
Just what I needed, the fan was full of lint, two years old. Looks like when the machine was assembled the felt gasket in front of the lint trap is not put on correctly. Didn't notice till it was all back together. I guess in two years when I take it apart I will fix that. Thanx for the video.
@Hans Ard Funny.. I've found there the same, baby sock. Actually I've done this right away, once my wife heard the noise and the sock was just stuck there.. so that method (removing only plastic part - 4 screws) was perfect for me.. Thank you for the video, thank you for all the comments..
Just did this to our dryer, which sounded like an airplane at takeoff.. Worked like a charm and it's quiet again.. No socks just build up in the fins of the blower..
Thank you for the video! My dyer is a different model but I managed to clean the lint out, however it keeps making that rumbling sound, is there anything else that could be causing that rumbling noise?
I just tossed out this same model it was the worst. My repair guy told me if if ever stopped working to get a new one after the warrenty expired. I got the new model and it looks like they solved the lint screen issues. So far so good. They are a real pain to take apart just to clean the blower. Also I was afraid it would catch fire some day the way it collected line inside. My model had the heater burn out I think.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel The panties made the drum stop completely, and after I ripped them out through the vent opening, it was making a high pitched whine, so it was the dryer sheet that was doing that, so nice and quiet now.
They updated the blower wheel on this model and made it with a different material to prevent the issue from reoccurring.. I work on these a lot for this exact issue
Thanks So Much Thadon. Just did an install of the new updated wheel last week. I Hope That You Can Become A Member of Our Channel😊👍 Here’s a Membership Link: ua-cam.com/channels/7fBqy8806u1r0NpPv_fQ2w.htmljoin
Scott, I have a 16 year old Electrolux Frigidaire unit I have done multible repairs on watching your videos. I am having an issue I can not seem to diagnose. After unit is running and fires up(gas), after about 90 seconds it starts to make a faint rumbling sound which progressively gets louder until it is real loud. Drum spins and make no noise after I shut unit off. Heats and dries the clothes no problem. I checked the blower and it was free and clear/clean. When unit is off the drum spins and no noise. Any suggestions?
Hi -- updating my former comment. I never was able to get the top to fully come off (when I pushed up on the tab of the blue wire thingy -- it snapped off) so I kept it connected and placed it ontop of the dryer as best I could. Long story short (needing to order vampliers in order to release some REALLY tight screws in order to take the bulkhead off) I got it off and removed lots of lint as you said. NOW - I am having LOTS of trouble putting it back -- I think this is a 2 person rather than 1 person job. The barrel is collapsing on me and I can't get the bulkhead in alignment to screw it back together. Any advice? Thanks.
Any suggestions as to why after putting the dryer back together why the light won't work and the the drum wont turn. Double checked that all the connectors were locked in place and the display panel is working.
We have an electrolux dryer and it has the spring style door latch. We have to lift the door then push it to latch. Do you think it could be the hinge or the door latch causing this issue?
Thank you for your Great question. I think it’s the hinge but, Please Click Here to Join Our Channel so I can Give You Live Comprehensive Help to Get Your Machine Going Strong Again: ua-cam.com/channels/7fBqy8806u1r0NpPv_fQ2w.htmljoin
Any advice on how to easily remove the blower wheel on these? it says REMOVE --> turn clockwise, but the whole motor axle spins with it....what's a good way to stop that and be able to get the wheel out to replace it with the newer wheel model? I know I'm probably missing something, so any help is appreciated!
Great question. I grab the motor pulley with a pair of locking vice grips and as I turn the blower wheel the vice grips push against the cabinet and keep the motor shaft from turning.
Thank you so damn much. This was my exact dryer and my exact problem. Turns out there were ROCKS in the blower. That’s what you get with toddlers. 🤷🏻♀️
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve had to vacuum lint out of my blower (and rocks, ugh) and therefore needed to rewatch this video. I’m so tired of this machine. I wish there were a permanent fix.
THANK YOU!!! My dryer was super loud. So loud I could hear it upstairs in the bed room. Took me forever to get the thing back together but it’s quiet and normal again :)
Antoinette Williams Hi I was just watching this video and came across your comment, my wife says to make sure the washer door is left cracked open when not in use. You can run an empty cycle with bleach or they even make washing machine cleaner. Most importantly leave the door cracked after it’s cleaned. It seems like if it’s closed when not in use, it will begin to mildew because it’s all sealed up. Hope this helps, have a great day.
Hey I saw this video as my airdryer was doing the same we opened it up but when we got to the blower there was no lint and after putting it back hoping that it would fix back it still made the noise I was wondering if you knew if anything else could be wrong with it I really don't want to have to spend money I mean all that hard work I feel like we can fix it ourselves.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Ok thank you I'd also like to mention how before this happened the lint holder inside the dryer how came off which caused a few socks to go inside the blower housing I'm pretty sure one was accidentally left in but as I mentioned we opened it up I was expected it to be there but it was no where to be found we tried looking into the vent hose it was no where to be found and we tried that as it was spinning to open it and it did stop we we'd assume it was that so we were confused no lint was found it was clean but if you have any videos on his to replace the dryer support rollers that would be great and thank you for the video we had a hastle but at least we tried 😅
Thanks!
You bet!😊
Thank you so much for this fix, So glad that I had help putting it back together. :) Take care and stay safe!

You made my day. Thanks for posting.
Shame for electrolux selling faulty tumble dryers.
I did the same thing. It worked. The lint filter on these dryers is a poor design and doesn’t catch the lint effectively.
Excellent advice. I use a One gallon shop vac .
Thanks for the video. I followed your advice and cleaned out the blower fan, and the noise has stopped. And with all the lint I recovered, I'm going to knit myself a sweater. Win, win.

Can you send that same question to my email? At: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
This is the 2nd time in 6 years I’ve had to do this. What I can understand is how so much is getting past the lint filter.
Scott, I have the same issue. My dryer is still making the same noise. What could be the issue?
Do you know why it keeps. Clogging I’m seeming to be doing mine once a month and thank you for the video it’s how I’ve learned how to do it
They make a new filter for your model that can get rid of that problem 👍
I just tossed out this same model it was the worst. My repair guy told me if if ever stopped working to get a new one after the warrenty expired. I got the new model and it looks like they solved the lint screen issues. So far so good. They are a real pain to take apart just to clean the blower. Also I was afraid it would catch fire some day the way it collected line inside. My model had the heater burn out I think.
That’s so good to hear that. They solved the problem of Lint building up on the blower fan.
Thanks for the vid, I found some panties and dryer sheets in mine, I think it's because the dryer was run w/o the lint filter in a time or two.
That would do it😂
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel The panties made the drum stop completely, and after I ripped them out through the vent opening, it was making a high pitched whine, so it was the dryer sheet that was doing that, so nice and quiet now.
They updated the blower wheel on this model and made it with a different material to prevent the issue from reoccurring.. I work on these a lot for this exact issue
Thanks So Much Thadon. Just did an install of the new updated wheel last week. I Hope That You Can Become A Member of Our Channel😊👍

Scott,
I have a 16 year old Electrolux Frigidaire unit I have done multible repairs on watching your videos. I am having an issue I can not seem to diagnose. After unit is running and fires up(gas), after about 90 seconds it starts to make a faint rumbling sound which progressively gets louder until it is real loud. Drum spins and make no noise after I shut unit off. Heats and dries the clothes no problem. I checked the blower and it was free and clear/clean. When unit is off the drum spins and no noise. Any suggestions?
I’ve seen that when the gas coils are starting to fail.
They’re pretty cheap👍
Hi -- updating my former comment. I never was able to get the top to fully come off (when I pushed up on the tab of the blue wire thingy -- it snapped off) so I kept it connected and placed it ontop of the dryer as best I could. Long story short (needing to order vampliers in order to release some REALLY tight screws in order to take the bulkhead off) I got it off and removed lots of lint as you said. NOW - I am having LOTS of trouble putting it back -- I think this is a 2 person rather than 1 person job. The barrel is collapsing on me and I can't get the bulkhead in alignment to screw it back together. Any advice? Thanks.
That’s a good idea to get another set of hands to help you.
Any suggestions as to why after putting the dryer back together why the light won't work and the the drum wont turn. Double checked that all the connectors were locked in place and the display panel is working.
It’s got to be a couple of the wire connections are loose👍
We have an electrolux dryer and it has the spring style door latch. We have to lift the door then push it to latch. Do you think it could be the hinge or the door latch causing this issue?
Thank you for your Great question.
I think it’s the hinge but,

Any advice on how to easily remove the blower wheel on these? it says REMOVE --> turn clockwise, but the whole motor axle spins with it....what's a good way to stop that and be able to get the wheel out to replace it with the newer wheel model? I know I'm probably missing something, so any help is appreciated!
Great question. I grab the motor pulley with a pair of locking vice grips and as I turn the blower wheel the vice grips push against the cabinet and keep the motor shaft from turning.
Thank you so damn much. This was my exact dryer and my exact problem. Turns out there were ROCKS in the blower. That’s what you get with toddlers. 🤷🏻♀️
Nice job Cola,
Never heard of rocks in the blower😂😂
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve had to vacuum lint out of my blower (and rocks, ugh) and therefore needed to rewatch this video. I’m so tired of this machine. I wish there were a permanent fix.
THANK YOU!!! My dryer was super loud. So loud I could hear it upstairs in the bed room. Took me forever to get the thing back together but it’s quiet and normal again :)
Excellent ,
Thank you
Scottthefixitguy do you know anything about the washers and how to make them not smell?
Antoinette Williams
Hi I was just watching this video and came across your comment, my wife says to make sure the washer door is left cracked open when not in use. You can run an empty cycle with bleach or they even make washing machine cleaner. Most importantly leave the door cracked after it’s cleaned. It seems like if it’s closed when not in use, it will begin to mildew because it’s all sealed up. Hope this helps, have a great day.
Louis Ievolello thank you! I will try leaving the door open. I’ve tried the cleaner alone, but it doesn’t seem to work that well.
My dryer started making a rumbling noise after i changed the dryer belt for some reason any suggestions on what it could be?
Scott, I think we're dealing with this now. It is also squeaking while running in addition to the loud rumbling noise. Did you notice any squeaking?
I think it’s the plugged up blower wheel and a Squeeky idler wheel.
Hey I saw this video as my airdryer was doing the same we opened it up but when we got to the blower there was no lint and after putting it back hoping that it would fix back it still made the noise I was wondering if you knew if anything else could be wrong with it I really don't want to have to spend money I mean all that hard work I feel like we can fix it ourselves.
I’d say it’s the back two support rollers are worn out.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Ok thank you I'd also like to mention how before this happened the lint holder inside the dryer how came off which caused a few socks to go inside the blower housing I'm pretty sure one was accidentally left in but as I mentioned we opened it up I was expected it to be there but it was no where to be found we tried looking into the vent hose it was no where to be found and we tried that as it was spinning to open it and it did stop we we'd assume it was that so we were confused no lint was found it was clean but if you have any videos on his to replace the dryer support rollers that would be great and thank you for the video we had a hastle but at least we tried 😅
