How to Fix a Noisy Dryer - Troubleshooting and Repairing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2016
- In this video, I show you how to troubleshoot and repair and noisy dryer. This dryer was making a bad vibrating and rattling sound. It turned out that the blower wheel was damaged and needed replaced.
The clothes dryer in this video is a Whirlpool Dryer. This repair will apply to Kenmore, Roper, Maytag and many other models. At first I thought something was lodged in the blower wheel housing, but it turned out that it was broken.
After the dryer was repair, we checked the venting and found out that it was plugged with lint. So my theory on why the blower wheel failed is that it overheated and became brittle due to the plugged dryer vent.

RIP Bill. The video he created helped me immensely, and I'm saddened to learn of Bill's passing. Thankfully, he will continue to teach and inform many others in the future; a good legacy for a talented man.

It's September 20th, 2017, I'm 49 years old and I just fixed my dryer thanks to your video. There wasn't anything broken, but while taking off the front of it we heard something metal drop. Apparently a coin somehow got stuck somewhere and that was making the noise. Thanks Mr. Bill Newberry, you just saved me some money.
Bill i hope you're reading this. I live in a small country in Africa. You've transformed my life through your informative videos. I have grown my reputation in home appliance repairs;you have made my livelihood fruitful
Good for you but he will not be able to read this. He died years ago
@@Syuhada88sad to read that, what happened to him?
Man, so sad to hear Bill passed away. Fortunately, I had some paper lodged in my blower wheel so I was able to just remove it without having to order new parts. This video helped tremendously! RIP Bill!
Ooh so sad it is! This man changed my business
He looked young, calm, knowledgeable & had things under control. How do you know & what happened?
This was spot on. I had to do the maintenance kit on a relative's Kenmore (Whirlpool made "110" model prefix) dryer and I suspected that the blower wheel may have damage after watching this video. Sure enough, both the maintenance kit and the blower wheel were an issue. This video was right on the money. Even after Mr. Newberry's passing, his videos continue to help others.
RIP, Mr. Newberry.
RIP Bill..Thank you for all of the help you have given others..will pay it forward.
Pez Zep??
What happened?
Thank you Bill, you helped many of us DIYers. RIP!!
Steven why did u say RIP? Did he die?
Omg I didn't know he passed away!!!!, may he rest in peace
How do yall know he passed away?
Great informative video, thank you for posting it. I heard something running around inside the dryer. It was a chipmunk as it got in through the vent. I placed a black plastic bag around the dryer vent and turned it on and he ran into the bag. He appeared dead but had lint stuffed in his nose and my wife took it out with tweezers and he recovered and ran away after a minute.
You saved me $50. Opened it up and found a pair of school scissors in there.
That was truly OUTSTANDING! GREAT video and step by step trouble shooting plus repair.
Many thanks!
Once a year I take the outside cover off and use a leaf blower from the inside to blow out the dryer tubing. Mine runs across the house for about 20 feet (solid tube, not ribbed), so stuff builds up pretty quick :) Clogged vents can cause quite a few issues. Glad to see this guy only had a broken blower fan!!
Nice, I image the dryer in this video will dry faster than it has in a while. I'd like to see the lint fly out when you crank up the leaf blower! lol
excellent! Brings me back to the days when I worked on them for Sears
Thank you for posting this! I have never fixed anything to do with belts but today I got a little compact dryer that wasn't spinning/tumbling. I sat there for 3 hours trying to figure it out I watched your video and literally copied what you did with the belt and pulley and it started spinning! Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Bill died in 2016
@@homemadefood7197 Aww man I didn't even know 😔☹
I had this problem. I am so glad I watched this video first. Very good editing.
This guy is awesome! I have a whirlpool dryer also and I bought it in 2000 it's been a good machine but if not for this guy it would have been to the curb a few times! Thanks bill !
You make it look easy! You doing that in a two foot space is for the pro! The tension wheel alone! It doesn't stay put you put the drum in it falls out lol great job as always!! I don't comment a lot but I'm watching !
+juiced71 Awesome! Thanks for the great comment! I did get lucky with the idler wheel lol
Excellent, to the point show of how to do repair. Good job !
Thanks! Got what I needed in the first two minutes.
great repair video. sourced the root cause of the issue and not just repairing the issue
RIP buddy...I wish you could know how much you sill help people.
How do you know & what happened?

Dude, it was exactly what I needed to see... In my case the rattling was just odds and ends (nails, golf pencil, etc...) ... Thanks so much !
Nails, golf pencils? Lol
bill died in 2016
Good video, Thank you this might fix my dryer.
This video helped me so much! I was able to find and fix the problem in no time first try. Loved that you even went into detail a bit putting things back together. Thank you!
Rest in peace, you will be missed. My deepest condolences to your family
Awesome video. Turns out one of my rollers failed, bits of rubber wheel were everywhere.
Awesome thanks for helping me save money!
Thank you Bill, great video and very helpful. my dryer is working good but is making a squealing / grinding noise that sounds like a bearing is dry or worn out, now I have to dive into it and find out. Thanks again.
My Whirlpool dryer was making the same noise. One of the rear rollers that support the drum was bad. They come in pairs and you'd be well advised to replace both of them even if only one is bad at this time as well as replacing the drum belt. It may save you from doing the same work over again if and when the second roller goes bad or the belt breaks.
Thank you. Just saved me a service call and a bunch of money.
Excellent video.
Thank You this video was very helpful
Thanks and good follow through on the plugged vent. But I was thinking earlier that the insides should be vacuumed out and the vent hose cleaned.
good one! bearing squeak usually is the noise, but yearly look at that outside vent opening for blockage!
Beautiful!
Nice job!
Why do you guys make this stuff look so easy!!???!
After a few times it becomes easy, I’ve had to take my dryer apart 5-6 times for belts and this last time I had the job done in 20 mins
Video was much help. Thanks.

THANK YOU !!!!!
Omg thankyou so much !! Mine had a stupid sock in it! the noise was terrible !
Good tip about checking the external vent exhaust trap door...
very interesting
As a 74 year old lady i fix my dryer from your you tube how to do it. Thanks.

I have a Maytag Legacy dryer that I have replaced drum rollers, idler wheel, checked Motor shaft for end play and there is none. I've spun the motor shaft by hand and it free wheels like a ceiling fan. Front drum guides are good. I've checked blower fan and all fins are in good shape and no wobble on shaft. Vent flex hose is clear all the way out! Still getting a loud roar while running and sometimes it sounds ok. Baffled. If it was something obvious I'd have it repaired by now. Had it apart twice and am stumped.
I am new on here. So sorry to hear that.
Thanks Bill! Just might be the same problem I have!
Hey Bill, You had my attention when I saw you. I love a man that is bold enough to shave his head and say that it. Great smile and eyes. Ooops I was looking in the mirror. Seriously , this video helps me so much. I swear it is the same noise. I am a fix it or toss it kinda guy. My partner is an analytical kinda guy. My dryer vibrated about 24 inches from the wall after I had reconnected the venting which was shite. Doesn't seem so bad when you spell it that way. None the less I digress. GREAT video. The Edward is sleeping and it is 3:21 in TORONTO. I think I will just take off the back and look at the blade. Sorry for the long email but I want you to know what I am doing. Cheers my Friend. D
Karcher has a Pipe Cleaning Hose kit for 50 bucks that can be modified with some fittings to work with a compressor for duct and dryer vent cleaning.
Those blower wheels don't shatter that easily. I've seen people drop junk into that lint vent like pencils, coins, marbles, etc. I'll bet there's a Dennis the menace in that house.
Nice video! I have the same noise problem but my dryer is a kenmore elite. I want to fix it myself. I dont if its worth it.
Thank you ！RIP my man
Thank you very much for this and the Maytag Dryer Breakdown video. Helped me greatly to find the issue with my dryer

I was able fix my dryer after watching the video. I by passed undoing the front went straight to the back to check fan and it was full of 20 years worth of s... lol. Cleaned it and cleaned the back. Done. Ty very much. I love you tube.
I opened my dryer tonight it was super loud and rumbled. There was a dryer sheet stuck on the wheel and I had to remove caked on lint. Runs quiet now.
I'm new to your channel
I have Roper washer machine and the start pouch botom switch broke how can i change it?
Question for you: Have you ever heard of a dryer making an "expansion bang" noise? Like the metal inside the dryer is contracting and expanding, and making a loud bang noise? Our dryer has been doing this ever since we bought it last September. The manufacturer just keeps saying it's "normal operation". It makes the noise about every 5 to 6-1/2 minutes, until it gets thru to the cool down cycle. Thanks!
OMG!!! My dryer was sounding like a jet engine from the back, I removed the belt and when I started it it sounded worse, need to check that blower, maybe it's stuck, the pulley on the motor won't turn either since they are both connected? Again OMG, reading the comments to see Bill passed away, is really for true? I'm stunned as I just saw him on the vid and he looks real good. Bill are you there?
Did he for real??? Omg bless his heart 💔
RIP Bill ! lol thanks
Can you do a video on how to get those white pesky wire connectors with the double tabs apart.
He was young. Just born in 77. Rip.
Good video but that music made me think I was going to have to become a headbanger and I'm 69!
I guess that's why God arranged for us to lose most of our hair (as I've done by age 70 this year) Not capable of headbanging the mane, in the main, I thing it flew to Maine in the last SouWester. Hold your head up and be proud you can still fix dryers too. I have to wonder how he died also. Looks like nobody picked up on it.
I'm 67 and I liked it! Honestly, you old guys....
:D :D
Agree. The music was Annoying.But the video was great.
Lmao
I have to look at my dryer because it dances and makes loud noise oh and my washer is making noise as well I'll check after this videos thank you
Great vid! Did you replace the belt as well?
I have a rumbling sound (Fast boom boom boom but not very loud), any ideas what it could be. Hotpoint TV HM80
Couldn't find the link to get the dryer to the open stage
Hi Bill, have a frigidaire stackable washer dryer combo, dryer VERY squeeky. Which part do I need?
So what are the symptoms of a bad blower besides loud
I'm surprised they didn't have a problem with the high temp limit or heating element going out with the clog.
I found a wooden mixing spoon in one of those before lol
Anyone know how he passed?
What is the name of that broken part?? My dryer has the same problem and need to order the part help please?
I really need help understanding i watched a bunch of videoa going over problems but non exactly like mine to tell me what to do or whats exactly wrong..I have a Amana 2008 front load electric dryer as of yesterday if i push start on any cycle with any type of load it starts make a super loud roaring noise and wont stop till turned off pleas help me..thank you just need and idea where to start or what to do..
Interesting clip! My daughter's is sounding like a freight train.
Bill where can I buy a replacement motor for a dryer any websites that you have in particular??
Nice hat! Go Penn State!
Well the dryer still work with one fin missing ??
RIP Billy. He died one month later after this video on Oct 24
Took my dryer apart and noticed I don’t have a idler wheel it just has a plastic slide. Wouldn’T this cause the belt to get hot ?
Ive got a 4kg HAIER that sounds like a fog horn constantly DRONING id smash it to bits but its the only stupid thing that fits in our laundry. Any idea what i should look for?
i will give that a try am i just doing the same continuity test with the multimeter or is there a different way I have to do it?
Same test, continuity.
Bill Newberry ok perfect thank you ill test them and let you know
hi i need some repair support for my top loader washer can you help me
thanks
So was the motor shot or it was just that the fan was broken?
Yeah I don't think I CAN FIX THIS now
Does anyone know how Bill Newberry passed away.
Please comment. Thank you.
You will be missed so much Bill, Greatest man on earth..
Not sure but he passed away in the hospital www.legacy.com/obituaries/centredaily/obituary.aspx?pid=182144907
Would that hospital be "Mount Carmel Hospital" which is just north of the vacant lot shown in Google Maps where the "Mount Carmel "Members only Fitness Center" emblazoned on Bills Tee Shirt. Curious. He seems perfectly healthy in the two year old video.
@@lichin11 thank you
0:14 BOMB GOES OFF!
which kind of bil
What if it’s a front loader?
Great video, because of the explanations included, especially the root-cause (lack of duct maintenance! I suspect the thumbs downs from those hooples who don't do duct maintenance...they deserve what they get!), good demo and editing...not so hot on the distracting headbanger music either...but I'll get over that... My dryer works, but squeals like a pig until it warms up (I suspect idler or one of the roller bearings is on the way out), so I'll have to take mine apart soon to check and repair. I'll be back after that...
sounds good :-) LOL
Grate video, froud $5.25 in coin in front that drum moving around. No more nosin .
