  • This video shows a Samsung dryer that is vibrating like crazy and making a lot of noise. Service tech replaced idler pulley (a common problem) but that did not help. The actual problem was the blower wheel. Replacement part is readily available at low cost. The repair requires on a few common tools and -- if it's just clumped lint then there is no cost to the repair (other than time).
    It goes without saying but my lawyer would probably want me to remind people to PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! THE AUTHOR OF THIS VIDEO ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED!

    Brilliant video. One of the best “how to” video I have seen. Had a similar vibration on my Samsung dryer although it is a different model than in the video. After looking at the video, I decided to check the blower to see if it that was the problem. Took a bit to figuring out how to get to the blower since mine is a different model, but eventually got to it. The blower wheel and duct leading to it, was completely clogged up with lint, tissue, and dryer sheets. Cleaned everything out and reassembled all the parts. The dryer is now working like new. Thanks for saving me the cost of a service call, and perhaps buying a new dryer as, like you noted, the technician might have changed everything else in the dryer and not resolve the problem.

    I'm not tough enough to hit with the palm of my hand so I used a rubber mallett to get the top part lifted ever so slightly and then felt for the clips with a butter knife. When I found them, I pushed in with the knife and gave it a wack or 5 with the rubber mallet. Thank you for making this video.

      Yes that's pretty clever. Actually for many people, just removing the screws from the back might be easier or more reliable. It was inconvenient for me to do so, and so I just went in from the front...

    Thanks for this video. We searched high and low for information regarding opening up the front of our Samsung dryer model No. DV50F9A7GVW/A2 The one on this video is exactly the same as ours. Our problem was a noisy, vibrating operation. Being confident it was excess lint build up in the wheel, we wanted to fix it ourselves. We are a 75 year old husband and wife. With your guidance we were able to open the front, remove the blower cover plate and clean out the wheel. Problem solved! Great video!

I cleaned the blades and it works like new. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. It is a shame that these dryers aren't better quality.

    Great video, thank you for taking the time to make and upload it, just solved our vibration problem. Ours was due to softener sheets and lint stuck in the duct and fan thanks to guests who broke our lint trap.
    Just a thought, but I'd bet your fan deformed when it was overheated by using a crappy low cost dryer duct, that jenky collapsible type that coils back and forth behind the dryer for 700 miles before exiting the house. I used a semi-ridged duct when I bought this set and it flows so much more volume of air without much if any resistance. My $.02 YRMV.

    • @WilliamBennerJr
      @WilliamBennerJr  Рік тому +2

      Thanks for the note. I think what caused my blower wheel to become deformed was a duct that was clogged with lint. On that house, the duct vented to the roof instead of the side of the house. The roof vent had a mesh which was easily clogged with lint. After this repair, I had a company come every so often and clean the vent.

      Oh, gotcha! Yeah, I rented a townhouse with an insanely long dryer duct that literally went into the concrete foundation, made a 90° bend and came out the front in the flower bed. Kid you not it was probably 50ft total length. When we moved in I bought a brand new W/D set and the dryer failed to dry my clothes after running a full cycle 3x. Turned out in the week we didn't have a dryer, my kids shoved plastic balls from their ball pit into the vent and they were out front stuck behind the little grate like lottery balls, lol!

My vibration was so loud even with the door closed you can hear it throughout the house. They never call to reschedule and left me hanging and last week I got fed up and found your video. Took my dv56h9000gp/a2 dryer apart similarly and found me wheel gunked up with thick lint all on one side, I peeled it out and cleaned up my fins and vacuumed everything down there from years of never opening the unit in a household of 8. Spun my drum and the wheel was luckily spinning well balanced, added a few strips of butyl rubber sound deadener strips where some metal on metal would contact and make noise, put it all back together and it’s almost like new. Almost whisper quiet. Such a relief!! Thank you so much for showing me the insides of a Samsung dryer, I wish I would have known this sooner

    I suspect the heat of the lint and air as it passes this wheel -- because of the cheapness of the plastic -- warps over time and becomes imbalanced which caused the vibration. A metal wheel would be much more effective, but the way this wheel is designed it guarantees a service call and added revenue to Samsung. Hopefully this video, which is EXCELLENT, will put the power to resolve back in the hands of the consumer.

    Thank you for the great video. You are a natural teacher - your voice is clear, the presentation is well organized, and your cadence is perfect. Thank you also for calling out the supplier because many of us rarely purchase appliance parts and knowing who a good supplier is helps a lot. Two of the rollers on my 4-year-old Samsung dryer failed causing a clunking sound. The rollers on my machine are plastic wheels with metal self-lubricating bushings which rotate on iron axles. The lint soaked up the lubricant and eventually, the bushings and axles were destroyed. Hopefully, the rollers on your more deluxe machine have sealed bearings that will last much longer.

    This was the exact problem with my 2020 Samsung- i needed to use a bolt-type wheel puller, threaded into the two holes on either side. (Harbor Freight item 62620, $16.99). I was surprised to see how much lint passed the trap and settled onto the fan wheel. Thank you for the excellent video!

    Thank you for this very helpful video. My dryer’s blower wheel was not broken or warped, but it was totally clogged with lint and 2-3 dryer sheets that were stuck on one side. After using a toothbrush on the fins and a shop vac on the loose stuff, the vibration was gone after reassembly. Thank you for taking your time to help others with this highly effective and easy to follow tutorial.

    I’m curious if the original nut/bolt you removed from the blower had loctite. I personally think it’s overkill for this application. The left hand threaded connection is designed for that very purpose; to prevent the nut from backing off the bolt. In other words the rotation of the blower will cause the bolt to turn in the direction that will tighten the bolt into the nut.
    By applying loctite you are only making it more difficult to remove the nut the next time you have to do this job.

      I'm sure the original one didn't have loctite, but I'm also sure the original one was on much tighter than I made it. Loctite doesn't really lock the nut really tightly per se, but rather keeps it from walking off. I'd be able to break the bond of loctite with the socket wrench more easily than I was able to originally break the bond.

    The tip on opening the dryer alone was worth its weight in gold. I found a hair/lint ball the size of a cat in mine... no cats were harmed but the dryer returned to normal after removing it. Thanks for this video.

    This video saved me so much time and probably a major expense as well. I had the exact same issue but my problem was lint build up in the wheel causing loud operation and excessive vibration. Now it runs whisper quiet by comparison!!! Very few other resources like this that gets straight to the point and the tips and shortcuts work perfectly. Cost me nothing but time.
    Thank you!!!

    My gosh, ppl never cease to amaze. I. Had no idea the comment section could be like this. I've only read a few of them and I've only watched a few seconds of the video so far I'm going to scroll through some more and finish the video but I just had to say that it is amazing to see people being nice and respectful and sincere and not trouble so you must have done something right well done both people commenters and you on your Channel

    I replaced the belt, tensioner and rollers due to a rumble, and now I am starting to think this was the true issue. I ended up taking the fan wheel out and cleaning it anyways and lone behold, no more loud rattle. Thank you for this video.

    Excellent! Big clump of lint. Runs great now. I found that removing the hinges made it a lot easier to pop the top off and on. Put them back on when I got the front popped off and then removed them again to get the lid popped on again. Thank you!!!!

    • @WilliamBennerJr
      @WilliamBennerJr  3 роки тому

      Yes, regarding the hinges I agree. In my case, getting behind the dryer was more problematic, so operating from the front was preferable.

    Thank you so much for the video! I have an all electronic version of the dryer (Samsung model DV50K8600GV/A3, manufactured April 2016) and it disassembled exactly the same way you showed it in your video. The only thing I did differently was to disconnect the quick connect plug on the front door assembly so I could get it out of our laundry room and out of my way. I was luckier than you were though, as my issue was caused by a huge build up of lint on the blower fan blades, creating an imbalance. Once I cleaned it all out, it worked perfectly. There was no more vibration. Again, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this video!! I truly appreciate it!!

  • @markcohen903

    Your video made me the hero in my home. Our Samsung Dryer was loudly vibrating and something was rubbing inside. When I took off the fan-wheel cover, every blade on 1/2 the wheel was loaded with lint. I even think the Bounce Dryer a sheets made the lint and the plastic fan material sticky, be vise I couldn’t just vacuum it out. I had to use a toothbrush to free it and remove a residue on the plastic. Once reassembled, quiet as new! Thanks so much!

    Helpful video. In my case, the blower wheel was so caked with lint, it threw the wheel off balance. No need to remove it. Just clean and vacuum it out and noise gone.

  • @tracygibson3196

    Thank you so much for posting this video. My dryer started making that horrible noise (mine seemed even louder) along with the vibration this morning. I will be ordering the part and hopefully my son and I can get it done. 🙂
    Update: It turned out I did not need the part (yay). I texted this link to my son. He watched it and followed your directions and was able to fix the dryer. Once he unclogged it, removing all the lint, a pencil, 17 cent, a plastic token and a few other things, it was good as new. Thank you!

      @WilliamBennerJr  4 роки тому +2

      Glad it helped Stephani! Yes, in most cases it's just a clogged wheel. I was a bit surprised it wasn't the case for mine, but actually if mine was so simple, I probably wouldn't have made this video.

    THANK YOU!!!!!! As a stroke of luck our washer AND dryer started acting up on the same day. The washer is a work in progress but, thanks to your video the dryer is back in service. Luckily ours was just lent in the blower thing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!! You have saved my day and a most likely, price service call.

    No new fan required.

    I have the same issue. Same issue as my last dryer as well, but I didn’t want to replace the fan as it isn’t a wear item, so the problem continued until the fan impinged upon the housing which caused a hole in the housing. I dictated the hole. Really this Samsung is much like the old style dryer, it just has a water line and a computer. And it takes an hour and a half to do jeans.

    • @WilliamBennerJr
      @WilliamBennerJr  5 років тому +1

      Yes, although washers have really evolved, with direct-drive motors and such, I am really surprised to see that dryers have not changed much in something like 40 years.
