You're a genius. I short cut the disassembly and fished all the lint out with a bamboo skewer and a coat hanger. Took the filter out, manually spun the lint out and carefully removed the huge glob. My wife is happy I didn't take it apart. Thanks again man!!!!!!!!!!
The EXACT fix for our noisy dryer. Your goal was to save people some cash if they didn't mind a DIY and you did just that! Got a quote for $95 for repair tech just to come to the door, I don't want to know how much it would have cost me to have fixed, and that's assuming the tech who would have come out didn't try to upsell me a blower. Thank you VERY MUCH for your awesome post!!!
We had that same rumble on a less-than-3-year-old dryer. No sock ingested, but lots of lint clumps had gotten past the that poorly designed filter unit (which we clean *every* time). We didn’t have to disassemble the dryer, but were able to reach into the blower housing after removing the filter unit, and pull out lint clumps with fingers and a thin vacuum hose. Rumble gone. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
You are a Magician. I found a sock in blower housing..!! My Electrolux dryer started making noise and its only a year old. I googled about this problem and your video popped. I show your video n first i thought its too complicated to open it n will call a service guy. But before i call for service, i decided to just remove the lint catcher n look at the blower, and when looked with my cell phone torch there i found my kids sock there. I Unplugged the dryer and tried to pull the sock as it was stuck in blower. It was hard for me but my kid has skinny hands and she nicely pull it out. I started the Dryer and guess what...The Noise is gone...!! 😀😀😀😀😀 Thank you so much...you saved my time and a costly service call.
That was exactly the problem, we removed about half a pound of lint from the blower fan. Thank you very much for this helpful video. The problem must have been developing for some time without anyone really noticing until the dryer started to shake the walls loose in the utility room. We're off grid in the wilderness and have very hard water, so the lint can be tuff. We'll have to do this maintenance every couple of years. This place is an hour from the nearest small town, so there aren't any appliance techs who will make the trip. You saved the day for sure.
Thanks for posting the video! It helped us identify the issue since our machine was making the same noise. However, we avoided removing the front and top panels. Simply removing 4 screws that hold the lint clam shell (the piece the filter slides into), gave us enough access to get to the blower motor, remove a ton of lint, and resolve the issue. Might save some time and effort for some.
Thank you for making this video. I can't believe that this was the only thing wrong with my dryer, it was so incredibly loud, and started shaking recently too. It was only lint in mine, but probably twice as much as you removed from this one.
Thank you Scott! It was exactly the problem. I found a dryer sheet in the blower. When I put back together, I received an E-91error code. I took the front door off and saw that I did not plug in the top harness all the way. Plugged in-put back together. In business, no more rattle. Excellent!
Omg thank you so much. You just saved me so much time, stress, and money. I took out the lint trap and was able to see the end of a sock sticking out of the blower. This definitely solves the age old question of whether dryers do in fact eat our socks.
Amazing video. This was exactly what was wrong with my dryer. It wasn’t a sock but a ton of lint. Took me about 1/2 hour to fix start to finish. This video made it easy. Thanks for the quick fix!!!
This was exactly the problem I had, which was very tricky. Rollers were fine, axles were fine, belt was fine, etc. Crazy built up lint in the fan assembly, cleaned out and and voila! Good as new. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you!!! We've had this dryer for 30 days and with covid no one was going to come trouble shoot it. Just as you described I found a small children's mit in the blower. Pulled it out and its running like a top!!
Exact problem except that I had string caught behind the blower and shaft making my noise. Pulled the Drum then removed the blower from the motor shaft, using vice grips and a large channel lock. Thanks!
It worked like a charm. Lots of lint through all the blades. However, this looks like a deficiency for this dryer. I've had LG's where I simply clean the lint screen and don't have this problem. Surprisingly the dryer vent hose wasn't that bad.
Thank you for this video! My Electrolux dryer started making the same sound as the one in the beginning of your video and cleaning out the blower motor in fact solved my issue and the dryer sounds like it's new again. I will note, I did not find a sock or anything like that in my motor, however, there was a TON of lint covering all the blower blades which must just happen with the design of this dryer even cleaning out the lint trap religiously. Thanks again!

You really saved us waiting 2 weeks for the repair guy and a nice bill (I'm sure). We had the same noise, but ours was much louder and sorry to say but we didn't think this would work for us. HOWEVER, it works like new now after cleaning out the blower section thing. The dryer is not really that hard to take apart, but when putting it back together, needed to hold the sides together a little to get the front panel to align properly. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for the video!. Dryer had been sounding horrible for months. Followed your steps and now it’s much quieter. Didn’t find any fabric or baby socks, just a bunch of lint. I guess I’ll have to do the same thing in another 3-4 years. Cheers!
Thank you. These were very helpful instructions and our dryer is quiet again! The blower was completely full of lint. Getting the door panel back on was definitely a two-person job. We had a challenge getting the drum back into its proper place. Other than, pretty simple for mom and 12yo son. Thanks again!
Great video! SHORTCUT - if you remove the lint plastic cover with the four screws, I was able to fit a vacuum cleaner nozzle in the opening and suck out all that lint from the blower, just keep spinning the fan slowly and clean until lint is gone, you have just enough line of sight to see and get it done. Vibration gone!
Thank you for posting. This was super helpful and spot on. No sock but the blower impeller was jam packed with lint and we clean the filter after every load. This is obviously a defect in the lint filtration My dryer is only two years old! I cleaned the felt gasket on the lint filter but I have a feeling I may be looking at this video again in another two years. Until then, thanks again!!!
Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post this. Our machine was making the exact same noise and with the help of my son, we followed your instructions and our dryer is quiet again. I don’t know how much this would have cost to have someone come in and look at but I have no doubt you saved me a few hundred bucks. 😊👍🏼
thank you very much for making this video. We thought are drying was dying! My husband and I followed your instructions and took the dryer apart and the lint (which was a huge amount) was exactly the problem. Our dryer now runs perfectly and absolutely no vibrating. We are very happy!!!!
Great video. This worked for my dryer. Now the only problem is the front panel has these ghost lights for some settings (heavy duty / normal / less / wrinkle release) that never turn off. I’ve been trying to disconnect / reconnect the blue wires but nothing seems to work.
I am hearing a rumbling as well and also have had to run multiple cycles to get good results. I found your video and am hoping this is the problem. Thanks for the upload!!
Thank you so much for this video sir! You saved me a good penny and even better, one less complaint from the wife! This is exactly what was wrong with my dryer. The rumbling noise was SO LOUD that I was sure the rollers were completely worn but it turns out it was just a crap load of lint stuck in the blower. I can't thank you enough!
Wow! Thanks! A lot of work for a bum like me but it fixed the problem. Great video and commentary, super helpful! Almost called the guy and dropped a couple bones but instead I fixed it and the wife is going downtown tonight. Thanks again!
Thanks for this video! It helped me fix my dryer in a little over an hour. In my case there was no sock, just lots of lint. The dryer sounds like new again!
Thank you for this video. I can't help but think this is a design flaw. My dryer started getting loud after less than 2 years of relatively light use. It got really noisy recently and following the instructions in this video I found only lint, hair and a bit of thick thread. We use and clean the lint screen with every load. Why would so much lint build up in the blower?
Another satisfied viewer here. I felt good right away when he demonstrated the sound. Was an exact match to our Electrolux dryer. No sock in our blower, just a metric ton of lint. The buildup was unbelievable. You mention a new "new filter housing available from Electrolux" in a response from 9 months ago. Can you provide a link or part number for the new filter housing? Seems it must be related to the entire filter mechanism as simply too darn much lint is getting through.
Thanks so much. The A-holes from Electrolux screw us once more by charging over 300.00 for the retrofit: www.partselect.com/PS470306-Frigidaire-5303937125-Blower-Wheel-Kit.htm
I haven’t taken off the back yet but our dryer is brand new. It’s been noisy since we first plugged it in and all the transportation securings were removed. The ticking happens when it starts to heat up and on the right side. I literally am tired of taking these things apart 😂
Thanks for this helpful video! I had the same noise issue, cleaned out the blower/fan just as you recommended and the noise is gone. Thanks for saving me a service call!!

Thank you for this video! I just followed your instructions and HA! I found a small runners sock in the blower + lots of lint. It was exactly as you showed. I put everything back together and dryer runs fine now. Bravo! And your right - it made me feel great being able to do this myself. cheers.
This was very helpful and was the exact problem I was having. Other than having to remove the front panel twice because I forgot to connect a wire, this video was great.Thanks! Scott 🇨🇦
Just finished this project, also replaced the lint screen and grill assy with the improved version. Important note: I found a TON of lint in the exhaust duct below the blower housing, enough to reduce airflow significantly. Most of it could be vacuumed out be removing the exhaust connection in the rear, but honestly I still think its a good idea to do what was done in this video and get the lint out of the blower housing too. Thanks again!
Hello Scott, so my dad and I did your exact steps and we reassembled everything back to place. So now it turns on but when we hit Start, it doesn’t do anything besides beep 3 times. Any suggestions on what we need to do?
This is exactly the noise I've got going on with my Electrolux dryer! Hoping one of my little boy's socks is the culprit. I'll report back once I have the chance to get into the blower housing.
Fantastic info. I woulda never thought to look there first. I was able to access the blower by just taking off the plastic shroud that the filter slots into. It was snug but I was able to get down in there with the hose from a portable shop vac. So much lint built up everywhere inside there. Thanks for saving me a lot of time and effort.

Thank you so much. Very helpful. I personally had a bit of challenge getting front cover back on but disassembly and cleanout went exactly as you described. Thanks again.
It seems this is happening a little too much, maybe it’s a defective design? Anyway, I have the exact same sound. I’m excited to dive in within the next few days, thanks so much!
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance I just wanted to provide an update; following this video made the process extremely simple and fixed my problem! Thanks so much!
Did you mention anywhere what model # this dryer is? I didn't see that info & I'm just wondering due to my dryer needing repair or maybe just cleaning. Thank you in advance for your time & expertise! It's greatly appreciated!
Fixed it and now 5mos later the sound is coming back again. Curious if Electrolux has recognized this flaw and provided a fix so this doesn’t become a twice yearly disassembly.
We got a brand new Electrolux dryer yesterday. On the first load I was drying, the rumbling, vibrating noise went through our condo wall and disturbed even our neighbors ! Since there's no lint build up, what else could it be ? It's under warranty, so we'll have someone come out. You believe it could be the roller ?
We got electrolux washer and dryer a month ago and this is the noise we are hearing, we are having someone come to look at it, is there a way to stop the lint from building up like that? I clean the lint trap every couple of loads so am confused how this could be a problem🤔
The repair man gave it a thumbs down. Great video! Fixed my 7 year old electrolux dryer that's been driving us crazy for the past month. I'm a cabinet finisher so lots of lint and more than likely fine saw dust.
I have one that's making a rumbling noise after replacing the rollers part of the noise went away the blower fan turned easily so I put it back together and thought maybe the tensioner so I disconnected the tensioner and belt and it still made the sound so I'm thinking the motor is bad
Actually the blower was cracked which was causing the noise. Unfortunately the motor and blower were one unit and would not have been worth it to replace so I trashed the dryer.
Ugh i wish it was a quick and easy 5 minute fix. Looks more like a Sunday 6 pack project. I'm having the same issue and i know it's gotta be the lint.... There's gotta be a way to fix the gasket on the lint screen right???? To prevent from having to do this constantly

Thank you so much. Very helpful. I personally had a bit of challenge getting front cover back on but disassembly and cleanout went exactly as you described. Thanks again.
Thank you for the time you took to make this video. Thanks to your efforts, our dryer sounds and acts like new again.
It seems this is happening a little too much, maybe it’s a defective design? Anyway, I have the exact same sound. I’m excited to dive in within the next few days, thanks so much!
It will fix it for sure.
They now sell a new blower wheel design that doesn’t have that problem.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Can you tell me how to get the new blower wheel installed? I've had to clean mine 2x a year.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance I just wanted to provide an update; following this video made the process extremely simple and fixed my problem! Thanks so much!
Thank you ! Watch the video just fixed my dryer! Much appreciated !
Thanks Manny👍
Outstanding video! Wife is happy.
That’s all that’s important😂😂😂
Thank you so much for sharing this! Exactly what I needed!
Awesome, thank you👍😊
Did you mention anywhere what model # this dryer is? I didn't see that info & I'm just wondering due to my dryer needing repair or maybe just cleaning. Thank you in advance for your time & expertise! It's greatly appreciated!
Thank you for this! I think I just found my problem!
Nice job😊
I'm going to tackle this project today!
Fixed it and now 5mos later the sound is coming back again. Curious if Electrolux has recognized this flaw and provided a fix so this doesn’t become a twice yearly disassembly.
Thanks Joshua,
They made a new lint filter that works better👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance thanks so much! can you link us to the updated filter and/or part# ?
Solid! Took us 30 minutes quiet as a church 🐭 mouse!
Wow,
Nicely done Amanda👍
We got a brand new Electrolux dryer yesterday.
On the first load I was drying, the rumbling, vibrating noise went through our condo wall and disturbed even our neighbors !
Since there's no lint build up, what else could it be ?
It's under warranty, so we'll have someone come out.
You believe it could be the roller ?
We got electrolux washer and dryer a month ago and this is the noise we are hearing, we are having someone come to look at it, is there a way to stop the lint from building up like that? I clean the lint trap every couple of loads so am confused how this could be a problem🤔
There’s a new filter housing available from Electrolux that fixes the problem.
Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
The repair man gave it a thumbs down. Great video! Fixed my 7 year old electrolux dryer that's been driving us crazy for the past month. I'm a cabinet finisher so lots of lint and more than likely fine saw dust.
Great job😊
Thank you for this video!! Problem solved !!
Excellent, thanks Morgan
I have one that's making a rumbling noise after replacing the rollers part of the noise went away the blower fan turned easily so I put it back together and thought maybe the tensioner so I disconnected the tensioner and belt and it still made the sound so I'm thinking the motor is bad
Hi Tim,
I think the blower vanes are full of lint.
It’s pretty easy to clean.
Actually the blower was cracked which was causing the noise. Unfortunately the motor and blower were one unit and would not have been worth it to replace so I trashed the dryer.
Ugh i wish it was a quick and easy 5 minute fix. Looks more like a Sunday 6 pack project. I'm having the same issue and i know it's gotta be the lint.... There's gotta be a way to fix the gasket on the lint screen right???? To prevent from having to do this constantly
Check out the video link in the description that shows how to replace the bad lint filter with a better one that works.
How many screw have you lost?
😂😂😂
Thank you!
Excellent video
Thank you!!
You’re welcome😊
Once cleaned out, has anyone found a way to prevent this build up from happening so this is not a recurring issue?
Have to replace the blower wheel with the updated version👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance there’s an updated blower wheel? Can you advise or link to the new blower wheel part/assembly?
Asking again.. can someone point me to the updated blower wheel part/repair. Thanks
Thank you so much no noise any more :)
Dude it worked, thanks so much!!!
You're welcome!😊😊😊
These Electrolux dryers constantly fill up with lint in the blower housing. It's a 2x a year tear apart.
Thanks John, they now make a new Blower Wheel That Doesn’t clog up. I hope you can join Our Channel Membership To Get More Valuable Fix-It DIY Info. Here’s A Link To Find Out more: ua-cam.com/channels/7fBqy8806u1r0NpPv_fQ2w.htmljoin
✨ELECTROLUX DRYER RUMBLING-EASY FIX✨
Same rumbling sound, but that wasn’t the issue
Might be the rollers👍
Quit steeling videos
What video did I steal ???
Hello Scott, so my dad and I did your exact steps and we reassembled everything back to place. So now it turns on but when we hit Start, it doesn’t do anything besides beep 3 times. Any suggestions on what we need to do?
The door switch wires didn’t get hooked back up during reassembly.
