Dryer makes noises in rear area when it is running. Took items off back but is sealed and not sure if I wanted to call someone or fix it myself. It only makes noise at 1 specific area as it turns and bumps or "vibrates".

Here are your parts Replacement parts for Whirlpool WED5840SW0 29"ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.comIf the noise is a thumping then odds are it is a bad rear support roller. Part number: AP3098345
If you click on the picture a new page will open with more info, a Q&A section. Also take a look at the video. Once you get it opened up check the rear rollers for bearing wean and if the rubber is out of round. Since you have it opened up you may as well give it a bit of an overhaul. So also check the belt, idler wheel, drum seals, internal air flow seals, front drum support bearing rings etc. Then give the interior a good cleaning including the blower wheel. This is also a good time to check/clean your vent system. |
