If not - disassemble the dryer and clean the blower and filter housings. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Whirlpool LEW0050PQ0 COMPACT ELECTRIC DRYER \| AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Post the results. Simon.

Hi Simon, Ran a load of towels, but that didn't do the trick so will tackle the blower and filter housings over the weekend. Now there's another issue, what might cause a thunking sound, like shoes, when spinning counter clockwise. Thanks, Tia
