So I have a dryer from the 80s and it works fine, has for years. It still works great except for the noise at start and stop. I have included a video of the noise. I run the dryer for a few seconds then stop it. It almost sounds like after the drum has started a wheel takes a bit to get going then after the drum stops a wheel is still going for a bit. I have read that rollers go bad most often but is that what is causing this? I took the top off and ran it and the drum starts right up, the belt is nice and snug and no wear at all. Figured before I ordered possibly $50+ worth of parts I didn’t need I would make sure that is what the issue is. I got help from the chat and they believed it was the blower. Before I start taking it apart just want more ears on it to make sure that seems like the issue. Once I take it apart I am not going to put it back together till fixed.
Here is the video, hopefully this help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nWuhfctdCI
