You are so awesome. My dryer was making the exact same noise, and i was completely clueless. Im a DIY fanatic, i refuse to have wet clothes, so i came across your video, and you were my guardian angel. My dryer is back to normal. Thank you MR HANDY MAN.
Videos like yours have saved me hundreds of dollars. I’ve replaced parts on my Whirlpool washer and dryer. They’re 22 years old and still run like new.
Our dryer suddenly started clicking on every revolution of the drum today. This video came up first in the search results, and although we have a different make and model, it came apart the exact same way. We didn't find anything "hard" on the door seal, but we did find a bunch of lint build-up on the felt. We removed as much of the lint build-up as we could reach, put everything back together, and the dryer click was gone. Thanks!
Imagine my surpise when I lifted the front of my dryer off and the EXACT same screw in the EXACT same spot was sticking out. Thanks for saving us money we desperately needed and also weirding out the family with a deja vu video!
You are amazing!!!!! I tried many videos and replaced the rollers. Then watched this and... a huge screw was in the front felt!!!!!!! Thank you thank you. You made my day and saved me from buying a new dryer.
Dude! I wish I had seen this before I took my whole dryer apart and replaced the drum rollers just to have the banging noise continue... found and watched your video... took the front off again and TOTALLY found a screw in the felt!!!! OMG! I'm both proud of myself for learning how to take my dryer apart and replace actual parts and frustrated that it was that simple and I really didn't have to buy extra parts [face palm]... granted, they probably needed to be replaced anyway and the kit wasn't that expensive - but still!!! Anyway, thank you so much - this video absolutely fixed my dryer!!
This is exactly what my dryer has been sounding like for a week. I've been avoiding laundry in fears of snapping a belt before I have time to get a replacement. I'm going to pull it apart after work and see if this is the issue. With 5 kids, I'm hoping it's just a lego or coin! 😅 Thank you for this!
My dryer started making the exact same noise last night about 10pm. So after work today I googled dryer making clicking noise and found this video. Love your dogs, by the way... My dryer is Maytag Bravo's, only about three years old. I followed your instructions, and had exactly the same issue... A screw in the felt in the front of the drum. Including the time to find my socket set and the screw drivers, took about 15 minutes... Thanks for the easy to follow instructions!
Dude you just saved me a half hour!!! 4 min into your video, I got to my dryer, find out where the sound is coming from run a screw driver from the inside, knock the screw loose, problem solved without removing anything! Fk yeah!!!
Thank you!!You just saved me 100 bucks at least ,i did the screwdriver thing it took 2 times around on the doorside seal and knocked that screw out, working like normal again .
Hello there! This was great a advise; I was almost close to calling out a tech but, because your video was so simple to follow, I was able to find the problem. It was a zipper clamp lodged in the back of the door! I heard it when it fell and was thrilled! Thank you so much for making a video that a child could follow. You are a God sent to help!
FINALLY! I’ve been trying for months to figure out what is clicking in my dryer like that. I thought it was a loose wire or plastic cord housing the drum was hitting on each revolution. I’ve taken it apart like 5 times because the noise kept bothering me even though I couldn’t find the source. But thanks to your video I finally figured it out! Thank you
THANK YOU!!! Just fixed my dryer! Took a few minutes only. It was a small piece of plastic stuck in the same way as that screw was in your video above. I removed the piece of plastic, reassembled and no more noise. :)
Thx brother I have the same dryer and last night it started making the same noise as yours...lucky I found you on RUclips..followed your instructions and had the same thing happen 2 mine...thx again for your help you Rock!!
Thank bro...worked like a charm! Saved me $$$. Fixed in under 10 minutes...after the hour of me taking the back panel apart and shaking it like an angry ape 😂😂 called appliance repair and was like oh hell no. Great video.
Thank you for your video. You will never believe what I found inside my dryer first I took off the front like you did and we found lots of money. We thought maybe that was the problem $2.75 worth of coins then we turn the dryer back on and that was not the problem so we opened up the back and what we found was the top to the tide pods container flopping around inside the fan
You are a saint. I had the same damn sound and I didn't know what it could be until I saw your video. Just like you, it was a screw in the front of the drum. You saved me some serious bucks. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps. cool dogs!
My man, that is our exact dryer and it made the same exact noise and when I opened it up I found a screw I the exact same place. You're great. You save me the money for the service call or for a new dryer. Well done. One question: Where did the screw come from?
Thank you!!!! This was our exact dryer and the exact issue! Took us 30 mins start to finish cleaning it and checking for objects which happened to be a screw in the exact same place! Wild! Thanks again! Saved us such a hassle! 🙌🏼
Thanks for this!! I just saved $800. The culprit was a nail and about $2 in random change 😅. Being a female with zero mechanical experience, I was scared to take it apart and fully mess it up. But all is well now!
Thanks so much for saving us 💸💸💸 got it done in ten minutes thanks to you. It was a Screw too 😂 probably saved us $200 night before a big hurricane so we appreciate it.
Your video is only one that even remotely seems easy to follow ,u ddnt lecture on bout parts n jargon that if I knew I wouldnt be watching!!lol I've been searching vids fr 2 hours n yours isnt just good cause only one i could follow ,you have that nack people NEED when explaining foreign things to clueless people i.e. me !! THANK YOU!although not what's wrong w mine ,mines more like change is getting tossed around inside...PLEASE DO MORE VIDS!! I'm done searching the others make me wanna throw dirty clothes out n buy new ones w covid no one is servicing..😔but you gave me hope it can be simple thank u again!!best vid
Just had the same issue with the same brand dryer. Pulled the cover off and found the exact same screw in the same spot. May be a common issue with this brand? Thanks for the video though! Definitely gave me a good idea of where to look!
Same here, same noise, same problem. Thanks! I’m wondering were the screw came from though, I looked around but didn’t see a screw missing from any part of the dryer. Perhaps my pockets since I’m the only one that would probably be carrying a screws.
Thank you! We had the exact same problem, except it was my son's tooth which I guess he had left in his pants and then came out while drying! THANK YOU!
Totally agree a person should just go for it and do the repair themselves. i found that the original belt pully is metal and its causing the belt to break faster than if it were a plastic wheel one. Im ordering one tonight. Why would it make a loud clunk in the beginning before it starts spinning?
My Kenmore dryer is making a very faint clicking noise and the heating element works but my clothes don't get completely dry in the same amount of time that they used to. Is there a fan or something that could be my problem besides something stuck in the seal? Thanks!
Great, great, great help. You can actually fix this without taking anything apart. At least there is a chance you can. Suspecting the same problem, I just ran my finger around the inner rim and found a slightly sharp item jutting slightly out of the gap between the drum and the front frame. I couldn't tell what it was, I stuck my head in and used my phone camera and could see something. It was loose, and wiggled relatively freely and it felt like the tip of a screw. It almost felt like I could just yank it out. I tried a few times and it moved around. I got some needle-nose pliers and it took a couple tries but it came out. It was the pocket zipper to some cheap sweatpants. What finally worked was that I pushed up on the drum, which made the gap bigger to allow removal with the needle-nose pliers. (The zipper was stuck at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position of the circle.) I actually have been annoyed to have had things getting stuck in that gap for years. A drawstring here, a button there, a zipper this time. Usually they remain attached to the clothes. The dryer will then grab the garment and just wring it to death. I've ruined a few articles of clothing this way. If your dryer has this same problem, it may be worth it to put some painter's tape on anything small enough to get stuck there, or to put your clothes inside out before drying as prevention.
Your drum turns counter clockwise; I only heard the noise once when you turned the drum clockwise. ??Also, did you screw the screw back in or did you just leave it out? And also, you didn't explain what to do if you would've determined that the noise was coming from the back side of the drum. then what? I want to know before i start disassembling my dryer. I'm not exactly a dyi kinda guy. thanks
What does it mean when your electric dryers start button starts making an electrical buzzing noise when you press it. It won’t start, instead it just makes the buzzing noise. Do you think it needs a new start button ?
Noise started last night with ours. Took the front cover off and what do you know, a rock and a screw stuck where your screw was. Now its quiet again, thank you boss!
Thank you. I have a front loading dryer and it is sitting on top of my front loading washer in a tight space. The Kenmore dryer timer knob sounds like it has something rattling behind it. When I put my finger on the timer knob, I can feel rattling vibrations that feel like they are behind the knob. I’m not sure I can manage this since I don’t have anyone to help me and the space is very tight as the washer and dryer are in a tight closet.
My man! Cup of coffee at hand! Gotta whirlpool dryer that just started making a sort of grinding or clunking sound when i went to dry a load. If you have to replace the drum seals, should they both be replaced? How hard was it to remove the drum? Thanks, great video! Give your good dogs a treat!
Doing great, three years in April. I’m considering doing a half Ironman just to show it can be done. I’ll also show my latest powerlifting meet in the same video, probably try to release it in July
Please help! I have that exact same dryer. It had a very loud squeak. I replaced the rollers and the belt. Seems fine but there is a “thump-thump” now. I’ve checked and checked and idk what is causing it! It won’t do it if I hand turn it... just when it’s all out back together and I run it! Help!!! Thank you!
You are so awesome. My dryer was making the exact same noise, and i was completely clueless. Im a DIY fanatic, i refuse to have wet clothes, so i came across your video, and you were my guardian angel. My dryer is back to normal. Thank you MR HANDY MAN.
Quick video with results!!! A shirt button was stuck inside my dryer causing the sound. 😅 thanks for posting & saving laundry day & money!

Hey thank! We had a mangled paperclip stuck in our lip. Saved us the time/cost of having someone take a look at it!

Your video actually helped me repair the very same dryer with the very same issue. Loose screw on felt lining. Appreciate the video my man!!

PRO TIP: make sure you are wearing gloves because once you take your dryer apart it's very sharp.
My hands are made of solid calluses
I found that out the hard way! 😣

Where do we think the screw came from? What was it holding together?
EXCELLENT!!! GREAT HELP!!!
Whirlpool dryer, same issue, safety pin hanging from the outer edge of the drum, right in the notch. Thanks!
Is it dangerous to just leave the screw there for the time being? I mean, besides making a lot of racket, can it cause other damage? Thanks

What does it mean when your electric dryers start button starts making an electrical buzzing noise when you press it. It won’t start, instead it just makes the buzzing noise.

When you found that nail did you keep it out or were you supposed to put it back into something?
