    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!

    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!

    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

    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?

  • @markfritzel5993
    @markfritzel5993 4 года назад

    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.

  • @scottkretsch4887
    @scottkretsch4887 3 года назад

    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

    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.
