Brilliant video. One of the best “how to” video I have seen. Had a similar vibration on my Samsung dryer although it is a different model than in the video. After looking at the video, I decided to check the blower to see if it that was the problem. Took a bit to figuring out how to get to the blower since mine is a different model, but eventually got to it. The blower wheel and duct leading to it, was completely clogged up with lint, tissue, and dryer sheets. Cleaned everything out and reassembled all the parts. The dryer is now working like new. Thanks for saving me the cost of a service call, and perhaps buying a new dryer as, like you noted, the technician might have changed everything else in the dryer and not resolve the problem.
Thanks for your video. In my case, a mouse got into my dryer and decided to make lunch out of the blower wheel. This put the wheel WAY out of balance causing a VERY noticeable vibration. Thanks for pointing out that mounting nut is LEFT hand thread. Thanks again.
Excellent excellent video, one possible reason you don't want to hold the fan wheel when working that nut is you may bend the flimsy plastic, and then you are right back to square one with an out of balance wheel.
Outstanding. Your instructions were clear and concise--you avoided so many unnecessary steps that other videos had. Leaving the wiring harness intact and moving the panel to the side was pure genius!
Thanks for this video. We searched high and low for information regarding opening up the front of our Samsung dryer model No. DV50F9A7GVW/A2 The one on this video is exactly the same as ours. Our problem was a noisy, vibrating operation. Being confident it was excess lint build up in the wheel, we wanted to fix it ourselves. We are a 75 year old husband and wife. With your guidance we were able to open the front, remove the blower cover plate and clean out the wheel. Problem solved! Great video!
Outstanding video. Only 30 min to take it apart, clean the lint from the blades, and put it back together, all thanks to your fantastic step by step instructions. Works just like new again. Thank you, sir!
I know this video is 5 years old, but I started by taking the back off the unit, then youtubed the issue. Your video came up and is literally the exact issue we had. My daughter had a ring that made it into the blower wheel which had caused the wheel to come off balance. It also needed cleaning and is now working as new! Thanks for posting this.
I have followed his instructions and were able to fix my dyer . Samsung wanted to charge me 499 and another company 195 to come look at it . I did it in 20 min just cleaned it and it works like magic.
The tip on opening the dryer alone was worth its weight in gold. I found a hair/lint ball the size of a cat in mine... no cats were harmed but the dryer returned to normal after removing it. Thanks for this video.
Fantastic video!!!! Dryer just started making this noise when I returned from vacation. I was able to take it apart and in my case clean the lint out with no issues in about 20 mins and save any money I would have had to pay a technician. Being a single woman this is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video, I’ve had AHS to my house several times last year and worthless tech left my machine running like this without ever really taking it apart like you had the last time he left he said it’s fine you can keep using it like this the noise doesn’t matter. My vibration was so loud even with the door closed you can hear it throughout the house. They never call to reschedule and left me hanging and last week I got fed up and found your video. Took my dv56h9000gp/a2 dryer apart similarly and found me wheel gunked up with thick lint all on one side, I peeled it out and cleaned up my fins and vacuumed everything down there from years of never opening the unit in a household of 8. Spun my drum and the wheel was luckily spinning well balanced, added a few strips of butyl rubber sound deadener strips where some metal on metal would contact and make noise, put it all back together and it’s almost like new. Almost whisper quiet. Such a relief!! Thank you so much for showing me the insides of a Samsung dryer, I wish I would have known this sooner
I pushed a bunch of lint into that blower motor causing it to vibrate. watched your video on how to access the fan. Cleaned all the lint out. fixed my problem. While doing so I see the proper way to clean out the lint next time. Thank you, you saved me an expensive service call.
I replaced the belt, tensioner and rollers due to a rumble, and now I am starting to think this was the true issue. I ended up taking the fan wheel out and cleaning it anyways and lone behold, no more loud rattle. Thank you for this video.
You are the man! You just saved me a phone call to someone who would have charged an arm and a leg to fix this simple issue. My blower was just clogged with lint. Once it was cleared, it ran like a champ! Thank you!
This is without a doubt the best appliance repair video I’ve ever watched, and I’ve seen plenty. Outstanding instructions, very helpful tips along the way, excellent audio and video work, and overall seamless presentation. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and personal experience, it’s truly appreciated!
Same Samsung, same issue. Decided to open her up and didn’t know what was what. You saved the day and now the whole internet knows! Well done and precise instructions! I couldn’t help but notice all those bottles on the counter in the other room 😊 cheers to you!
Thank you so much for the video! I have an all electronic version of the dryer (Samsung model DV50K8600GV/A3, manufactured April 2016) and it disassembled exactly the same way you showed it in your video. The only thing I did differently was to disconnect the quick connect plug on the front door assembly so I could get it out of our laundry room and out of my way. I was luckier than you were though, as my issue was caused by a huge build up of lint on the blower fan blades, creating an imbalance. Once I cleaned it all out, it worked perfectly. There was no more vibration. Again, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this video!! I truly appreciate it!!
My gosh, ppl never cease to amaze. I. Had no idea the comment section could be like this. I've only read a few of them and I've only watched a few seconds of the video so far I'm going to scroll through some more and finish the video but I just had to say that it is amazing to see people being nice and respectful and sincere and not trouble so you must have done something right well done both people commenters and you on your Channel
Thanks for the kudos. Yes, I guess there's not much to hate in a video like this ;-)

This video saved us from buying a new dryer! Ours was so noisy it was driving us mad. Cleaning the lint out of the blower wheel did the trick. Thanks for posting such a detailed video!
This video is 100% for the disassembly. All I had to do was clean out the blower fan and the vibration went away. I found a hairpin in the blades. Thanks for the video.
Thank for for this video! My husband was about to buy a new dryer lol We followed your steps and it turns out we had lint stuck on one side. We cleaned it out and the sound went away. It took us no more than 15 minutes. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. I pulled my dryer apart today to find half the vent fan clogged up with massive amount of lint. cleaned it all out and now it works great . No new fan required.
My 6months old Samsung dryer also started to vibrate so I did a RUclips search on this issue and found this video. This is one of the best how to videos I've seen lately on anything. I followed the instructions in this video and sure enough my squirrel cage was full of clumpy lint. I vaccumed all parts and this totally fixed my issue. Thank you for making this video.
Well done. I followed your directions to a tee. Our vibration problem was a lint in the blower blades so we didn't need a new wheel -- and we made 31 cents and 1 peso in lost change during cleaning.
Your video made me the hero in my home. Our Samsung Dryer was loudly vibrating and something was rubbing inside. When I took off the fan-wheel cover, every blade on 1/2 the wheel was loaded with lint. I even think the Bounce Dryer a sheets made the lint and the plastic fan material sticky, be vise I couldn’t just vacuum it out. I had to use a toothbrush to free it and remove a residue on the plastic. Once reassembled, quiet as new! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this very helpful video. My dryer’s blower wheel was not broken or warped, but it was totally clogged with lint and 2-3 dryer sheets that were stuck on one side. After using a toothbrush on the fins and a shop vac on the loose stuff, the vibration was gone after reassembly. Thank you for taking your time to help others with this highly effective and easy to follow tutorial.
Thank you! You helped me a ton! My issue was excessive lint on one side like you said and I cleaned it and it actual sounds louder than it has in years lol
THANK YOU!!!!!! As a stroke of luck our washer AND dryer started acting up on the same day. The washer is a work in progress but, thanks to your video the dryer is back in service. Luckily ours was just lent in the blower thing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!! You have saved my day and a most likely, price service call.
Watched many videos over the years, and your instructions were so straightforward and right on! My issue was lint in the flywheel, so I didn't need to purchase anything, but wouldn't have had such an easy time fixing this without people like you taking the time to post videos like this. Much appreciated!! Thank you!
This was the exact problem with my 2020 Samsung- i needed to use a bolt-type wheel puller, threaded into the two holes on either side. (Harbor Freight item 62620, $16.99). I was surprised to see how much lint passed the trap and settled onto the fan wheel. Thank you for the excellent video!
Thank you so much. My 2 year old just shoved a screwdriver in the lint filter and it was banging against the drum. This is the only video that seems to be specific to my dryer and I’m so thankful. Off to work I go.
Thank you for the great video. You are a natural teacher - your voice is clear, the presentation is well organized, and your cadence is perfect. Thank you also for calling out the supplier because many of us rarely purchase appliance parts and knowing who a good supplier is helps a lot. Two of the rollers on my 4-year-old Samsung dryer failed causing a clunking sound. The rollers on my machine are plastic wheels with metal self-lubricating bushings which rotate on iron axles. The lint soaked up the lubricant and eventually, the bushings and axles were destroyed. Hopefully, the rollers on your more deluxe machine have sealed bearings that will last much longer.
This was brilliant. Mine was clogged with lint. This is likely the best how to vid I’ve ever seen. Less that 20 minutes start to finish. Dryer works great now! Thank you!!
I never make comments on youtube videos but I had to after watching this one. THANK YOU! I was about to purchase some rollers and an idler pulley bracket so I had the parts on hand when I tore the dryer apart. You made it look so simple with the quick access pannel.
I've got the same model dryer. Disassembly took 5 minutes and found lint jammed in the fins and we clean the trap religiously. Cleaned her out, reassembled, and BOOM! Running like new! Thanks for saving me money man!
Thank you! Fixed mine in 15 minutes thanks to you. I was about to go buy a different dryer. I also had to pop the plastic piece off my dryer vent filter because of it making the dryer smell funny. If anyone has a problem of the dryer smelling break the flap off and it seems to fix it too.
Mine is making a burning like smell as well. I’m thankful to see this video. We are going to try this approach for sure. I’m going to let you know. Thanks so much!
Thanks for such an excellent how-to. Dryer was SO loud and less than two years old. UGH! Plus in current virus situation wasn't thrilled with the prospect of having to have repair person in. Followed your instructions and BAM! quiet dryer. I couldn't get lid to open with banging on it, so used a sturdy butter knife right about where the latches were and it popped right open. Hey, if this 60+ year old lady with arthritic knees can do it with your clear straight forward instructions, anyone can! Thanks again!!!
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. Very helpful, especially the part about using impact. In our case two of the fins in the wheel were cracked/broken creating out of balance. Thank you again!
I was able to open my Samsung dryer (dve50r5200w, for the search folks), clean out the lint funnel and blower fan, and blame my roommates for the pocket errata that had ended up caking the blower fan thanks to this video. Spins as quietly as a dryer can be expected to now; thank you William Benner!
This video allowed me to fix my dryer…. It was full of lint and it was all jammed in… All I had to do was follow your instructions and clean it out. Put it back together and now it’s as quiet as the day we bought it. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Thank you very much for this video! My Samsung dryer is making such a loud vibration from exactly that area. I’m going to check out these parts and see if I can fix our dryer too.
Thank you so much for posting this video. my issue was built up lint. I'm a woman and I fixed it all by myself thanks to you!! you saved me a service call thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for this video. Mine ended up being a dryer sheet got into this motor. Took it all apart and took that out and cleaned it up a bit and works like new.
Great video! I had the same issue with my dryer vibrating excessively for months. I followed the steps to remove the front, cleaned out a *very* dirty blower wheel, and 20 minutes later, I can finally dry my clothes again without shaking the whole house. Thank you so much!
I'm not tough enough to hit with the palm of my hand so I used a rubber mallett to get the top part lifted ever so slightly and then felt for the clips with a butter knife. When I found them, I pushed in with the knife and gave it a wack or 5 with the rubber mallet. Thank you for making this video.
Yes that's pretty clever. Actually for many people, just removing the screws from the back might be easier or more reliable. It was inconvenient for me to do so, and so I just went in from the front...
I do maintenence for a vacation rental company and this video is the sheezy! It's gonna save me (and the company) sooo much time, money, and headaches! Thank you sir!!!
Thanks so much for this video, our dryer was doing the exact same thing. I got a little luckier as I did have a clump of lint throwing the wheel out of balance. Cleaned it all out and it’s running smooth again.
Did this tear down and found out my blower fan was just filled with lint after only owning it for 14 months! We change the filter before every use. That has me a little worried that we have so much getting past the filter. Thank you for the video. This helped me fix our dryer in under 30min.
I had spent about 3 hours replacing the rollers and tensioning arm, only to have my Samsung dryer shake loudly once I was finished. Saw your video, and tried to replace the blower fan. I couldn't get the bolt off. BUT, I was able to carefully clean all the blower blades (it was still in true). Put it back together again and it was quiet as the day we bought it. THANKS for making this video and helping guys like me who wouldn't have a clue otherwise.
Yes, typical story I think. My drier was under warranty at the time I did this work. We had a tech come and replace the rollers and tensioner, but the situation didn't improve and he could not fix it, so I had to do it myself. I have to do that a lot...
This video saved me so much time and probably a major expense as well. I had the exact same issue but my problem was lint build up in the wheel causing loud operation and excessive vibration. Now it runs whisper quiet by comparison!!! Very few other resources like this that gets straight to the point and the tips and shortcuts work perfectly. Cost me nothing but time. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this info. I have the exact same washer and dryer. And, just last weekend my wife commented on how loud the dryer is becoming. I appreciate your detail in showing how to repair this problem.
I had just cleaned lint out as well and that’s when the vibration started. Loose lint stuck in blades!! Thanks for saving me from a service call and repair!! $$$ saved!
Excellent! Big clump of lint. Runs great now. I found that removing the hinges made it a lot easier to pop the top off and on. Put them back on when I got the front popped off and then removed them again to get the lid popped on again. Thank you!!!!
I suspect the heat of the lint and air as it passes this wheel -- because of the cheapness of the plastic -- warps over time and becomes imbalanced which caused the vibration. A metal wheel would be much more effective, but the way this wheel is designed it guarantees a service call and added revenue to Samsung. Hopefully this video, which is EXCELLENT, will put the power to resolve back in the hands of the consumer.
Thank you! Opened my drier up today because it was so loud and vibrating terribly. I found that there was hair and link built up in the fan, but the fan appeared to be perfectly round. Cleaned it all out and put it back together and it is smooth and quiet again.
Wow. thanks. My dryer was making noise and vibrating. Checked & found a huge amount of lint in the squirrel cage fan. Removed it and back to normal operation. Once again, I'm a "hero" around the house. I'll tell all my friends and anyone else about this great fix.
The video was simple, easy to follow and I really liked the simpler approach that was offered to the professional one. I decided to clean all of the lint off the fan, and see if that corrected my problem before removing the fan, and thankfully that was all it was! So no out of pocket cost and about an hour of my time. This probably would have been 100.00 repair for a professional call, so thank you very much. Next home repair I have will definitely check your videos to see if you cover the problem before I look anywhere else. 5 stars and a thumbs up.
Thanks for taking the time and energy to graciously make this video to help out the rest of us. Very clear and calm directions made disassembly and reassembly a breeze. My challenge appears to have just be uneven lint build up on the blower wheel (as you suggested as the first check). Much appreciated!
Loved the step by step procedure, I tried cleaning some lint around the filter area and sure enough any lint I missed went down into the fan so two weeks later here I am taking apart my dryer
THANK YOU! had the exact symptom, but was due to a clogged impeller. Followed your video, located and fixed the issue. Purring like a cat now. Very grateful to you for creating this clip.
Thank-you for posting this, I followed your directions step-by-step. When I got the dryer apart, I found a golf pencil wedged in the blower wheel which was causing the vibration. Easy fix and simple to follow steps. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for posting this video. My dryer started making that horrible noise (mine seemed even louder) along with the vibration this morning. I will be ordering the part and hopefully my son and I can get it done. 🙂 Update: It turned out I did not need the part (yay). I texted this link to my son. He watched it and followed your directions and was able to fix the dryer. Once he unclogged it, removing all the lint, a pencil, 17 cent, a plastic token and a few other things, it was good as new. Thank you!
Man I had a basket ball of lint I was about to go to Lowes saw 2 videos you broke it down so easy fixed it in 25 minutes just with a Shop Vacuum..saved $700+ Thank you!!!
This was very helpful! The fan on my unit ended up being thrown off balance with a big clump of link just like you thought yours was. Thanks for the info.
Glad it helped Stephani! Yes, in most cases it's just a clogged wheel. I was a bit surprised it wasn't the case for mine, but actually if mine was so simple, I probably wouldn't have made this video.
Thank you so much for the thorough video. I experienced the same vibration/noise issue and went ahead and checked the blower for accumulated lint. Indeed that was the issue. I pulled out and vacuumed all the lint that was preventing a smooth airflow and it now works fine.
Yep, I expected mine to just be accumulated lint too, but it wasn't, so I had to go further. However, had mine been the simple lint, this video wouldn't exist!
Like a few other viewers, my issue was lint packed in the blades after the annual vent cleaning. Your video was a tremendous help. Thanks!!!
Great to hear!
I think this may be my problem. How do you go about vent cleaning on a dryer?
Brilliant video. One of the best “how to” video I have seen. Had a similar vibration on my Samsung dryer although it is a different model than in the video. After looking at the video, I decided to check the blower to see if it that was the problem. Took a bit to figuring out how to get to the blower since mine is a different model, but eventually got to it. The blower wheel and duct leading to it, was completely clogged up with lint, tissue, and dryer sheets. Cleaned everything out and reassembled all the parts. The dryer is now working like new. Thanks for saving me the cost of a service call, and perhaps buying a new dryer as, like you noted, the technician might have changed everything else in the dryer and not resolve the problem.
Indeed, glad it helped!
it took us 15 minutes and all we had to do was remove a piece of lint that got stuck in the blower wheel. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for your video. In my case, a mouse got into my dryer and decided to make lunch out of the blower wheel. This put the wheel WAY out of balance causing a VERY noticeable vibration. Thanks for pointing out that mounting nut is LEFT hand thread. Thanks again.
Glad it worked! And yes, I get concerned about pests entering the vent from the outside too. So tempting to remove the screen but it serves a purpose.
This is an outstanding example of effective, informative, precise, easy to understand training, not only for appliance repair. Thank you.
Thanks for the kudos!
I was able to fix mine in 15 mins. Clear and easy way to fix. You probably have a technical background lol.
Yes, just a little bit technical ;-)
Thank you I left the dry vent out and a rag got sucked in and thanks to your help I was able to fix the dry with 0 cost
Glad it helped for you too!
In my case it was lint build up on the blower, but I wouldn't have know how to take the dryer apart without your video - thanks very much!
Glad it helped!
Excellent excellent video, one possible reason you don't want to hold the fan wheel when working that nut is you may bend the flimsy plastic, and then you are right back to square one with an out of balance wheel.
Your point might be right, but I was holding the fan wheel while removing it. If anything got bent it would have been on the wheel I removed.
I've got to admit, as soon as I saw this Ginga ninja I was sceptical... but this guy knows his stuff. Great video, incredibly helpful, thank you sir!
Thanks for the kudos!
I was able to fix my dryer, thanks to this video, and I barely can fix anything. This guy is dad incarnate!
WOW glad it helped you!
Much thanks for this, we went from a freight train to calm. Excellent!
Glad it worked!
Just did this. The blades below were caked with lint. Cleaned every part and fan blade and its back to running like new. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Outstanding. Your instructions were clear and concise--you avoided so many unnecessary steps that other videos had. Leaving the wiring harness intact and moving the panel to the side was pure genius!
As my friend Greg Makhov says, "laziness has its own rewards" ;-)

Glad I could help
Outstanding video. Fixed in 10 minutes. Just lint build up around the motor wheel vs having to replace the part.
Great!
Outstanding video. Only 30 min to take it apart, clean the lint from the blades, and put it back together, all thanks to your fantastic step by step instructions. Works just like new again. Thank you, sir!
Glad it worked for you!
mine was full of lint, got the part in case, cleaned it out out and the problem is solved. Thanks so much. You made the whole process so fast and east
Excellent!
manufacturers of Samsung Dryer should build the appliances to not have this sort of situation. This video is great so Thank You for making this.
Glad it helped!
I know this video is 5 years old, but I started by taking the back off the unit, then youtubed the issue. Your video came up and is literally the exact issue we had.

7 years later, I am here finding this video amazingly helpful!! Thanks a lot! I just had to cleanup mine
Glad it helped!
I have followed his instructions and were able to fix my dyer . Samsung wanted to charge me 499 and another company 195 to come look at it . I did it in 20 min just cleaned it and it works like magic.
Glad it worked!
The tip on opening the dryer alone was worth its weight in gold. I found a hair/lint ball the size of a cat in mine... no cats were harmed but the dryer returned to normal after removing it. Thanks for this video.
Thanks to your video I fixed my dryer! It wasn’t a bad fin piece like yours but instead my son’s missing binky made its way into the fins!
Happy it helped!

The best video I've seen so far regarding the removal of the front end of the Samsung dryer.
Glad you liked it!
I replaced the belt, tensioner and rollers due to a rumble, and now I am starting to think this was the true issue. I ended up taking the fan wheel out and cleaning it anyways and lone behold, no more loud rattle. Thank you for this video.
Glad it helped
You are the man! You just saved me a phone call to someone who would have charged an arm and a leg to fix this simple issue. My blower was just clogged with lint. Once it was cleared, it ran like a champ! Thank you!
Well, you might have run into an honest repair man, but I'm glad I could help.

I did it and it only took me 20 minutes and all I has was lint on my fan….thanks so much it saved me!! I feel very accomplished today!
Glad it helped!
This was the exact problem with my 2020 Samsung- i needed to use a bolt-type wheel puller, threaded into the two holes on either side. (Harbor Freight item 62620, $16.99). I was surprised to see how much lint passed the trap and settled onto the fan wheel. Thank you for the excellent video!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. My 2 year old just shoved a screwdriver in the lint filter and it was banging against the drum. This is the only video that seems to be specific to my dryer and I’m so thankful. Off to work I go.
You're welcome!
Thank you for the great video. You are a natural teacher - your voice is clear, the presentation is well organized, and your cadence is perfect. Thank you also for calling out the supplier because many of us rarely purchase appliance parts and knowing who a good supplier is helps a lot. Two of the rollers on my 4-year-old Samsung dryer failed causing a clunking sound. The rollers on my machine are plastic wheels with metal self-lubricating bushings which rotate on iron axles. The lint soaked up the lubricant and eventually, the bushings and axles were destroyed. Hopefully, the rollers on your more deluxe machine have sealed bearings that will last much longer.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad my video helped.
Thanks for this! Opened up the blower housing and found the fins and housing packed with lint! Excellent video!
Glad it helped!
This was brilliant. Mine was clogged with lint. This is likely the best how to vid I’ve ever seen. Less that 20 minutes start to finish. Dryer works great now! Thank you!!
the most dad dude i ever seen . Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I never make comments on youtube videos but I had to after watching this one.
THANK YOU!
I was about to purchase some rollers and an idler pulley bracket so I had the parts on hand when I tore the dryer apart. You made it look so simple with the quick access pannel.
Glad I could help!
I've got the same model dryer. Disassembly took 5 minutes and found lint jammed in the fins and we clean the trap religiously. Cleaned her out, reassembled, and BOOM! Running like new! Thanks for saving me money man!
Your video helped me a ton. My whole laundry room was shaking this video helped me fix my Samsung dryer thank you
Glad it helped!
Outstanding tutorial. Lint was built up and laying to one side of the blower. Saved me a service call $$$!
Yes another one with lint. Must be that time of the season...
Thank you! Fixed mine in 15 minutes thanks to you. I was about to go buy a different dryer. I also had to pop the plastic piece off my dryer vent filter because of it making the dryer smell funny. If anyone has a problem of the dryer smelling break the flap off and it seems to fix it too.
Glad it helped and saved you some money too!
Mine is making a burning like smell as well. I’m thankful to see this video. We are going to try this approach for sure. I’m going to let you know. Thanks so much!
Thanks for such an excellent how-to. Dryer was SO loud and less than two years old. UGH! Plus in current virus situation wasn't thrilled with the prospect of having to have repair person in. Followed your instructions and BAM! quiet dryer. I couldn't get lid to open with banging on it, so used a sturdy butter knife right about where the latches were and it popped right open. Hey, if this 60+ year old lady with arthritic knees can do it with your clear straight forward instructions, anyone can! Thanks again!!!
WOW, butter knife is a good idea because it's long and thin. Great advice! The only trick is -- where to apply it. I'm glad you figured it out.
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. Very helpful, especially the part about using impact. In our case two of the fins in the wheel were cracked/broken creating out of balance. Thank you again!
WOW that's something!
I was able to open my Samsung dryer (dve50r5200w, for the search folks), clean out the lint funnel and blower fan, and blame my roommates for the pocket errata that had ended up caking the blower fan thanks to this video. Spins as quietly as a dryer can be expected to now; thank you William Benner!
Glad it worked!
This video allowed me to fix my dryer…. It was full of lint and it was all jammed in…
All I had to do was follow your instructions and clean it out. Put it back together and now it’s as quiet as the day we bought it. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Glad it helped
Thank you very much for this video! My Samsung dryer is making such a loud vibration from exactly that area. I’m going to check out these parts and see if I can fix our dryer too.
Thank you for this helpful video. I just fixed my dryer's rumbling noise just by clearing out the lint from the blower wheel.
Excellent!
This was incredibly helpful, woke up this morning and the dryer was doing the same thing. Couldnt have done without you!
Glad I could help!
Fixed my dryer in 10 minutes using this video. Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
you didn't just save me (us) money but you spared us stress and aggravation, too. thank you from the middle of my heart.
Thanks for the positive note. I'm glad my video helped you.
Thank you so much for posting this video. my issue was built up lint. I'm a woman and I fixed it all by myself thanks to you!! you saved me a service call thank you thank you thank you
Glad it worked Karen!
Thanks for this video. Mine ended up being a dryer sheet got into this motor. Took it all apart and took that out and cleaned it up a bit and works like new.
Glad it helped
Great video! I had the same issue with my dryer vibrating excessively for months. I followed the steps to remove the front, cleaned out a *very* dirty blower wheel, and 20 minutes later, I can finally dry my clothes again without shaking the whole house. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
A real public service, and not just for Samsung but most dryers in general. Thanks.
I'm not tough enough to hit with the palm of my hand so I used a rubber mallett to get the top part lifted ever so slightly and then felt for the clips with a butter knife. When I found them, I pushed in with the knife and gave it a wack or 5 with the rubber mallet. Thank you for making this video.
Yes that's pretty clever. Actually for many people, just removing the screws from the back might be easier or more reliable. It was inconvenient for me to do so, and so I just went in from the front...
@@WilliamBennerJr I didn't see any in the back. I did it the way you did.
I do maintenence for a vacation rental company and this video is the sheezy! It's gonna save me (and the company) sooo much time, money, and headaches! Thank you sir!!!
Happy to help!
Thanks so much for this video, our dryer was doing the exact same thing. I got a little luckier as I did have a clump of lint throwing the wheel out of balance. Cleaned it all out and it’s running smooth again.
Yep that's pretty common.
Did this tear down and found out my blower fan was just filled with lint after only owning it for 14 months! We change the filter before every use. That has me a little worried that we have so much getting past the filter. Thank you for the video. This helped me fix our dryer in under 30min.
Thanks for the note. I'm glad I could help.
Thank you! Was able to this myself. Mine turned out to be just a lint problem!! The appliance repair guy wanted to charge me $350!! You’re awesome 🤘
Glad the video helped!
I had spent about 3 hours replacing the rollers and tensioning arm, only to have my Samsung dryer shake loudly once I was finished. Saw your video, and tried to replace the blower fan. I couldn't get the bolt off. BUT, I was able to carefully clean all the blower blades (it was still in true). Put it back together again and it was quiet as the day we bought it. THANKS for making this video and helping guys like me who wouldn't have a clue otherwise.
Yes, typical story I think. My drier was under warranty at the time I did this work. We had a tech come and replace the rollers and tensioner, but the situation didn't improve and he could not fix it, so I had to do it myself. I have to do that a lot...
This video saved me so much time and probably a major expense as well. I had the exact same issue but my problem was lint build up in the wheel causing loud operation and excessive vibration. Now it runs whisper quiet by comparison!!! Very few other resources like this that gets straight to the point and the tips and shortcuts work perfectly. Cost me nothing but time.
Thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this info. I have the exact same washer and dryer. And, just last weekend my wife commented on how loud the dryer is becoming. I appreciate your detail in showing how to repair this problem.
Glad I could help!
I had just cleaned lint out as well and that’s when the vibration started. Loose lint stuck in blades!! Thanks for saving me from a service call and repair!! $$$ saved!
Glad it helped!
Excellent! Big clump of lint. Runs great now. I found that removing the hinges made it a lot easier to pop the top off and on. Put them back on when I got the front popped off and then removed them again to get the lid popped on again. Thank you!!!!
Yes, regarding the hinges I agree. In my case, getting behind the dryer was more problematic, so operating from the front was preferable.
I suspect the heat of the lint and air as it passes this wheel -- because of the cheapness of the plastic -- warps over time and becomes imbalanced which caused the vibration. A metal wheel would be much more effective, but the way this wheel is designed it guarantees a service call and added revenue to Samsung. Hopefully this video, which is EXCELLENT, will put the power to resolve back in the hands of the consumer.
Thank you! Opened my drier up today because it was so loud and vibrating terribly. I found that there was hair and link built up in the fan, but the fan appeared to be perfectly round. Cleaned it all out and put it back together and it is smooth and quiet again.
Yes in most cases it's clumped lint. I'm glad that was the case with yours as well.
Wow. thanks. My dryer was making noise and vibrating. Checked & found a huge amount of lint in the squirrel cage fan. Removed it and back to normal operation. Once again, I'm a "hero" around the house. I'll tell all my friends and anyone else about this great fix.
Hehe, around my house it's usually the mom whose the daily hero. As the dad, it's great to feel needed every once in a while ;-)
You solved our noisy vibrating dryer problem AND the age old mystery of where the missing socks go! Thank you!
Hehe, yes indeed! That's the pathway that socks take to the circus!
The video was simple, easy to follow and I really liked the simpler approach that was offered to the professional one. I decided to clean all of the lint off the fan, and see if that corrected my problem before removing the fan, and thankfully that was all it was! So no out of pocket cost and about an hour of my time. This probably would have been 100.00 repair for a professional call, so thank you very much. Next home repair I have will definitely check your videos to see if you cover the problem before I look anywhere else. 5 stars and a thumbs up.
Yes, I hoped mine was just clogged lint too, but it wasn't... Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks for taking the time and energy to graciously make this video to help out the rest of us. Very clear and calm directions made disassembly and reassembly a breeze. My challenge appears to have just be uneven lint build up on the blower wheel (as you suggested as the first check). Much appreciated!
Glad I could help!
Loved the step by step procedure, I tried cleaning some lint around the filter area and sure enough any lint I missed went down into the fan so two weeks later here I am taking apart my dryer
Nice work!
Thank you sir! Mine was packed with lint, removed it all and running smooth as silk now. You’re the man.
Glad it helped
I hope that is all mine is.
Thank you good sir! Found that mine was clogged up with lint, the box and all. Great tutorial.
Glad it helped
THANK YOU! had the exact symptom, but was due to a clogged impeller. Followed your video, located and fixed the issue. Purring like a cat now. Very grateful to you for creating this clip.
Glad it worked out for you David!
Thank-you for posting this, I followed your directions step-by-step. When I got the dryer apart, I found a golf pencil wedged in the blower wheel which was causing the vibration. Easy fix and simple to follow steps. Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. That was the problem. $27.00 and an hour of work = a quiet dryer again!!!
7 years later and still a helpful video!
Thanks for the kudos!
Thank you so much for posting this video. My dryer started making that horrible noise (mine seemed even louder) along with the vibration this morning. I will be ordering the part and hopefully my son and I can get it done. 🙂
Update: It turned out I did not need the part (yay). I texted this link to my son. He watched it and followed your directions and was able to fix the dryer. Once he unclogged it, removing all the lint, a pencil, 17 cent, a plastic token and a few other things, it was good as new. Thank you!
Man I had a basket ball of lint I was about to go to Lowes saw 2 videos you broke it down so easy fixed it in 25 minutes just with a Shop Vacuum..saved $700+ Thank you!!!
Cool!
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Mine ended up being the lint.
Hehe, yes, it seems from the comments, a lot of lint buildup lately...
Thank you!!! Extremely helpful. Got it fixed in 30 minutes and can now enjoy the weekend.
Weekend enjoyment is important!
This was very helpful! The fan on my unit ended up being thrown off balance with a big clump of link just like you thought yours was. Thanks for the info.
Glad it helped!
OMG THANK YOU!! I'm so proud of myself (thanks to your video)! All I had to do was remove the excess lint from the blower wheel. Now there's NO NOISE!
Glad it helped Stephani! Yes, in most cases it's just a clogged wheel. I was a bit surprised it wasn't the case for mine, but actually if mine was so simple, I probably wouldn't have made this video.
Thank you so much for the thorough video. I experienced the same vibration/noise issue and went ahead and checked the blower for accumulated lint. Indeed that was the issue. I pulled out and vacuumed all the lint that was preventing a smooth airflow and it now works fine.
Yep, I expected mine to just be accumulated lint too, but it wasn't, so I had to go further. However, had mine been the simple lint, this video wouldn't exist!
