Thank you so much for this video. I ordered the tear drop part from amazon for £3.00 and my dryer is now fixed. Took me about 15 minutes, saved me £200 for a new dryer which I was on the verge of ordering till I saw your video. Brilliant, thank you.
You have just saved me £250 because of your clear instructions. my husband!survived another day because he could follow you easily. He doesn’t follow instructions ever as he likes to just pull and hit things until they work. 🤣
Mate your a diamond. I actually bought a new drier after this problem and this one is doing the same. It's exactly what you've diagnosed.. I'll buy you a beer next time your in the pub
Love this video. My dryer started squeaking a week ago. called a few people and was told repair would cost £45-65. Typed in 'Dryer Squeaking' on RUclips and this came up. followed the video and the problem was exactly as described. fixed it myself for £10. Woop woop. Thanks
So glad that I found your video, my dryer had the loud noise, I went on a help desk site who wanted me to pay £5 for technical advice which would then take £24 per month off me, but luckily your video solved my problem, and I have fitted a new teardrop bearing....happy days! Thanks a million!!
Brilliant! Thank you very much for this video. After ordering a teardrop bearing for my Hotpoint, I repaired our tumble dryer in less than half an hour. That dreaded squealing has now gone.
you just saved me 80 Euro + with this video, probably more, because the repair company I contacted tried to sell me on the idea that the entire drive train might need replacing. Fair play!
Like others, I also had this problem on my 3 year old machine. Others said tension arms, but on mine I had drum, belt and motor. Then gave my machine a massive blast, problem still was there then found this video. Yes I had the black dust and the washer was defo collapsed. So bought another. Awesome :-)
Thank you for this video! We were considering buying a new dryer until I watched the way you mended yours. With your clear instructions and for the price of a teadrop bearing it now sounds like new! 😄 Thanks again.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I did suspect this might be my problem but jumped in for a pulley replacement AGAIN. You were spot on. Good work.
Thank you for this. I had the same issue. Watched your video, ordered the brass bush /bearing. 10 mins grovelling round the floor at the back of the dryer and now its like new, no noise !
Absolutely brilliant. Got rid of the grinding noise. I was thinking of replacing the dryer as it's often cheaper than getting someone to repair. Thank's.
This simple fix has just saved me a new tumble dryer - thanks! Dryer started screeching, I followed your instructions and found the teardrop bearing almost completely worn through on one side. Replaced the bearing for £6. Looking forward to a few more years service from the dryer now.
Thank you for this! I just checked my tumble dryer and there is so much debris. I used a bit of wd40 and ordered the part from amazon. You are a life saver. As soon as I get it, I will put it in place.
Thank hea ens my Google-fu was strong and I found your video. Easy to follow instructions even I can follow. Found that black dust just as you showed have ordered the part just got to wait for it to arrive thanks so much. A quick update the parts arrived and it took less than 10 mins to fix after following your instructions Thanks so much
I just wanted to post the most massive thanks possible for this video. My Indesit dryer has started making this noise. And it's excruciating. We are in the Covid19 lockdown so cannot bring anyone in to fix it or order a new dryer. This fix looks like its a 5min fix. Ordered the teardrop from eBay just now after seeing this.
@@goldgas1216 I got the part yesterday from an eBay seller, took about 10mins to attach. And it is now fixed. I am not exaggerating by saying you are a life saver. I was expecting to need to pay another £300-£400 for a new Dryer. That I could not afford during the Covid lockdown. It is unbelievable that's £3 attachment that takes 7mins to fix achieved this fix.
Thanks so much for the video mate, our dryer started this and I work from home in the room the dryer is in. I got in fixed in no time when the part arrived, I used some wd40 while I was waiting, that stopped the squeaking for a week or so.
Was absolutely dreading having to pay a call out fee or worse, a new dryer which like many others I can do without right now. Quick trip to my local appliance repair shop and ten minutes later I can dry the kids uniforms. You legend.
This video inspired me and gave me the confidence to try more "ambitious" projects. Unfortunately, my wife's heart transplant was less successful than my tumble dryer repair efforts. I'm eligible for parole in 2035.
Thanks so much for this video. We were pricing up a new tumble drying before I decided to google for advice. I got the bearing from EBay and it was an easy ten minute job to replace it. Just one question. Should I have added grease to the bearing or does it work “dry”?
Hi thanks for your video you mentioned a washer in the video my bearing drop seems ok but no washer is there a separate washer that may have deteriorated as I did not see you add one and mine had a lot of black dust as you mentioned
1:26 the plastic cover you removed at 1:26, is it important or just a cosmetic cover? The reason I ask is because my plastic cover has broken off and I'm wondering if its necessary to replace it. Also it appears the end of the rod has severed and the end has fallen off, hopefully I can replace this myself?
Great video, did mine in ten minutes. Surprised to find this is a bushing not a bearing, very poor design. Going to modify mine with a proper ball bearing bearing.
Do you not what this part is actually called? You was spot on with you video and this it what has happened to my tumble dryer! I have a hotpoint tumble dryer btw!
Fantastic video thanks! I've just commented on someone else's problem as halfway through a dry the noise is back 😐. Not as bad but still concerning . *cry . Just wondering if it could be something else in addition to the bearing ? The dryer was exactly as your video worn away , dropped , black dust. Everything . Textbook. But now the noise has come back 🤔😬 wondered if anyone else had this? Or if it could have been 2 problems originally?... much appreciation x
You need to order a genuine Indesit teardrop bearing. I bought a generic one and the metal was so soft, it had worn out in two weeks! Also, lubricate the new bearing with white lithium grease.
I turned the square plastic bearing block round on the back of the machine but the scraping noise is still present as if the front of the drum is rubbing on metal, but further investigation shows there is a felt lining between the front rim of the drum and the plastic door housing, looks like I will have to buy a new one 😢 thanks for video anyway 👍
Hello, I have the same problem, but before I made this wonderful video, I dismantled one of the sides of the dryer, and when I put the parts back in place, unfortunately, another sound became like the drum rubbing against parts of the dryer, and when I put the laundry in the dryer, some of them cling to the edges of the drum from the inside because it is not attached well. Please. Help me repair the dryer
Sir I am watching your video change and change the bearing when I fixed tumble dryer of indesit but my tumble dryer is running only side not rotating other side I don't know what happens maybe wiring connection fault kindly can you help me how to resolve this problem thank you very much I am waiting your reply sir
I was so close to ordering a new one until I saw this video. Amazing to think how much waste there is because of poor design. It took me about 15 mins to replace the past and hey presto, feels like a new machine... The component cost £6 for 2 pieces!
Crap design really for a so called bearing, should be a proper sealed bearing so it lasts much longer considering the amount of operations/revolutions the tumble dryer actually does
Perfect mate I have the same dryer just squeaky going one way mostly and its squeak squeak squeak not a constant one yet but just ordered the part from amazon for £5.99 delivered.👍
Just had a brand new tumble delivered.. posted a video.. please check it out as it’s making a right bloody noise.. surely this can’t be normal for a new machine?

No words for how grateful I am!! Thank you!!
Excellent stuff, just saved me buying a new dryer.
Thanks mate 👍
Thank you very much for the video. Same machine as mine so you saved me calling out a repair!
you just saved me 80 Euro + with this video, probably more, because the repair company I contacted tried to sell me on the idea that the entire drive train might need replacing. Fair play!
Great informative video. Checked my squealing dryer and this was exactly what the issue was. Thanks😃
I second all the other positive comments. Great video, clear with good pointers for the diy enthusiast! Cheers!

absolute legend. Literally thought it was a problem with the guts of the machine. Going to order the part now.

Thank you for this :)

That is the same model as my dryer and the same noise. Saved me a load of cash, thanks.

This video saved me about £250 on a new dryer. Cheers!
Top lad, just ordered the bit, and your vid explained why the squeek went if I tipped the unit forward.
Was absolutely dreading having to pay a call out fee or worse, a new dryer which like many others I can do without right now. Quick trip to my local appliance repair shop and ten minutes later I can dry the kids uniforms. You legend.
Thank you so much, worked a treat. 🎉
Great video, all fixed for less that £6. Cheers

Cheers for the vid! Cured my tumble dryers screams
Thanks for the video just sorted my problem had exactly the same fault
Thank you! Superstar!

I replaced the bearing wasn't easy as the drum had slipped a bit, but got it in and working although still a little squealing
Thank you so much!! fixed it. Super thanks:)
Glad it helped 👍
Brilliant, £4.75 on Amazon, thank you 🙏 👍🏻
Great video, did mine in ten minutes. Surprised to find this is a bushing not a bearing, very poor design. Going to modify mine with a proper ball bearing bearing.
Hey, what size torx screwdriver are you using?
Just changed mine and perfect, but still a slight minimal noise. Is it worth greasing or wd40 the spinrod a bit?
Thank you!
thanks a lot for that tip thought the bearings was inside if you dont know you dont know
Do you not what this part is actually called? You was spot on with you video and this it what has happened to my tumble dryer! I have a hotpoint tumble dryer btw!
Same I'm looking all over the internet but can't find a part that looks like the bearing in the video.
changed part which had deffo gone but it still makes the squeek have i done something wrong or is it something else
Ayup mate. Do you have video on how to fix a hotpoint aquarius door that pops open by itself? This vid was a massive help for the noise.
I replaced that part and I thought it solved the squeaky noise, but after a few weeks it came back… is there any other part that might need replacing?
Replaced 4 months ago now needing to replace it again?
Fantastic video thanks! I've just commented on someone else's problem as halfway through a dry the noise is back 😐. Not as bad but still concerning . *cry .

You need to order a genuine Indesit teardrop bearing. I bought a generic one and the metal was so soft, it had worn out in two weeks! Also, lubricate the new bearing with white lithium grease.

What happens if I pull this all off and the ball pin has snapped and a part is stuck inside the back? Thanks
I turned the square plastic bearing block round on the back of the machine but the scraping noise is still present as if the front of the drum is rubbing on metal, but further investigation shows there is a felt lining between the front rim of the drum and the plastic door housing, looks like I will have to buy a new one 😢 thanks for video anyway 👍

another happy family as I checked the back and obvs this was the issue. £5 for bearing and pretty sure it will sort. Thank you
Sir I am watching your video change and change the bearing when I fixed tumble dryer of indesit but my tumble dryer is running only side not rotating other side I don't know what happens maybe wiring connection fault kindly can you help me how to resolve this problem thank you very much I am waiting your reply sir
Replaced this bearing a couple of months ago and it’s gone again, is there something else going wrong inside the dryer? Thanks in advance
You need a genuine Indesit bearing, the generic ones are a waste of time.
What do you do if the tear drop bearing is fine and its still making that horrible noise 😅
Fixed, thanks
Thank you. Dryer fixed, for £3.99 ideal
Where do I go to buy a tear drop Bearing and are they all the same size or are they all different
Online but make sure it's a genuine Indesit part or it will be a waste of time and money.
@@BuckblacketWhat is the name of the piece
Hi, what's the name of the part?
I've literally got this exact dryer along with the noise 😅
Hi I had the very same problem. I knew what was wrong and fixed it the very same way. It didn't even last a week 🤯😤 what should I do now.
I was so close to ordering a new one until I saw this video. Amazing to think how much waste there is because of poor design. It took me about 15 mins to replace the past and hey presto, feels like a new machine... The component cost £6 for 2 pieces!
i couldnt find a torque screwdriver so used a allen key smallest i could find if that helps anyone
Can't pull the metal S off
Crap design really for a so called bearing, should be a proper sealed bearing so it lasts much longer considering the amount of operations/revolutions the tumble dryer actually does
Perfect mate I have the same dryer just squeaky going one way mostly and its squeak squeak squeak not a constant one yet but just ordered the part from amazon for £5.99 delivered.👍
Ace mate, let me know how you get on. Cheers for watching mate
Just had a brand new tumble delivered.. posted a video.. please check it out as it’s making a right bloody noise.. surely this can’t be normal for a new machine?
Sorry just seen this, you got it sorted 👍
