My dryer makes a very loud rumbling noise when the drum spins. It’s a low pitch rumble (not the high pitch squealing that I have heard with prior dryer). It still dries the clothes and functions properly, but it’s just very loud, almost as if there was a heavy object spinning and bouncing with the drum (there’s only clothes). How can I fix it?
Is this a good question?

Hi @mbialas ,
It may be a faulty roller assembly. (supplier example only to show location, how to replace and the possible cost for each one)
There are 2 roller assemblies part #K250 & K251 and it is suggested if one is faulty to replace both. Search online for 4581EL2002H to find suppliers that suit you best.

Thank you so much. That makes sense that it may be the rollers. Thank you!!!

Hi @mbialas ,
What is the model number of the dryer?
Does the drum rotate evenly and smoothly when you turn it by hand?

Model # DLE8377NM
The drum rotates evenly but I had to use a bit more force than I recall in the past to move it. It does not skip, catch or shake but it feels like it's on rollers that are making the rumbling noise, almost like a rough vibration.
