However, there are a few simple things to try before you attempt your own dryer repair or call a dryer repair technician.

Noisy Operation   

• Many complaints stem from drum supports that have worn out. It usually sounds like a loud, low-pitched rumbling sound that slowly gets worse over a period of time. If a belt breaks a loud grinding or clattering noise will result. Replace the belt.    
• You may get a rumbling noise if a belt tensioner pulley seizes up or the tensioner spring breaks.    
• A regular clack-clack sound as the dryer drum is turning may be coins stuck inside the removable plastic dryer vanes. To solve the problem, open the top of the dryer then remove the plastic vane on the inside of the dryer drum by removing the screws on the outside of the dryer drum that hold it in place.    
• Sometimes, things can get by the lint screen (like pencils and pens) and get stuck in the blower wheel. Again, it's a loud grinding sound, as if you were sticking something into a moving blower fan.   

Not Drying Well 

• Usually this is caused by poor airflow. Feel the dryer vent exhaust (usually outside the house.) If there isn't a strong blast of air coming out check the vent to see if its clogged.   
• You may see similar symptoms if the motor has gone bad, except that you probably will not hear the motor turning. If the motor is locked, you may hear it buzzing.  

Low / No Heat

This can be caused by poor airflow in all dryers, but especially in gas dryers. Check the dryer vent and exhaust as described above.   

This can also be caused by a problem with the air heating system within the dryer. It could be a range of things, from a thermostat to an electric heating elements.   

Too Hot 

This complaint is sometimes caused by thermostat problems but in an electric dryer, it may be caused by poor airflow.
