How to Fix a Noisy Dryer - Troubleshooting and Repairing

In this video, I show you how to troubleshoot and repair and noisy dryer. This dryer was making a bad vibrating and rattling sound. It turned out that the blower wheel was damaged and needed replaced.

The clothes dryer in this video is a Whirlpool Dryer. This repair will apply to Kenmore, Roper, Maytag and many other models. At first I thought something was lodged in the blower wheel housing, but it turned out that it was broken.

After the dryer was repair, we checked the venting and found out that it was plugged with lint. So my theory on why the blower wheel failed is that it overheated and became brittle due to the plugged dryer vent.

RIP Bill. The video he created helped me immensely, and I'm saddened to learn of Bill's passing. Thankfully, he will continue to teach and inform many others in the future; a good legacy for a talented man.

It's September 20th, 2017, I'm 49 years old and I just fixed my dryer thanks to your video. There wasn't anything broken, but while taking off the front of it we heard something metal drop. Apparently a coin somehow got stuck somewhere and that was making the noise. Thanks Mr. Bill Newberry, you just saved me some money.

Man, so sad to hear Bill passed away. Fortunately, I had some paper lodged in my blower wheel so I was able to just remove it without having to order new parts. This video helped tremendously! RIP Bill!

This was spot on. I had to do the maintenance kit on a relative's Kenmore (Whirlpool made "110" model prefix) dryer and I suspected that the blower wheel may have damage after watching this video. Sure enough, both the maintenance kit and the blower wheel were an issue. This video was right on the money. Even after Mr. Newberry's passing, his videos continue to help others.

RIP, Mr. Newberry.

Great informative video, thank you for posting it. I heard something running around inside the dryer. It was a chipmunk as it got in through the vent. I placed a black plastic bag around the dryer vent and turned it on and he ran into the bag. He appeared dead but had lint stuffed in his nose and my wife took it out with tweezers and he recovered and ran away after a minute.

Once a year I take the outside cover off and use a leaf blower from the inside to blow out the dryer tubing. Mine runs across the house for about 20 feet (solid tube, not ribbed), so stuff builds up pretty quick :) Clogged vents can cause quite a few issues. Glad to see this guy only had a broken blower fan!!

excellent! Brings me back to the days when I worked on them for Sears

Rest in peace, you will be missed. My deepest condolences to your family

This guy is awesome! I have a whirlpool dryer also and I bought it in 2000 it's been a good machine but if not for this guy it would have been to the curb a few times! Thanks bill !
You make it look easy! You doing that in a two foot space is for the pro! The tension wheel alone! It doesn't stay put you put the drum in it falls out lol great job as always!! I don't comment a lot but I'm watching !

Thank you for posting this! I have never fixed anything to do with belts but today I got a little compact dryer that wasn't spinning/tumbling. I sat there for 3 hours trying to figure it out I watched your video and literally copied what you did with the belt and pulley and it started spinning! Thank you 😊😊😊😊
