SOURCE: DRYER IS MAKING A CONSISTENT BANGING NOISE WHEN RUNNING. DRUM IS TURNING AND DRYER DOES DRY OK.
Hi,
There are several things that can cause a dryer to be noisy. There
are a lot of moving parts in a dryer that can cause noises to occur
when they get worn. Several parts support the drum, and may make noise
or vibrations when worn out. Many times a dryer will squeak just a
little bit as it first starts. This should go away in just a few
seconds. Make sure nothing is loose inside the drum. Remove the lint
trap and look below the lint trap holder for any loose items that may
have slipped through the cracks.
The blower wheel is
always moving and lint is constantly going by it. If it’s noisy, it may
have gotten clogged with lint, or it may be worn and need to be
replaced. Clean out the area around the blower. If it’s still noisy,
replace it.
Many dryers use a center spindle to support the clothes drum. This
spindle may be a ball-and-socket support, or it may be a shaft inside a
sleeve. When these component bearings get worn out, they may make a
squealing or rubbing sound. Replace this bearing when it gets worn out.
Many dryers also use plastic glides in the front end of the clothes
drum. When these glides are worn out, you may hear a lot of noise. If
the glides are worn, replace them as a set.
Some dryers use rollers to support the clothes drum. If these
rollers or wheels are worn out, they can be extremely noisy. You ought
to replace the whole set at the same time. A belt that has been damaged
or frayed may make a thumping or slapping sound as the drum turns.
The gas valve solenoid will make a buzz type of sound as it opens.
The valve itself will give a little click as it starts the heat cycle,
when ignition begins, and when the burner is turning off. The burner
flame itself makes kind of a low-pitched roaring wind sound.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Urgent stop using it !!!!
The drum suspension is coming to bits , get someone in to look at it before the drum comes through the side of the machine

The load is out of balance. Open the lid and redistribute the contents. When it's empty, grab the basket and give it a slight push sideways. It should move a little but, not free swing. If it doesn't have much resistance, the "snubber" has dried out and should be replaced. It is simply a piece of rubber in a metal bracket, that rests on the tub. When the basket spins,the snubber keeps it from jumping around.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Since the suspension is ok and it is level, check your drive motor and spin bearing. Usually, these are the trouble parts when loud noises are associated with the spinning cycle. Your drive motor controls the spinning. Since the noise is during spinning, that is probably where your problem lies.

Maybe the heat in your dryer over time has melted weak glue and loose components are hitting against the drum
