Check lubrication on idler wheels under the drum. Also lube the motor sleeve bearings. 30w for all. Dryers are incredibly easy to disassemble in my experience with a couple.

Hi, you either have a blower motor intermittent fault or a programmer fault. But i think it's a blower motor fault which you need to replace immediately and it is located under the hood in the back towards the driver's side...

SOURCE: 2001 Buick Lesabre lifters noisy

Have you tried flushing the engine crank case? You may have sludge clogging the valve lifter oil pressure ports. Get a can of Berrymans brand Chemtool, add it to a cold engine crankcase oil and run it for 5 miles or so, then change the oil and see if the noise level improves. Some tapping noise on cold start is normal and not a sign of any problem. If the noise goes away in my opinion I'd just do the flush of the system and then leave it alone.

Noisy blower on carrier weathermaker 8000

If the blower turns noisy check for any unbalanced like dirty blower, worn out blower bearings, worn out rubber mountings, loose bolts and nuts, or damaged v belts. These are the reasons making the blower noisy. Check also if the blower has any part damaged.

I Have the 27000 model free standing buck stove with the rear mount blower motor, for the last couple weeks it has been making alot of noise, rattling and grinding sounds. It blower works well but on...

Unfortunately you are describing bearings going bad in your motor. You can try oiling or greasing them as this is only a short term fix. The ultimate repair is going to be replacing the motor on the blower. When purchasing the next one see if they have the same style and mounting of motor with grease or oiling ports on it. These so called permanently lubercated bearings do not last as long as they say they will.You could try replacing the bearings in the motor instead of replacing it as well, how ever it is just easier to replace the motor. Good luck and sorry to be the bearer of bad news here.

My Haier dehumidifier is really noisy. If we turn it off and restart it, it will run quietly for maybe 4 minutes and then start getting really noisy again. Any ideas what is causing it and what I can do...

Hi,

With the unit unplugged, open the cover and check the alignment of the fan. If the fan is stuck or rubbing against the fan cowling, adjust the fan motor's mounting hardware so that the fan turns freely.

Take care.

Dryer guide wheel was noisy and I opened the dryer up and found the wheel and stud badly scored. Fixed that and put machine back together and now the motor is very noisy and the machine shuts off...

you need to check the blower fan. the motor has a "D" shaped shaft. over time the blower wears, the motor will spin but the blower does not. the air flow stops and the drier over heats. replace the blower and it should be fine.

Dryer is very noisy during dyring cycle.Used to be so quiet you would have to check to see if it was running.

Your complaint is;"Dryer is very noisy during dyring cycle.Used to be so quiet you would have to check to see if it was running".
You have not provided a brand name or model number. I I can only offer information based on genric or common solutions. Below is a link that should prove helpful if you need additional information.

This link, http://www.repairclinic.com/SmartSearch/SmartSearch.aspx, provides exploded view imagery, belt routing diagrams, parts imagery and function, parts ordering and shipping information, error code details, just about anything you need to get your appliance up and running again. Just follow the links to navigate through the site.

You will need to enter the model number stamped on the manufacturers product information data tag, located on the unit, and not in the User’s Manual. to access your product information.
If your dryer is noisy, check these:

Rollers
Idler pulley
Glides
Rear drum bearing
Blower wheel
Rollers Many dryers use rollers or wheels to support the clothes drum. When these rollers are worn, they can be noisy. You should replace the whole set of rollers at the same time.

Idler pulley Dryers have a tension or idler pulley that keeps tension on the main drive belt. When it's worn, it can be noisy. When that happens, don't lubricate it. Just replace it.

Glides Many dryers use nylon or plastic glides at the front of the clothes drum for support. When these are worn, they can be noisy. When that happens, replace them.

Rear drum bearing Some dryers support the clothes drum in the rear with a center spindle instead of rollers. The spindle may be a ball-and-socket type support or a shaft through a sleeve. When the components are worn, they may squeak, squeal, or rub. You can't repair them. Just replace them when they're worn.

Blower wheel Your dryer's blower wheel pulls air over the heat source, through the clothes drum, and past the thermostats, then pushes it out the exhaust duct. The blower wheel, which is usually plastic, may wear out over time. But if it's noisy, it may simply be clogged with lint. Clean the blower and test to see if the dryer is still noisy. If it is, you probably need to replace it.

If my assistance helped resolve this issue, please show your appreciation by rating how effective my advice was in resolving this issue.
Thank you,

Nutone WA6500 range hood fan motor noisy

We have the same product, 18 months in use and the very noisy motor has finally seized up. I contacted the manufacturer and was advised that I need a new motor, motor mounting bracket and fan rotor. The agent was not able to quote me a price for the parts but stated that even though my 1-year warranty had expired, if I faxed them a copy of the original sales reciept they could possibly send me the parts for free under the original warranty agreement. I've done as they asked but haven't received a reply as yet. After reading about all the problems with this product I'm tempted to dump the whole unit and try to find another manufacturer that has a reliable and QUIET range hood.
