Dryer gets louder after running for about 5 minutes

Could it be lint in exhaust that can't get out and then blower makes a noise?

SOURCE: Dryer making a louder than normal noise when drying

Possibly the roller, I would have to hear it to be sure, but if it sounds like a clunking noise, it is probably a roller, if it is more of a high pitched whine, or a sound like a penny in a vaccum you probably have something stuck in your blower.

SOURCE: lint is getting passed the filter into the exhaust

Some lint will always get by the lint screen on ANY dryer. None of these screens are perfect and, YES, this is normal. This is why a routine inspection of the dryer exhaust ducting and internal cabinet are recommended about once per season to ensure the dryer remains running efficiently.

However, there are some things to consider when it comes to dryer ducting installation. The following link explains:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3574332-dryer_ducting_installation_advice

Most excessive lint problems are a result of improperly installed dryer exhaust vent ducting. An excessively long run causes more resistance on the blower motor which will reduce its ability to sufficiently push all the lint out of the exhaust. Each bend in the run also creates choke points where lint can potentially accumulate.

The following link can give you some additional pointers on dryer heating efficiency:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3578821-dryer_takes_too_long_to_dry

You may or may not be experiencing poor efficiency, but if you are getting excessive lint build up, it will eventually lead to longer dry times and a dryer that will actually overheat to the point of failure. Excessive lint build up is also a fire hazard.

You will experience this problem with ANY dryer as the performance of the best dryer will alway depend upon how well it is installed. This is not to imply that you have done a poor job in installing your appliance. I'm providing this information to give you some things to consider. Most consumers are not aware of the fact that they still need to perform routine maintenance on their appliances to make sure they run efficiently and problem free.

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know, I hope this information is helpful to you.

2yr old maytag maxima dryer gets louder and louder after run 30min. prob. repeats after cool down and running again. Vent is clean new pipe, no error codes. Sounds like a surging vibration.

DRYER MAKES NOISES.



A loose or worn BELT can make funny noises

Or the idler pulley that puts tension on the dryer drum drive belt could be worn out. If the pulley is bad we recommend also replacing the belt.



The glides on drum worn and making metal to metal contact.

The drum slides or glides support the front of the drum. As the drum rotates over the years, the glides wear out and then the dryer makes noise. Replace all of the glides as a set if they are worn out.



CHECK FOR LOOSE BELLOES inside the drum



Sometimes an item can get stuck inbetween the drum and the housing and scrape and grind making funny noises, things like coins, bra wire, nails, hair pins, etc sometimes u can just remove the cabinet and observe by turning the drum by hand or looking for scratch or scrape marks on housing.



The blower:



Clumps of lint, socks, and other small articles of clothing can get past the lint filter and into the blower wheel. If the dryer makes noise, and the noise seems to be at a very fast pace, there might be something caught in the blower wheel. In addition, the blower wheel sleeve might be worn out, allowing the blower wheel to wobble on the motor shaft. If this happens, replace the blower wheel.



The bearings:

The drum bearing supports the rear of the dryer drum. If the dryer makes noise this bearing might be worn out. Replace the bearing if it is worn out. Do not lubricate the bearing, the lubrication will attract lint and dirt and accelerate the wearing process.

The bearings TEST by moving drum by hand u may be able to feel loose or rough movement. And listen to sounds when turning it.



The drum rollers or castors:



It is very common for dryer drum rollers to wear out. If the dryer makes noise, particularly a loud rumbling noise, one or more of the rollers may be worn out. After removing the drum from the dryer, inspect the rollers.

Check for cracks, dryness, or damage and not engaging drum properly. Sometimes u can use high density LITHIUM BASE gear grease to re oil/grease them.

My dryer is smoking and making a noise

This is not good and should be disconnected from power source until problem resolved. It sounds like an accumulation of lint in the dryer base, where motor / belt compartment are located. Vacuuming all the lint from inside the cabinet will reduce the risk of a lint fire. Cleaning the exhaust / vent hose all the way through to the outside of building will allow better air flow. I have used a leaf blower to do this. Disconnect the dryer hose from the back of the dryer, and insert the leaf blower nozzle. Secure hose to leaf blower nozzle as best you can so it is air tight. Switch on the leaf blower for half a minute or so. Any accumulated lint in the dryer vent line will be discharged to the outside of building. Reconnect dryer hose to dryer and test to see if clothes are now drying faster.

Maytag Legacy series dryer making loud noise. Sounds like something flapping.

A common problem on these dryers is the blower wheel itself will wobble out and make noises. Pop the top with a putty knife then remove the front panel. Check the blower housing for looseness.or something in it. I worked on a monkey wards dryer with a bad blower wheel and made crappy movie on my phone:

Whirlpool duet GGW9250PW2 not drying effectively. We run on more dry setting.

Sometimes blower wheels will get loose in dryers. Sometimes they will get a whole lump of lint in them or you can hear a rattling noise in the dryer, this is the blower wheel, its worn out and it can cause the fuse to blow too,or it can half *** work and take fifty forever's to dry the clothes.Or it could be just that the dryer needs a good blowing out .I use a lawn blower to get all the lint out of the dryer as well as the vent pipe and vent to outside. I take the filter HOUSING out and wash it also. That is, I remove the housing and clean is good! Making sure that the dryer is properly flowing air is a good thing!

Asko t701 dryer makes exsessive noise and drum rotates slowly

Mine was very noisy. Then I found the impeller clogged with lint. I cleaned it and now the noise is gone.

Remove the lower panel (2 Torx T20 screws).
Remove the impeller cover (1 Torx T10 screw and 4 snaps).
Clean impeller.
Reinstall covers. Don't overtighten screws.

Dryer runs for 5 minutes then stops

look in the vent line for a small disk shaped overload with two wires coming out of it. it may be bad. also check for a lint build-up in the exhaust line out of the blower. check the damper outlet going out of the house for a build-up of lint.
