I have a stacked Frigidaire FEZ831CA washer/dryer combo and when running the dryer it makes a very high pitched (AND LOUD) screeching sound. Any ideas as to what might be the problem? Thanks, Sean

Screeching sound
Sean, Bad felt gasket body to drum, if belt drive on dryer, it could be worn and slipping, making a screech, or if not the belt, the drum may have a worn bearing on its hub allowing it to run crooked and rub where it should not.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Brand new LG Washer/Dryer combo is making a terrible howl. Defective?

Sounds defective. All in ones are a compromise. You would be better off with a stacked unit. Try kneeing it when it is doing it. See if it changes pitch.

My Maytag stacking washer/gas dryer model SG1000 touch panel is making a high pitched electrical noise when the machines are off.

I have a stacked washer and dryer and the dryer does the same thing. When not running, there is a quiet but high pitched wine from the dryer control panel. Always thought it was normal because everything works great!

Hi, I have a frigidaire front load washer, model FTF2140ESO, that is making a high pitched screeching noise when it enters into the final spin cycle. The noise ramps up in volume as the drum spins faster....

Some times screws can work their way out near the drum and rub against the drum causing the squeak. You might have to take off the back of the washer and see if there is anything loose contacting the drum.

Very loud after stacking.

I assume you used the kit for stacking and removing the top of the washer and installing the plates?



You might need some sticky rubber pads to stop metal to metal contact and some duct tape around the vent exiting the dryer where it meets its back panel. This is common, you could go specific or browse ace hardware and find a compatible source.

Stacked Washer/dryer

possible the bearings are going. place yor hand in the bottom of the drum and run the drum around and feel the bearings for any wear/ noise/vibration. alteratively the bearings in the motor could have gone and spinning with the belt removed would prove this.
