The drum insde that rotates, is usually held in place by three or four big springs or rubber shock absorbers so that it can move a little but not too much, and if they have come loose or got old, the drum will have more freedom to move about, especially if all the clothes are at one point in the drum. Sometimes there is an adjuster device which consists of two nuts on a threaded bar that can be unlocked from each other, move along a bit then tightened together again. other types of adjuster exist but are usually more difficult to adjust, and some don't have and adjustment. If the maximum adjustment has been reached or there is no adjustment, you will probably need to change the springs/shock absorbers. please do not proceed to open the unit unless it is outside its guarantee period as doing so whilst still under guarantee may void that guarantee. If it is still under guarantee, phone the seller and describe the situation to them, they have almost certainly had this situation before and should repair or replace it. If you have been washing trainers in it, don't mention that to them ;o)

You can click on the link below to find a detailed breakdown down diagram of your dryer. there are actually 5 models that come under the DBL333EA family.... so choose your model from the list given and if you need to replace any part... you can always get it from the same website....

Knocking sounds

Ususally knocking is a sign that the rubber belt which spins the dryer tub is old and has hardened. If the knocking sound gets quieter after you have run the dryer for 30 minutes or so, then the belt is the problem. As the dryer turns, it heats up the rubber belt and makes the belt more pliable. This quiets the knock. I have seen dryers work fine for years, knocking the whole time. Have the belt replaced if the sound bothers you.
