If your dryer is noisy, scour the interior of the drum for loose objects. Some noises are caused by objects bouncing around inside. If you cannot find any loose objects inside the drum, the noise may be caused by a defective part, such as a worn or defective drum belt, idler pulley, support rollers, glides, or worn motor bearings. It’s best to call an appliance repair service to replace these parts.

If your dryer runs but doesn’t tumble, this situation indicates that something is wrong with the door switch, motor, or belt. Call a qualified clothes dryer repair service.
