Dryer Noise Guide

"Chime" Sound

Your dryer may “chime” at the end of each cycle and periodically during Wrinkle Release if this option is selected; this is perfectly normal.

Rattling or Clanking Sounds

Rattling and clanking can also be caused by loose or foreign objects such as coins in the dryer.

• Try to run an empty cycle to see if the sound continues.
• Check for belt buckles or other fasteners on clothing items being dried that may cause rattling or clanking sounds.
• TIP: Fasten these items or turn your clothing inside out to reduce sounds. Check the pockets! Rattling and clanking can also be caused by loose or foreign objects such as coins in the dryer. Simply stop the dryer and check for any objects. If you don’t find anything and the noises continue, try running an empty load to see if the noise persists. This will allow you to determine if the noise is coming from the dryer or an article of clothing.

Clanking or Squeaking Sounds

This is usually caused when the unit is on a pedestal and has become loose.

Vibrating or Walking

• If this is a newly installed unit, make sure all the shipping bolts have been removed.
• Make sure the unit is leveled. (Refer to use and care manual)
