Before: Whirlpool Dryer Making a Grinding Noise (Real Picture Below)
The customer noticed a grinding and rubbing sound while the dryer was operating.
Our technician inspected the Whirlpool dryer and traced the noise to wear in the dryer bearing system.
Grinding, scraping, squealing, or rumbling noises can develop when components that support the dryer drum begin to wear. The sound may start intermittently and become increasingly noticeable as the dryer continues to operate.

What Was Causing the Grinding Noise?
After inspecting Whirlpool model WED560LHW2, our technician determined that the dryer needed a bearing repair kit.
A worn bearing or drum-support component can prevent the drum from rotating smoothly and create metal-on-metal or rubbing noises during operation.
Continuing to operate a dryer with a significant grinding noise may cause additional wear to nearby components, so it is a good idea to have the dryer inspected before the problem becomes more serious.
After: New Dryer Bearing Repair Kit Installed
Our technician installed a new bearing repair kit, reassembled the dryer, and tested the unit through operation.
The drum was rotating normally again and the grinding noise was eliminated.
Repair completed: $390.00

Technician Tip: Don’t Ignore a New Grinding Noise
A grinding dryer doesn’t automatically mean the dryer needs to be replaced.
Depending on the model, the problem may involve the drum-support system, bearing, rollers, pulley, belt, or another mechanical component.
A proper inspection helps identify the actual source of the noise before unnecessary parts are replaced.
