Dryer making rumblung noise kinda sounds like a steam locomotive. I did notice the drum has some play to it. Noise probably caused from wobbling. What do I need to fix this issue?

Hi,

LE5720XSN0

I found LE5720XSW0 LE5720XSW1 LE5720XSG1

Dryer making rumblung noise kinda sounds like a steam locomotive

Chunk missing from the drum belt.
Drum rollers wheels.
Something caught in the fan blower wheel ( chunk of lint, dryer sheet ).
Would have to be investigated.

I did notice the drum has some play to it

Good.

Helps and tips...

Parts came in today. Do I work from the lower front or back?

 

[pac.attack76]

Actually got it. Top had to come up and front off. Remove belt from pulling and take out drum. Replace everything and put back. Real quiet now

 

[jeff1]

Glad things are quiet now
Thankx for the update.
