Hi All,

Posting this because a similar thread never shared a video and was never solved.

Bought this dryer (EFME627UIW) somewhere in late 2020. Within a couple months of installation (Home Depot installed like animals), this high-pitched whining kicked in. Not sure where to start, please see attached and let me know your thoughts!

Thank you!

EFMG627UIWI Electrolux Dryer Makes Constant High Pitched Noise

My Electrolux gas dryer is just a few months old and is making a constant, high-pitched whine type of sound. Does anyone know what this is or if there is an easy fix? I went to Electrolux's site to make a warranty claim and it says they aren't doing "non-essential" service calls, which seems...

Also check the blower wheel for something caught in it:
