Dryer Rattling: Safe Checks & When to Call Service

A loose or vibrating sound appears. Start by recording the exact model and what changed. A symptom alone cannot identify a failed part; these checks stay outside the appliance and within normal owner use.

What to check safely

  • Check loose items in the drum
  • Ensure the cabinet is not touching another object
  • Request service for internal or persistent noise

Stop if a step would require removing an electrical cover, bypassing a lock, opening a gas connection, or handling refrigerant. Your exact model manual controls the procedure.

Make the result useful

Record when the problem starts, whether an error message appears, and whether the safe checks changed anything. Compare that with the dryer troubleshooting section of your exact owner manual. If the symptom persists or a hazard is present, request qualified service.
