The dryer is making a thumping or grinding sound.

The sound is caused by the high airflow rate in the ducting of the dryer. This is not a fault.

–To determine if the noise is due to airflow, temporarily remove the exhaust duct from the machine. If the noise lessens, the ductwork is the cause of the noise. Rigid or flexible aluminum ducting is the best option for reducing the noise.

If the problem persists please contact Technical Service.
