Hotpoint dryer very very noisey - Dryers

hi push the top of drum at back in side upwards if it lifts bearing is worn if so take cover of back remove wire pin to change bearing

I would say its the dampers on the underside of the drum.
One or both have failed and need to be replaced.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about dryers and noises...
It will help you determine what is happening there...

Asker's Testimonial " This should give me an ida of what to look for once I open er up " -

It could be a noisey idler pulley that belt rides on, or a noisey drum bearing or drum glides, or even possibly a motor bearing going bad. Would need to be checked by repairman to determine exact cause.

you will need to change the blower wheel .

If you've just installed it for the first time ensure that transporting locks been removed (big screws under usualy yellow or white plastic covers at the back side of the machine)
Make sure that machine is standing flat on the floor with no swinging whe you try to move it, this can be achieved by adjusting four legs of the machine (one at each corner).
If neither of those helps than you need to identify when the noise appears what machine is doing at that moment. If the noise appears when it's draining, pumping water out, than your machine's pump is wearing out, or if it's noisy when spining (final spin) than bearing of the drum is wearing out.

Update me about your progress

Good Luck

• Hi,
• Try these:

1. Balance the load
   
2. Level the machine
   
3. Inspect the water pump for a blockage
   
4. Inspect the coupling
   
5. Inspect the transmission
   
6. Adjust the drive belt tension
   
7. Check the motor bearings
   
8. Check the drum brakes
