Blomberg dryer loud noise
Hello, I made this repair Oct 20, 2021. I have the exact same Blomberg DV17542 dryer. It was making a horrible vibration sound while empty and full. Not exactly the sound you had but a loud vibration noise. I just posted the video on youtube, search "Blomberg Dryer Vibration Blower). The top panel was vibrating loud but I knew there was something internally wrong with it.
I purchased a rear bearing($20 Canadian and 4 new frictional glides$7 each(where the drum rests on at the front of the dryer). I took the dryer apart, it was fairly straightforward, removed the drum, changed the rear bearing and replaced all 4 glides. I figured this would fix it....but no! Was disappointed hearing the noise again.
I figured it had to be the motor or the blower fan. I inspected the blower fan from the back without having to remove it and bingo! I could see lint or something else inside the blower wheel.
I used needle-nose pliers to reach in and pull out what was inside. I pulled out a fabric sheet covered in lint, and when I pulled that one out I could see another behind it. I pulled the second one out, vacuumed the fan, and made sure it spun freely and wasn't damaged.
Turned the dryer on and could hear a pin drop it was soo quiet. Problem solved. Any questions let me know, it could be the bearing, frictional glides, motor or blower wheel.
