Problem with tumble dryer that has started making loud noise.

I have a second hand tumble dryer: Whirlpool 6th sense AWZ2413 vented. It has started making a real racket. I have removed top lid and discovered that the noise is ONLY whilst it is turning CLOCKWISE. It sounds almost as if the side panel/back are loose, making it rattle. It's NOT a banging, squeaking or rubbing noise. The dryer is otherwise making normal quiet noise when turning anti-clockwise and working normally.

Dryers are designed to operate in one direction. Some models turn clockwise and some turn counter-clockwise. Do not run it backwards. The direction of air flow will be impeded or reversed.
