First off what's the brand name and model number?if it's not a metal sound like the frame vibrating check the blower wheel,as soon as the motor starts to spin so does the blower wheel,but that could be alot of things depending on the model you have.

SOURCE: lint trap

There should be a rectangular flap on the top panel at the rear right of your dryer. the lint filter is in a chute if there is just a hole here then the filter is missing.

SOURCE: Lint fell down the lint trap. How do I get it

Luckily, dryers are light. Best thing to do is pull it out until you can remove the back cover. (unplug it first) Then vacuum and clean all the dust and lint you can. This should be a yearly thing at least anyway. Replace the back plug it in and slid it back. I do mine every 6 months or so.

The lint filter does not fit properly in the lint trap. The corner of the filter catches an item of clothing and twists it. I have to check it several times to clear the item away. I assume this...

We have the same model and experience the same thing. The way I fix it is to remove the filter, then with a flash light I look down into the lint trap. You will notice that lint has built up in the track where the lint filter sits. I use a wooden skewer to run along the track and lift out the lent. Hope that helps

I have a Maytag Atlantis Dryer Model MDE6400AYW - it is making a loud screeching noise which seems to be coming from the rear of the dryer. I have unplugged it and removed all the lint from every possible...

If you remove the screws from the lint trap shute, unscrew the 2 screws on the back side of the control panel, on the outer back, and take a flathead screwdrivew or putty knife to the front corners of the lid, you can pop the tabs and lift the top to remove the front of the dryer, to access the drum and motor.

Something (like a lolli-pop stick) got through the

If you can't get a vaccum hose through the lint trap and **** it out then you may have to remove the lint vent pipe in the rear. Reach up in there or try sucking it out with the vaccum. If no good then you may have to remove the rear panel and then do a good cleaning. Your vent duct maybe able to take apart finding the noise. At this point it maybe more trouble than it's worth.

My dryer is heating up but it takes a long time to dry.

If the clothes are coming out wet and hot after the first cycle then there is a blockage in the exhaust. This blockage could be at the lint trap or at the exhaust tube leaving from the back of the dryer. You need to check the lint filter area by removing the lint filter and with a flashlight look into the area where the lint filter was to see if there is any build up of lint. If so, you will need to clean this area. Also at the back of the dryer there is a hose that comes from the dryer to an outlet to the out side. This hose could be clogged with lint or possibly kinked to where the proper amount of air flow is not allowed to leave the dryer therefore causing the clothes to have to dry longer. Check these two areas first before going any further due to these checks are simple and may solve the problem.

Good luck hope this helped

I CAN HAVE MY DRYER ON THE HOTTEST SETTING AND IT GETS HOT BUT TAKES LIKE 3 TIMES THROUGH A CYCLE TO DRY MY STUFF

I would first pull the exhaust hose or pipe off and check for blockage or a kink. If its getting hot then its probably an air flow issue. Also make sure the lint trap is clean. Sometimes you can get the crevice attachment for a vacuum down in the lint trap area far enough to clean any excess lint out. Check where the dryer exhausts outside for a blockage like maybe birds nest or bees hive. I hope this helps.

Loud rattling noise.

Hi there SmartAlec from NelsonVacuums.com.au here. Often when an upright is making a rattling noise it can be something caught in the roller and every time the brush turns it knocks against the body and since it turns really fast it can sound quite bad. Take the roller out and clean inside that area and see if that helps. Hope it does. Happy Vacuuming :)
