Belt, bearings etc. awful awful noises. Need to replace parts! bosch dryer wtmc 3300

I had a similar problem with a different model Bosch dryer. First I made sure the dryer was unplugged. I found, after taking the front and rear panels off, that one of the front wheels that supports the drum was broken. I replaced the wheel and it works fine with no squeaks.

check bearings tranny spin bearing and tub bearing

If a noise is heard or even a HUM you can use a small tube to probe with one side kept to your ear. Trace the noise to the actual unit , if this is the motor humming check the capacitor as a faulty capacitor will not start the motor.
Also check for free movement of the motor drive as if there is tightness in the drive the motor will not work.

Your drum rollers need lubrication or replacment

heating element

this could also be caused by a bad idler tension pulley for the belt.but you need to check the roller wheels.to make sure there is no abnormal wear,i hope this helps and good luck

Have the unit taken apart to inspect bearings and glides. While there, vaccuum all the lint.

Hi there!

I think it is the drum main bearing that has started to sieze.

If it is not this, then the drive belt may need replacement.

If this leads to a solution, please take a moment to accept. Thank you.
