✨ELECTROLUX DRYER MAKING NOISES-EASY FIX✨

[@crazyawakening]

Thanks for this. I actually read the comments and also was able to take all the lint out without disassembling the façade. But your video got me going in the right direction and then the comment of the person who was able to pull the lint out without removing all the front pieces was great. My dryer is stacked so it would’ve been a real pain just to pull it down to do this. So thank you and thanks for the comments.

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is Awesome 😊

[@deist921]

Did this today. Used my wife’s little hands to clean out the wheel. It worked perfectly! Thanks for the video! I’m a sub now.

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is Awesome 😊

[@cierra0brooke]

Thought our rollers or a belt had failed because the banging was so loud. Attempted this as a first troubleshoot and it worked! Poor design by Electrolux on the blades attracting lint. Glad this put off the need for a new dryer for many more years, and saved an expensive repair visit (neighbor had a recent group out for $400!). Thank you!!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nicely done 👍😊

[@jerellh.7816]

Oh my gosh. Soo glad i fount this video. Had my dryer for about 7 years and it just recently starting making a wierd noise. I was just about to call the service guy and decided to do a search. It sounded like one of the rollers or a bearing was bad. Soo glad i found your video. Its purring like a kitten again. Thank you!

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is Great News😊👍

[@misterjed.h]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found this video, drier is now sounding brand new again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@FastFreeFixes]

I love it. Thanks so much 😊

[@StiggsRX]

Thank the maker I found this video. My Electrolux dryer recently started makes such a loud noise when running. It felt like the whole house was going to fall down. We were at our wits end, and were even contemplating buying a new dryer just to stop the noise. Found this video and cleaned the dryer! It worked!! My dryer is back to normal. Thank you so much. You saved us the cost of a new dryer. Thank you again!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so much David 👍😊If we helped you to fix your machine, Please donate: venmo.com/u/Scott-Flint-1

[@pmarcotty2]

Thank you very much. My dryer’s noise was 10x worse than what you have in your video so I didn’t have much hope that cleaning the blower wheel would help, but after two hours of cleaning the vanes and vacuuming out a couple pounds of lint, the dryer is sooo much better and almost back to sounding new. Thank you!

[@FastFreeFixes]

That would s Awesome Pete😊😊😊

[@Gigikelli]

What a great guy showing me how to fix my own dryer. That's amazing!! Thank you so much

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so much Kelly😊👍

[@lsmith4608]

Pulled out so much lint. Have had this dryer for 5 years, no issues, no noise. But when it started it was awful. Had two techs out. Both said oh its just Electrolux and you should just get used to it. What? Used your advice and you can't imagine how much lint came out and to my surprise a lint dryer sheet was in the mix. Yikes! I couldn't get the wire to work for me so I just got my hand down in there. Tight fit, but it worked well. Thank you so much.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nicely done 😊😊😊

[@justinpotter5127]

This worked. My Electrolux is quite again! Thanks!

[@msbevvie6969]

Worked for me. 👍🏾👍🏾Thanks so much. I really appreciate you for sharing.

You’re very welcome 😊

[@tinablankenship4534]

I had reached out to a technician and had no response. I am so grateful I watched this before they responded. You just saved me a lot of money. This was the fix!!! I am so grateful! Thank you for taking the time to teach us DIY solutions!!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so much Tina, I’m so glad it worked❤️😊👍

[@susans8146]

AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and saving us the cost of a service call!

Thanks so much Susan😊😊😊

[@jamesfelixcook]

Great tips, did this myself and removed over a quart or more of lint and the repair you recommended worked like a charm - thank you!!!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice Job James, thanks for the update👍

[@bentile1]

Got mine fixed, it just was not nearly as easy as I hoped. I guess I should not have started at 11:30pm! I tried your way, but ended up taking the front totally apart. Only two screws left over--not too shabby. Thanks for the heads up on the cause and fix.

[@FastFreeFixes]

I’m glad you fixed it👍

[@lauraadair9276]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My 5 year old dryer was so clogged up with lint that I am surprised we didn’t have a fire. I am diligent about clearing the filter after every use but I had no idea there was such a buildup of lint beyond the filter. I thought it was the belt making the rumble noise but I did the steps you recommended and it corrected the problem. I cannot believe that the lint trap hasn’t been recalled. This defect has been corrected on the newer models and you can retrofit your older model with the new parts. I am going to get in touch with Electrolux and show them pics of all the lint that was in the fan and see if they will send me out the replacement parts. I’ll update comment if it works!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Great idea Laura😊 Please let us know how it goes 👍

[@colinslife3878]

This worked! Our dryer was driving me crazy and I was going to have to call the appliance repair guy. You saved us time and money. Thank you!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Awesome, I’m so glad it’s working now😊😊😊

[@adamkeillor8202]

Thank you for making it a quick and easy. Took me a few hour to remove everything to replace the belt. Thought i was going to have to do it again.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job Adam😊

Thanks so much Carol❤️😊👍

[@FosterFarmsOk]

this is 4 years old but you just helped me out. mine is much quieter now

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is Excellent News, Thank you 😊

[@alexyoung5779]

This way worked so well. Best shortcut. Thank you for sharing.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so much Alex👍😊

[@jillsdancer]

Even easier fix - we disconnected vent hose and then took our air compressor with a long blower attachment and just blew out the blades. Amazing the amount of lint we got out this way! Dryer is quiet and working like new! Thanks for the video :)

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice Jill and that’s really fast😊

[@nikkidavis2859]

You saved me so much money!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I went to KZbin when my dryer was making a loud noise when running. Everything pointed to this. I tried removing the whole front panel and failed because I didn't remove all the screws. Plus taking apart all the electrical connections made me nervous. I will be adding this step to my " to do list" in taking care of my dryer.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job Nikki❤️😊👍

[@cristalynjohnson688]

This was a good fix. The machine doesn't make as much noise. I will do this regularly. I was scared to open up the machine - because it looked so difficult to reassemble so this is much better. Thanks

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job👍

[@PaulMatthews-bx7zj]

Thank you so much! Our dryer sounded like a train for a year. We got so much lint and now it's quiet again

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job👍😊

[@82ginalynn]

Thank you so much for this video! We were able to follow your video and fix our dryer by ourselves. I don't think it has ever run this quietly.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Great job Gina😊❤️

[@rking8416]

Right in the money. Thank you. Thank you! This was driving us all crazy. We had to schedule a time when the tenants were gone as to not disturb them.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nicely done👍

[@wheatonimages]

Got to love KZbin! Thanks for doing this video.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks Bob😊

[@crispymoore]

This worked perfectly, and saved me hundreds of dollars (maybe over $1k).

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is Awesome 👍😊

[@melindagross7960]

Awesome, thanks! I’d actually done this before when we purchased our home with the appliances included for a good deep clean, but the rumbling this time around had me worried about service calls and motors and bearings. There was no gradual buildup, just one load fine and the next sounded awful (though we know now it was this buildup in the fan). Just going to preemptively schedule this every 6 months or so. I can’t believe they let this design pass, and that it hasn’t caused fires!!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Good idea👍 There is a new retrofit filter that prevents lint from building up.

[@derekride]

THANK YOU! I'VE done the "disassemble the whole thing" and replaced the filter assembly previously. Rumble is back. Headed to the dryer now.

[@FastFreeFixes]

This should be a lot easier😊👍

[@saifullee4288]

Good tip. I'll try this first before calling the repair guy.

[@FastFreeFixes]

It works well👍

[@dennismartin3312]

Did this yesterday. Exact same dryer. Tons of lint I removed! Clean the vent on the outside the house also. Dryer sounds better, much more air flow.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job Dennis, It’s so common with that model 👍

[@douglashelms4294]

Thanks for this video! Mine was really clogged up. I was able to get a vacuum tube into the opening and vac up the lint as I dug it out. With the vac running l moved the drum back and forth and lots of lint came out on its own. Thanks again. ,

[@FastFreeFixes]

Nice job Doug, Thanks for the feedback.👍

[@CMHCVG]

thanks man, I'll give it a try.

[@CMHCVG]

It worked! I rigged up a small hose to my vacuum to suck the fins out clean.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Great idea👍😊

[@goozzfraaabaa]

Thank you. Worked perfectly. Someone was tossing one of these because of the noise. I took it home, hoping i could fix it and upgread my dryer. Did your fix, works great. Yay. Thanks again.

[@FastFreeFixes]

That is so cool😊😎😊

[@TheKillaMike1]

They sell a updated blower wheel to avoid noises in the future

[@goozzfraaabaa]

Thanks again. Did the clean out once again. 😆 every four months. Looking at the time stamp. Not the end of the world. Definitely worth doing for my free dryer. A link to the mod fan would be cool if someone has it. Thanks again.

[@zethong257]

Tried this today, and it worked!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so much Zeth👍

[@SteveSingsThings]

Your great previous video that showed how to dismantle the dyer worked for me about a year ago. However after about a year I noticed the rumbling again. I didn’t know about the wire hanger method, and Instead of taking it apart fully I removed the lint housing and used my shop vac on reverse to blow the impeller housing out. It blows some dust around and can be a little messy, but it does work. Just make sure you clean out the vent pipe of lint afterwards. I aIso thought of putting an additional lint filter ( perhaps cut from an hvac filter) inside the housing just past the lint filter but before the blower. The tricky part is holding it in place securely while allowing it to be easily removed to clean or replace. (You do NOT want that sucked into the blower! )Maybe velcro tape would do it.

[@FastFreeFixes]

That’s a good idea. They have a new blower wheel with larger vanes that solves the problem 👍

[@drews8585]

Worked like a charm! Thanks for making this. FYI to others there is some sharp metal in there I did cut my finger. Luckily not too bad

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks Drew, I’m glad that cut was small👍

such an excellent video . Thanks for your help. Now that its clean I wanted Electrolux to send me the updated filter housing that is suppose to work a little better . They never respond to my e mails. I noticed there is a lot of reports of fires started by these dryers. Any idea how I can get them to send me a better filter housing retrofit . do you have contact information for repairs?

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks so Much Mike😊

[@lisadowney1252]

Dang! I wish my arm was skinnier. Got a lot of lint out and it made a WORLD of difference in the noise level, but really wish I could get in there and clean it better!

[@FastFreeFixes]

Thanks Lisa❤️

[@deputyk9114]

If you had a really flexible small hose could you hook your vacuum to it and vacuum it out?

[@FastFreeFixes]

Yep, great idea😊

[@lanejesseph9963]

Pull out the lint trap. Then go get your shop vac and get the long skinny crevice vac attachment for your car. Stick that crevice vac attachment down in there and rotate the blower slightly. Perfect clean in about 2 mins. I can't imagine how the cost hanger would work and/or would take forever. The vac worked perfectly in just a min or tow.

[@FastFreeFixes]

Good idea, Thanks Lane👍

[@crispymoore]

I did a combination of vac and coat hanger (to break up the lint)

[@JoeT.1960]

I have a dryer in my rv before I went out on the road I turned it on used a airhose bow it out 😁

[@FastFreeFixes]

Great idea Joe😊👍

Hi Bob, I think that’s the support rollers.

[@dmacarthur5356]

Tedious work, but did bring down the noise level back to normal and not a Peterbilt idling. When I have more time I think I will remove the front panel and give it a thorough cleaning.

Great point!

What could be causing the horrible rumbling/vibrating noise with the very first load being dried in our brand new Electrolux ?

@@FastFreeFixes Sure ! 😊 Thank you !

[@mavealfajora4179]

Hello. How about the vibration during drying? It always moves whenever we do drying so we always hold the machine.

Is the dryer resting on the ground?

Hi Andrea, Can you try this new filter retrofit? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIm0and8bZhngKc

[@63jmjk]

Mine noise sounds like there are coins or screws bouncing around inside. What could that be?

[@FastFreeFixes]

Hi John, There’s a few coins caught in those plastic vanes attached to the inside of the tumbler. Just remove the top panel so you can remove the 3 screws that are on the outside of the tumbler and then you can clean the coins out.
