Dryer (Yes. That dryer, is making a terrible noise)
Well, that wonderful dryer that caused all that drama a little while back with Lowe’s and the logistics company just started making a hellish noise.
Looks like I’m gonna have to make some phone calls tomorrow
Here’s the noise. Never had a problem until now...there’s a small load of clothing inside, nothing excessive or heavy.
At least it’s not trying to kill me this time.
Any ideas?

My Kenmore dryer made the same noise, fixed under warranty.
When I unplugged the dryer, I manually rotated the drum, the noise was heard.
It was the idler pulley or the drum roller. ?? Both components were replaced, so I'm not certain which.

Lol, well that’s definitely not good. I should probably have a rifle next to the bed tonight.

Sure the cat did not get trapped inside?

It’s not, I checked.
However, I wonder if putting one of the cats inside would fix it?

Someone at Lowe’s has no idea how fucked their Thursday is.

Call Whirlpool, they'll send out a factory repairman...…...they're very good about sending a qualified tech out in a timely manner.

Appliance Brad??? Mine was squealing like banshee, I asked Brad. He sent a belt and tensioner, 2 hours later and she was as good as new. Good luck!

Sounds like somebody tried to dry dishes in it.

If it's drying the clothes, I don't see what the problem is...

Your posts really make me want to run out and buy a new appliance. Maybe not.

I let the wife handle this one. She went to Lowe’s and spoke to the manager who I’m sure never wanted to hear from us again.
He initially tried to push it onto whirlpool, but he relented and Lowe’s will take care of it.
We have a loaner dryer until the correct model ships.
Makes me wonder if this issue is from when those originally deliver monkeys were roughly handling it.
So far so good, just annoying.

Btw, this is our 3rd loaner dryer since the beginning of dryer drama.
I’m convinced all the dryers they deliver are slightly used with the tape put back on.
How can they possibly afford taking all these losses on loaner dryers and not selling them used some how?
