If the noise is happening with that rapidity, it must be coming from something that is turning faster than the drum. My first guess in other dryers would have something to do with the idler pulley. I guess your dryer has one. |

You didn't say how old your dryer is or give a full model number. But many Frigidare dryers have problems with the rear drum bearing, check that all three screws in the rear center are in place and tight. There may also be three more screws out further from the center be sure that all these are in place and tight, these screws are all accessed from inside the dryer drum. It is not likely the belt causing this noise and this dryer is serviced from the front so no need to move the machine, in fact only a small access panel is removable at the back. |
