Dryer noies

The dryer in my Redwood is the most annoying thing I have ever heard. It makes winning sound, don't know if it's because it changes direction when its drying or if there is something wrong with it. Any one have the same problem?

Ours has always had a different sound. It has worked for 5 years with no issues and we have gotten use to how it sounds.

Our Splendide dryer has from day one made quite a lot of loud whirring noise, but has given us 6 years of trouble free service.

Ours is up in the Nose and we're generally in the Rear Living room when it's running, so can hardly hear it.

The inexpensive small apartment ones that I use are very quiet. Have the dryer mounted on a shelf unit that I built and litter box for the cats is underneath it. They will use litter box even when dryer running.

I finally fixed mine. For years, the dryer howled and drove us out of the trailer when drying even a small load of clothes. I also got the same “it’s not that bad” or “just deal with it” response that you just got here.

The problem is that the smallish motor shaft bearings are not sealed units and get corroded when in storage during damp winters - especially here in New England. Ours was dead quiet until after the first or second year of use. The bearing replacement instructions are on the internet and point to sealed replacement bearings available on Amazon which only cost about $9 each.
Replacing them requires removal & disassembly but not very difficult if you’re mechanically inclined. Mine sounds like new after the $18 repair.

I fixed the problem. Removed the dryer and put an apartment sized dryer in that I already had. Nice and quiet.
