If the dryer makes an unusual noise, try the following ways to solve the problem (step-by-step instructions).
1. A newly installed dryer makes an unusual noise:
Some dryer models have automatically triggered shipping bolts that lock the drum in place.
The first time you start the unit, you may hear a knocking noise indicating that the shipping bolts are loosening.
This is a normal phenomenon.
It does not indicate a malfunction of the unit.
In addition, the door is also usually equipped with a shipping lock.
This must be removed manually.
Note: You will not be able to manually turn the drum of a new unit that has never been started.
During the first drying, you may hear a high-pitched squeak.
It could be caused by the pump, the moisture sensor, or a felt strip that needs to be lightly wet before use.
Another possible source of noise could be the electrical box on the back of the unit.
It is located near the fan cover of the unit.
Move the unit slightly away from the wall to try to solve this problem.
2. Creaking while the dryer is running:
The motor is probably blocked or cannot spin freely.
The unit may be overloaded.
Unload a few garments and try again.

This noise may be caused by the moisture sensor or felt strip, which should be lightly soaked before use.

A heat pump is a high-pressure compressor that can make a metallic noise and tapping sound.
