[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1884110, member: 24428"] I'd suggest taking the drive belt loose and rotating the drum by hand to see if it is hard to turn.. that may point to your problem. Make sure that lint hasn't built up in the drum's tracks or rollers. I had a dryer that sounded & acted a lot like that.. and it turned out the drum was just binding up on built-up lint after 10 yrs of use. Also, if it has a belt driving the drum.. make sure that where the shaft goes goes through the frame ...that the bearings aren't locked / rusted up. Sometimes damp lint can get into cracks and harden up like concrete over years of use... or act kind of like sand paper on the bearings wearing them out. Also, try blowing the air cooling vents on the motor free of lint.. so you are sure it isn't over heating the motor. [/QUOTE]
