Steps

Check the inside of the dryer for loose baffles. If you see that the noises are coming from a loose baffle or from coins inside of the baffles, you will need to loosen the screws in the baffles and remove coins or install any missing holding screws.

You're done! This do-it-yourself easy repair will save you from $60 to $80, plus the dryer will run with less noise.

Tips

If you hear clanking noises from the inside of your dryer, run the dryer without clothes. If is still noisy, check the tumbler baffles.
If you need to replace missing screws, take out an existing screw and buy a comparably sized screw.

Warnings

Make sure that you disconnect your dryer from the wall outlet before you attempt any repairs. It's better to be safe than to be sorry.
Double check that all screws are replaced before running the dryer.

Things You'll Need

Basic tools that you probably already have around the house, like screwdrivers, socket wrench 1/4 and 5/16
