Paul V. for Model Number LG DLG5932W DRYER My LG dryer which is now 13 years old sounds to be getting louder and a high-low sort of laboring motor noise can be heard. It works and dries and functions ok, but the motor is loud and vibrating. It was a quiet dryer but for about a month now, a loud, vibrating, high low, sounds is present when in use. Whether air dry or heat still loud. Also when the dryer cycle is done and turns off, after about 5 minutes, it will go on for about a minute then shut off and then will continue until I push the power button off. But I think this is a normal function.
Answer Paul, The first thing that you should look at would be the blower wheel and the rollers on the unit. Check the blower wheel for being cracked or having lint build up that has dried on it which could cause it to be off balance and vibrate. The starting for a minute and then shutting off is for wrinkle guard. The Rollers you will want to make sure that they are turning freely and may need to be lubed with a thin coat of lithium grease.
