Olaf for Model Number MDE9800AYW I have a similar problem to one posted already (Mike on Feb 2, 2015). The dryer would sequel when operated, so I replaced both drum support rollers, the belt tension pulley, and the belt. After I put it back together, a different thumping noise occurred. When I had the dryer apart, I noticed that both glides where gone and only the cork remained for the drum bearing. Would this cause the thumping noise? Why would it start only after I replaced all of the other items. Thanks
Answer Olaf, Yes this can cause the thumping noise and you will want to make sure that the bearings are in place. It is possible that the slides could have fallen out but likely they were already worn and when removing the drum it allowed a different seating when reinstalled which caused the noise. Read More...
