Catrina for Model Number WED8300SW0 My dryer is heating and drying, but some strange noises while running. I cleaned the baffles and that took care of ALOT of the noise, but when the cycle is complete and the dryer stops, the blower wheel is loose and continues to turn several times before stopping and makes a horrible loud noice at the end. While drying, it also sound like theres a bolt or coin or lighter somewhere banging as it turns...this noise is occasional...like it gets trapped and then works its way free again. Any ideas? I know we need to replace the blower wheel but is there something we could be missing?
Answer Hello Catrina. No, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the blower wheel WP697772 is causing the noise. Make sure the rollers and idler pulley are good. If so, just replace the blower wheel. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 20, 2012
