Fan Noise and Vibration on Speed Queen Dryer
At times you will hear some noise from the fan in the dryers. in many cases, this is due to build up on the fan and in many cases by a dryer sheet.
In this video, I show some items I found in one of my dryers.
The steps to clean are:
1- Disconnect the power
2- Remove the access plate. This is normally a small 6″x6″ plate beside the fan on the ductwork.
3- Look inside and see if there are any obvious issues. Rotate the fan by hand.
The fan is made of plastic and I have not found any sharp edges on the fan itself but there may be some sharp spots on the housing around it.
4-Pull off any items you see. You may need to push the items into the fan and remove them from the front.
5- Remove the lint screen and any debris the fell from the fan should be at the back. You will need a broom or shop vac to remove these items.
6- Before installing the covers rotate the fan manually again to confirm there is nothing else in the fan or causing the fan to stick.
7- Install the cover
8- Turn on the power and test
