DRUM ROLLER NOISE
Samsung · Samsung DVE45R6100W 7.5 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Steam Sanitize+
Worn drum support rollers cause thumping, squealing, or rumbling noises during operation. Samsung dryers typically have 4 drum support rollers (2 front, 2 rear). Over time, the rubber coating wears flat or develops flat spots. Replace all 4 rollers at once — rollers are inexpensive ($5-10 each) and if one is worn, the others are close behind. Replacing rollers requires removing the front panel and drum. While the dryer is apart, inspect and replace the idler pulley and belt if worn.
