Default Dryer sounds off balance
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: DWSR473GV0WW
Age: 5 - 10 years

I recently replaced the 4 drum slides and tje upper portion of the drum bearing because my clothes were getting stuck between the drum and the bearing, leaving them with black marks and/or holes in them.

This repair fixed that problem, but now the dryer sounds like it is off balance and is making a continuous thumping noice. I can't figure out how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Check to make sure that the idler pulley roller is turning freely.

If the roller is not turning freely it will make a thumping sound.

Here is a link to your dryer model DWSR473GV0WW.
