Where does the rumbling come from?

Is it in the blower or the motor?

Is it from the top or the bottom?

Here is a link to your dryer model lDE4910ACW.

You may want to take it apart and check the idler pulley and the support rollers.

It sounds like its from the bottom, sounds like a flat tire. Heats fine. finshes all cycles. And its been like this for about two months, maybe longer. I don't think its a belt, it would have broken by now. When it does start or finshes cycle it makes a rumbling sound, sudden stop.

You have a broken blower. Be sure to replace it soon, your dryer is not venting properly this way and you are overheating the dryer.

We have a Maytag dryer model no. LDE4910ACW and we need to put on a belt. Do you have a diagram that we can go by? We don't have any thing to go by. The belt was broke when we opened it up and don't know where it goes.......

We tried to put the belt on the only way that we thought it would go. But, it makes a light whistle sound and the drum will not go around if theres many clothes in dryer, so I just do about a little less than a half a load. HELP!!!!!!!! I need intrustions/diagram how to get it around the idler pulley,barrel and so forth/ I don't thinks its on right or maybe to loose........
