A distinct rattling or vibrating sound is heard while the dryer is running. This can indicate an obstruction, improper installation, or an unbalanced load.

• A small object is caught between the edges of the dryer drum.
• The dryer is not properly leveled, leading to vibration during operation.
• Clothing in the dryer is balled up, causing the load to bounce.
