My 6months old Samsung dryer also started to vibrate so I did a RU-vid search on this issue and found this video. This is one of the best how to videos I've seen lately on anything. I followed the instructions in this video and sure enough my squirrel cage was full of clumpy lint. I vaccumed all parts and this totally fixed my issue. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for your video, It helped me remember how to get the top lifted. But I would have stuck with the blue thread locker. Using red, I hope you never have to replace that part again. Wish you would have shown what he back of the front Pannel looked like. I'm looking how to replace the Moisture sensor on my Samsung dryer. I do see where the sensor is connected thanks to your video. Keep it up. Good job.
Thanks so much! Just switched laundry and dryer doing this exact rumble! Watched your video and had our dryer apart and cleaned up in 10 minutes! Ours was full of lint 😣
Absolutely fantastic video. In my case, my wheel was FULL of caked on lint from years of use. I cleaned it out entirely, and it is whisper quiet again!
Hey Bill! I didn't know you also played drums! Cool Simmons Kit! I love Bill Bruford's use of it with King Crimson. I have a 7 piece DIY trigger kit with 9 E cymbals I built. I am using a Roland TD-12 and a Roland TD-8. I've been playing drums since I was 7. Many years off. I am just putting everything back together to set my kit up in the Planetarium. (I am going to need a basic Pangolin again soon...) Casey Stack refers to me as "laserist previously known as Paul". (Laseronics) Hope all is well. I'll send you an email...
I had spent about 3 hours replacing the rollers and tensioning arm, only to have my Samsung dryer shake loudly once I was finished. Saw your video, and tried to replace the blower fan. I couldn't get the bolt off. BUT, I was able to carefully clean all the blower blades (it was still in true). Put it back together again and it was quiet as the day we bought it. THANKS for making this video and helping guys like me who wouldn't have a clue otherwise.
Yes, typical story I think. My drier was under warranty at the time I did this work. We had a tech come and replace the rollers and tensioner, but the situation didn't improve and he could not fix it, so I had to do it myself. I have to do that a lot...
Loved the step by step procedure, I tried cleaning some lint around the filter area and sure enough any lint I missed went down into the fan so two weeks later here I am taking apart my dryer
Very interesting observations; thanks! However, there’s one thing that doesn’t seem to make sense; maybe I’m misunderstanding the thinking here: What we really want is for the seal around the hatch to be evenly and thoroughly (but not overly) compressed. It would seem that, if we make the pressure on the stops high, then that would reduce the pressure on the seal, which in turn would make it seal less-well, wouldn’t it?
A loudspeaker has a "surround" made of rubber. It's part of the suspension. The purpose is to allow the speaker cone to move in an axial direction, but restrict rotary or radial motions. And a speaker is made to um.... speak! So no, all of the soft foam and even cushioning in the world will not help. Ideally you completely arrest all motion which will keep the trunk from "speaking" (compressing air) into the cabin.
It's interesting. I purchased this to check their implementation. In the patent, the implementation was really nice, and really similar to Cambridge laser scanners made in 1992. That's what attracted me to this. I wanted to see how well an optical scanner pickup would work for a Bass guitar. But what they actually executed really wasn't all that good. (Sorry to say, but that's how I feel.) So their optical pickup is not very good. The patent is expired now so maybe someone will execute on the idea better. However, what I found fascinating was the Piezo pickups. The sound was very interesting and I think *somebody* could do something interesting here. But again, the implementation from Lightwave wasn't that great. They changed the Piezo part recently so maybe it's better now. Frustratingly, it seems that there are no Elon Musks inventing guitar and Bass pickups, at least not what I've seen...
@@WilliamBennerJr Thanks for the feed back, I have been going back and forth for a couple of years about buying one. But I see most people who purchase them sell them. I even talked to the owner of the company once who was offering me a deal. I do think its an interesting concept. But also dont want to purchase a bass that's going to sit there. If I get one at the right prince maybe I will pick one up.
I just had this issue when installing a Ring camera on a door in Florida. A lot of doors open outwards in Fl because of hurricane winds blowing open inward doors
William, thank you so much for your video. My dryer is a Samsung with a small garment dryer on top, so I couldn’t get it apart as yours. I removed the filter and dared to put my hand inside, was able to rotate the blower wheel with two fingers and to my surprise it had chunks of compacted lint, after few arm scratches trying to get to the wheel 😂, problem solved!
The video was simple, easy to follow and I really liked the simpler approach that was offered to the professional one. I decided to clean all of the lint off the fan, and see if that corrected my problem before removing the fan, and thankfully that was all it was! So no out of pocket cost and about an hour of my time. This probably would have been 100.00 repair for a professional call, so thank you very much. Next home repair I have will definitely check your videos to see if you cover the problem before I look anywhere else. 5 stars and a thumbs up.
Yo, you have no idea how lucky I feel that I found your video. I was getting my ears a little stuffy while driving my YM on the freeway. I thought it had to do w altitude because I am a little up in the mountains and usually I drive down to LA. It wasn’t unbearable but it was there. The top left rubber “stopper” wasn’t making full contact, and the right one was not making a strong contact either. Did the envelope test on all of them after adjustments. All tight now. We will see how it turns out next time I drive to LA. I think it’ll take care of the issue. It just makes sense, my biochem professor used to say. Thank you. Will keep watching for more tips.
I do maintenence for a vacation rental company and this video is the sheezy! It's gonna save me (and the company) sooo much time, money, and headaches! Thank you sir!!!
Hello William. Great video but I don't see my problem I have 2 Vinotemp VT300SS dual zones. Both have the same problem. Top zones get cold and the bottom zones do not. Set for 50 and 55 respectively. Tops get there, bottom stays at 63 and 61. So continuously running. Lower fan is working on both units. I put frozen food packages next to all 4 thermostats and after a minute or so both units shut off. I bought both units (used) in February 2024 and they worked in the beginning. They were manufactured in 2017 (according to the stickers on the back of the units). Little by little the bottom of both starting to climb and now sit at the 63 and 61. I put thermometers in each zone and they agree approximately same 50/63, 50/61. Strange both units almost exactly the same time with same problem. I unplugged one of the units to see if the electric draw from same wall socket was too much. After 2 days, no difference on the plugged in unit. Can you help please? Thank you in advance, Jeff
Hmmm. That's very strange. If the compressor is constantly running, then I would think the innards would get very very cold. If not, then either there isn't enough refrigerant in the system so it's not cooling enough. Either that or you're effectively "leaking coolness" (heat leaking into the system), either because your environment is very hot, or because the gaskets aren't sealing well enough (the rubber around the doors). Here's a related question. Does the giant internal plate "evaporator coil" inside getting so cold that it ices up? If so, then your gaskets aren't sealing and that's the problem.
@@WilliamBennerJr Hi William. Thank you for replying. I had an appliance guy come over. He said the compressor was no good or it lost freon. I'm confused. I set the top zone as low as it goes (40degrees) I stopped it at 46 because I still had wine in it and didn't want the wine to get that cold. It would have gotten colder. And the zones are not completely sealed from each other so the top cold air would come down to the lower zone. How can it get so cold with low freon or compressor bad? We did notice the bottom fan was not staying on. Only short burst on and off. Could it be the fan?, thermostat?, or temperature sensor? They want 1500.00 to replace the whole system for each unit. I'm not convinced the compressor is bad. What do you think? Again, both units have the same problem. Strange. The units are about 4-5 years old. Thank you in advance, Jeff
@@jeffrantinella1345 Yes, I had an AC guy say the same thing about my units in the past. Definitely not the compressor or "lost freon" if one area remains cold. If it's a dual zone, then the fans inside which circulate the air from one part to another aren't working. You might be able to "hack it" by putting in your own fan, at least temporarily, just to demonstrate the problem or test the theory. If it does what I think it will, then the problem will either be a bad fan, or the controller that turns the fans on and off. You might call the company that made it (if you can get through to them) and have a discussion... See if parts are available, etc.
@@WilliamBennerJr Thank you so much. My thoughts exactly. These Vinotemp units are about 5 years old and they discontinued this Designer series. They are no help at all. They don't have any parts and they cannot even give me part numbers so I can try elsewhere. I will figure it out. Thanks again, Jeff
This was 1 of 2 videos that helped me. so perfect for me. 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks i thought i was going to have to junk this expensive dryer or pay someone else to tell me its the motor and never comeback again. A big sock was stuck in that blower fan thingy. there wss at least 3 more socks change art supplies smh smh. Now its purring like a kitty.❤
I had just cleaned lint out as well and that’s when the vibration started. Loose lint stuck in blades!! Thanks for saving me from a service call and repair!! $$$ saved!
Watched many videos over the years, and your instructions were so straightforward and right on! My issue was lint in the flywheel, so I didn't need to purchase anything, but wouldn't have had such an easy time fixing this without people like you taking the time to post videos like this. Much appreciated!! Thank you!
Man I had a basket ball of lint I was about to go to Lowes saw 2 videos you broke it down so easy fixed it in 25 minutes just with a Shop Vacuum..saved $700+ Thank you!!!
Wow. I think this video hit our problem on the nose. I think I can handle this repair. Sounds considerably easier than replacing all the rollers and the pulley.
You can get the same sensation in some cars by rolling down just 1 window a little. It's like a pressure to a slight vacuum in your ears. My Model 3 Tesla doesn't do this, but I heard the Ys do.
It's a bit of a different feeling. The "windows down" creates a Helmholtz Resonance. The buffeting being discussed here is a compression effect, that will change frequency and amplitude, based on what the car is rolling over on the road.
Thanks so much for this video. I thought I was going crazy with the oscillating pressure I was feeling on my ears. This makes perfect sense. Thanks again!
This video allowed me to fix my dryer…. It was full of lint and it was all jammed in… All I had to do was follow your instructions and clean it out. Put it back together and now it’s as quiet as the day we bought it. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
