Fisher & Paykel Dryer Noisy – Main Beach
A customer in Main Beach contacted ISB Electrical because their Fisher & Paykel dryer was making loud noise during operation. The dryer was still running, but the noise became worse during the cycle.
When a dryer becomes noisy, the fault can be caused by worn drum rollers, damaged belt, pulley failure, motor bearing noise, loose fan, foreign object inside the blower housing or faulty blower fan bearings. In this case, the blower fan bearing area was inspected and tested.
Inspection and Diagnosis
- Checked the dryer power supply and safety condition
- Confirmed the Fisher & Paykel dryer was noisy during operation
- Inspected the blower fan and air circulation area
- Checked for foreign objects inside the fan housing
- Checked blower fan bearing movement and noise
- Inspected the belt, pulley and drum movement
- Confirmed the noise was coming from the blower fan bearing area
- Confirmed the blower fan bearings were faulty
Fault Found
The fault was caused by faulty blower fan bearings. Worn bearings can make a loud rumbling, grinding or scraping noise when the dryer is running.
The blower fan is important for moving hot air through the dryer. If the bearings fail, the dryer can become noisy, the fan may not run smoothly, and further damage can occur if the appliance continues to be used.
Repair Required
The blower fan bearing kit needs to be replaced. After replacing the bearing kit, the dryer should be tested to confirm smooth fan operation, correct airflow and reduced operating noise.
The customer was advised not to continue using the dryer for long periods while the blower fan bearings are faulty, as the noise may become worse and could lead to further fan or motor damage.
