My 3 year old AWZ650 is making a knocking sound lately. Heating is OK, spinning is OK, only the very loud rattling sound is annoying.

I opened up my dryer a few minutes and spinned it by hand. The rattling noise is from front sight in the righthand bottom, near by the belt pulleys and air fan. I think the elec. motor is fitted there.

I'm not that well technician, so if someone knows a cure, please explain in detail

you need to change the belt pulleys. the plastic wheels rattle after a while. take both back panels off take out drum and remove pulleys by pulling them open by spring fitting is a reverse procedure but locate in lugs
