Knocking/Rattling sound

Knocking/Rattling Sound:

• Zippers, buckles, buttons and rivets on garments as well as loose coins, paper clips, pens, or similar items may be tumbling in the dryer. Always check and clear pockets prior to washing.
• Items leaning against the dryer may also cause a knocking or rattling noise. 
• Remove objects from the top of the dryer that may be causing the sound.
• Sometimes when the washer spins, it will cause the dryer cabinet to vibrate. Leave space between the washer and dryer to avoid this sound.
• If the dryer is mounted on a dryer pedestal, items in the pedestal drawer may be rattling/vibrating causing the sound.
• Check that dryer is level; if not, or if one leg is missing, it can cause the dryer to make a rattling noise.
