Some noises are perfectly normal with your Frigidaire Laundry Center.

When the lid lock becomes engaged or disengaged, you will hear a double click sound – just locking the lid.Heavier loads occasionally cause a thumping sound at the beginning of the spin cycle – no worries!

Check for belt buckles or other fasteners on clothing items being washed or dried that may cause rattling or clanking sounds.

TIP: Fasten these items or turn your clothing inside out to reduce sounds.Check the pockets! Rattling and clanking can also be caused by loose or foreign objects such as coins in the washer tub or dryer drum.Simply stop the washer or dryer and check for any objects.

If you don’t find anything and the noises continue, try running an empty load to see if the noise persists. This will allow you to determine if the noise is coming from the washer, dryer or an article of clothing.

Specifically for your dryer:

The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period time.

The noise should go away as the dryer operates. Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some cases there may be sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system.

This is normal and can vary with the load size.
