What is the loud banging noise when the drum rotates on my White Knight Gas?
My white knight high speed gas tumble dryer has suddenly started making a loud banging noise on rotation. Yet still works if you can put up with the noise. It sounds as though a brick or some heavy metal object is being carried round part way until it comes to a stop and falls back. I have taken part of the casing off and looked at as much as i can, but there is no sign of any loose object. Could it be the bearing? If so is it worth repairing?
Open the door and look at the back face of the drum.
Look carefully and you may see the face flex as the drum rotates and a crack or 2 may appear!.
The sheet metal will flex until it reaches a point where the tension is released and it bangs back into place.
My BG447 has just this problem and is 21 months old!
