Maytag Dryer LDE7334ACE Making Loud Screeching Noise

Appliance: Dryer — Model: LDE7334ACE

Asked By: Karen Whitmore

Question Details:
Hi,
My Maytag dryer (model LDE7334ACE) has recently started making a really loud screeching or squealing noise every time I run it. It sounds like metal grinding or something seizing up. It still heats and runs, but the noise is terrible and getting worse. I’m not sure what could be causing it — is there a common failure point on this model I should check first? No error codes are showing (it's an older model). Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for reaching out about your Maytag dryer, model LDE7334ACE. Based on your description, the loud screeching noise you're hearing is a very common symptom of worn-out drum support rollers or slide bearings on this model.

Over time, these components can wear down, seize, or develop flat spots, leading to the high-pitched screeching sound when the drum rotates. The good news is that this is a known and repairable issue.

The correct replacement part for your dryer is the Dryer Drum Roller Repair Kit, which includes the drum rollers and related components needed to resolve the issue.
