Common Symptoms of Blomberg Dryer Mechanical Failure

Blomberg dryers are known for their reliability, but like all dryers, they rely on precise mechanical balance. When support components wear out, the dryer quickly becomes noisy and unstable.

Typical warning signs include:

• Loud rumbling or grinding noises

• Excessive vibration during operation

• Dryer stopping mid-cycle or not starting at all

• Burning smell or overheating

• Uneven drum rotation

If these symptoms are ignored, internal resistance increases and the dryer’s motor and belt can be damaged.

Diagnosis: Worn Support Rollers and Damaged Drum Felt

During inspection, our technician found:

• Worn drum support rollers

• Damaged and deteriorated drum felt seal

These components are critical for smooth drum rotation. When rollers flatten or seize and felt wears down, the drum creates excessive friction. Over time, this added resistance prevents the dryer from starting altogether and can overload the motor.

Blomberg Dryer Repair: What Was Done

To fully restore the dryer, our technician completed the following work:

• Replacement of two drum support rollers

• Replacement of drum felt seal

• Internal cleaning of lint and debris

• Operational testing under load

After repairs, the dryer was tested through multiple cycles and confirmed to be operating quietly, smoothly, and safely.
