Maytag Dryer Squeaking Noise Repair in Winnipeg

This case involved a Maytag dryer that started producing a loud squeaking sound as soon as the cycle began. The homeowner reached out because the noise became constant and made the dryer difficult to use. Our technician arrived for a full diagnostic visit and inspected the mechanical components responsible for drum rotation. During the diagnostic process, the technician identified a worn belt tensioner roller. When this part begins to fail, the roller bearing loses smooth movement and creates a squeak each time the drum turns. This is a common issue in older Maytag dryers and in units that have not been serviced internally for an extended period.
To resolve the problem, the technician recommended replacing the belt tensioner roller and performing a full internal cleaning. Lint and dust often accumulate inside the dryer cabinet, especially around the motor, blower housing, and belt system. This buildup can increase friction on moving parts, shorten the lifespan of the tensioner, and affect overall dryer performance. After replacing the tensioner roller and completing a thorough cleaning, the dryer operated smoothly and quietly again. The squeaking noise was fully eliminated, and the appliance regained stable, reliable performance.
Cases like this are typical for front-load and traditional electric dryers used in Winnipeg households. A squeaking noise during startup or mid-cycle can indicate issues with drum support rollers, the tensioner assembly, the idler pulley, or the drive belt. Professional diagnostics allow the technician to identify the exact cause and prevent additional damage, such as belt wear, overheating, or motor strain. Timely repair helps ensure that dryers in Winnipeg homes remain safe, energy-efficient, and fully functional.
