Tumble dryer noise

[greencoat]

Hi all,

got a Hotpoint First Edition tumble dryer, about 4 years old. It's fine, ( I had to replace a broken belt 2 years ago ) except for the 1st 5 minutes that you run it. There's a high-pitched squeaking noise which is constant, but then stops.

Is this a drum bearing on it's way ? I thought the noise would be constant, not stop after about 5-10 mins.


Cheers,

Pete

The nylon bearers on the front of the drum can squeak until the machine warms up, may need replacing if worn.
