Thank you for the reply. It goes away completely (100%) in about 15 minutes after starting a cycle. And the amount of clothes has zero effect, if I have an empty drum it still makes this noise at the start.
Does that change your answer or narrow down the issue?
Hi, I have a DV42H5000EW Samsung dryer, about 10 months old. A few months after owning it, it started making a terrible grinding noise for the first 10-15 minutes of a load of laundry. Please see attached video.
