I thought the big time pro maytag mechanics would have taken a guess. It is my opinion that the breaking down of the dryer ,especially the bakelite impeller and bearings,cleaning and oiling has revealed a slight bearing play causing a vibration of impeller.Heating swells the plastic bushings quieting them.I have ordered a new bearing/bushing kit for the impeller and will update with pics.

Noisey HOH Dryers

Blower bearings were a common problem after a lot of use, I would also lubricate the main tub bearings, idler and motor bearings on a dryer this old if it is to get much use.

 

Good trick about cleaning the copper slip ring, I have also been soldering the terminals on the little circuit board for over 20 years in the field to get these finicky dryers working properly. I just solder the dryer harness directly onto the board, no need to add extra wire or another connection in the harness.

Re: “Whereabouts does this electronic circuit board go?”

Okay, behind the actual control panel via wire connected to the in-drum sensor, I see...

Would love to see it on mine...
