Hoover HLXV85TGX-AUS Vented Tumble Dryer Bump Bump Noise

Thanks a lot for sending the video footage of the problem with your machine.

I will try and help with this problem about Hoover HLXV85TGX-AUS Vented Tumble Dryer,

Hi Brenton,

Sorry to hear about the issue with your tumble dryer. That sound is usually due to fluff building up on the two pulley wheels at the front bottom of the machine. If you check the diagrams below this article, you'll see parts numbered 230 and 835. Fluff can accumulate on these wheels, causing a thumping noise with each rotation. Often, cleaning them solves the problem.

To clean them, remove the front of the machine to access the pulleys. Another possible issue could be slight damage to the belt, which also causes a thumping sound during rotation. These are common problems for this type of noise.

Thanks for sending the YouTube video; it helped me diagnose the issue clearly. I've included some videos below that might help you further. If you need any parts, there's a full list at the bottom of the page. Match the reference number from the diagram to get the genuine part number. You can order parts using these numbers via our sidebar link, and they'll arrive from our European supplier within a few days.

Hopefully, just cleaning the wheels will fix your problem. When you remove the front of the machine, have your vacuum cleaner ready for a thorough clean inside. This will improve efficiency and reduce drying time, saving you money on electricity.

I hope this helps!
