It’s still drying fine as far as I can tell, the noises I attach here a recording of only happen around idk, 5% of the total drying time. They start, then stop again after a a few seconds or a minute, throughout the whole drying process.

Mainly I was just wondering if anyone could imagine what it might be, what I could take a look at, or if it’s nothing to worry about. I understand it’s probably a long shot :D

Thanks for whoever takes a look at this, here is the recording, first half is the noise, second half is normal running: https://gofile.io/d/RyWmFq

    Should look similar to this; it tensions the belt to the drum so it has the grip drive it. If yours is a wheel then the bearing is probably shot. You can manually spin the drum and listen for where the sound comes from to see it’s a different part failing (this pic is from a video of me doing exactly that)
