When i turn my tumble dryer on everything works fine except for a large rattling sound as it spins. The noise is still there if i manually turn the drum. Its not that old so anything major will be a warranty fix/replacment. Thanks in advance.

It was the fan cover come off. Put it back on and is now working no problem.

Thanks for the help ck

take the bottom back panel off (panel with vent hose coming out of it).now look on the lefthand side and you will see the motor.sometimes the cover for the fans comes off and rattles.if this is ok it could be the front fan catching or broken.you will need to remove the motor to see this.held on by 4 screws accessed from the underneath of the base.drum shafts can break away from rear of the drums.look inside where you put the clothes in at the back of the drum in the centre and make sure there is no wear in the drum bearing mountings
