I put a large wet cushion in my drier and it wasn't happy - got water all over the floor and banged a lot. I've used it since and it dries (with no water on the floor) but when it heats up there is a loud intermittent clanking noise as the drum turns. I've checked and the filter and outlet hose are clear, and there is nothing stuck in the machine. What is wrong?

possibly belt damage or the jockey pulley is broken
