Warning: A crawling dryer convinced me to check balances first
I always figured weird dryer noises were no big deal, just part of getting old. Then I had a job where the machine was actually moving across the floor, lol. The client sent a video of it inching toward the door during a spin cycle. When I opened it up, a support bolt was gone and the drum was hanging loose. It was a mess to fix, but that video stuck with me. From then on, I make sure to test the balance and tighten everything before calling it done. It's become my first step, and it's saved me from repeat calls. Honestly, that walking dryer was a wake-up call, lmao.
