Likely Causes

Worn drum support rollers

Causes a rhythmic thumping as the drum turns.

Worn idler pulley or belt

Produces a squealing sound, especially at startup.

An item caught in the drum

Coins, buttons, or underwire can cause an odd rattling or scraping.

What You Can Safely Check Yourself

Check that nothing is caught around the drum edges (a coin, button, or bra underwire).
