We purchased new Whirlpool Cabrio Washer & Dryer set from Sears. The washer has worked fine, but the dryer has not. The dryer was delivered and had a small dent on the front of the door. When we put clothes in the dryer and start it, the dryer is extremely loud. It sometimes has a piercing sound, that a Sears rep. said was a wet sensor and was supposed to be that way. The motor runs extremely loud also. This $800.00 Whirlpool dryer is much louder than my 12 year old $300.00 Kenmore Dryer that I just got rid of. Has anyone else had this problem? We just don't know if it is a common problem or somehow our dryer got banged up in the delivery and now has problems.

Call Sear back and tell them you want a new machine or a tech guy who can fix the machine. Did you read anything about a wet sensor when you bought the macine? Sometimes Sears is all wet.

We exchanged the LG front load because no one told us you don't put it in a upstairs laundry room. And now we have a Whirlpool cabrio washer & dryer the dryer makes a load roaring noise. It so load it is hard sleep with the dryer running. Have you contacted whirlpool yet.

I have a brand new Whirlpool Cabrio electric dryer just a week old. I think it is very noisey compared to my 17 year old Kenmore dryer. The service people say that it's a normal sound. I don't agree. Mine sounds like an exhaust fan. How is your's running? I'm trying to get mine replaced.

I've had my Cabrio washer & dryer since Feb of this year. The dryer sounded very loud like a buzzer w/ a vibrating tinny sound about 5 minutes into the cycle, once it heats up. A repair guy came out, heard the same sound, took off the door while the drum was turning & found the vibrating spring. He put some lithium grease where the spring was touching to stop that sound & said it was a design flaw, that the engineers know about. He said they might eventually come out with a modification kit to fix this. Before he left, we turned the dryer on, let it heat up to see if we still heard that vibrating tinny sound. Didn't here it, was happy, he left, but the next day when using the dryer, realized that only half the annoying sound was gone. The loud engine sound was still there. Waited a while, called Abt (the store where we bought it from) to say we still had a loud dryer & wanted it replaced. We suspected this one was returned because it was the last one they had & we had to wait 1 1/2 weeks for a different one. This one is just as loud, although the delivery guys say it sounds normal to them (what would they know). Luckily it is located in the basement, I can't imagine if I had a laundry room next to a family room or bedroom. Haven't found any reviews complaining about the loudness other than here so I thought it was just me & I can't remeber how quiet my old one was. The few reviews I've seen say "it's so quiet", started thinking it's just me. Don't know what to do next. I don't know if they'll exchange it for a different brand since I've had it for a couple months. I like the size of it & the way it dries. I just don't like hearing the droning sound from the basment. Who needs the alarm on the dryer when I know it stopped because the house is quiet now!

We too have had a couple of service calls for a loud noisey exhaust sound coming from our Cabrio dryer. Both times they told me it was "normal". We replaced our Maytag washer/dryer of 11 years with the Cabrio washer/dryer as we needed larger load capacity. It is so much louder than the old Maytag!
