Kenmore Dryer Model 417.84052500 makes loud noise when started cold

Hi,
My Kenmore dryer model 417.84052500 makes a loud grumbling noise when I start it cold. The noise lasts for about a minute, then stops. Otherwise the dryer works fine.

I replaced both the belt and the bearing assembly to no effect (now I hear an intermittent rattling noise when I run it).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you saying it makes a humming sound and than ti starts? If it does usually the motor is going bad.

Hi-

Thanks for your response. It makes the humming sound after it starts. It's pretty loud for about a minute, then sounds almost normal (there's still the rattle/vibration sound).

After it starts or before (before usually motor) After I have never heard it. Rattle sound could be blower wheel loose on shaft and will need to be replaced.
