Crosley Dryer vibrating or shaking
If your Crosley dryer vibrates or shakes while running, start with the drive motor and its bearings — a failing motor is the most common cause because it can no longer rotate the drum smoothly and often leads to the dryer making grinding noise or a loud squeak when the drum turns. After the motor, check the drum support bearings; worn bearings let the drum wobble and cause vibration. Worn or missing felt seals on the front or rear bulkhead or on the drum rims can let the drum rub and chatter, and a stuck or damaged idler pulley or idler assembly that does not let the belt track smoothly will also produce vibration and noise. Inspect the motor shaft for free rotation, spin the drum by hand to feel for rough spots, and look for loose or damaged seals and pulleys. If a part needs replacement, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement motor, bearing, felt seal, idler pulley or idler assembly for your dryer.
01 - Crosley Dryer Drive Motor
A drive motor that is wearing out will be unable to rotate the dryer drum efficiently, resulting in the dryer vibrating or shaking during operation. As the motor bearings began to wear out, the drive motor will often make a grinding noise. If the motor is noisy or the motor shaft does not turn freely by hand, the component should be replaced.

A worn drum support bearing will interfere with the smooth rotation of the dryer drum which can cause the appliance to vibrate or shake during operation. A support bearing the shows excessive wear or damage will need to be replaced to fix the problem.

04 - Crosley Dryer Felt Seal
Felt seals can be found on the front or rear bulkhead of the dryer or on the front and back rims of the drum itself. A worn or missing felt seal can interfere with the dryer drum rotating smoothly, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking during operation. Inspect the felt seal or seals for wear or damage and replace as necessary.

05 - Crosley Dryer Idler Pulley
A worn or stuck idler pulley may be unable to smoothly allow the drive belt to rotate the drum efficiently, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking. Inspect the pulley for any wear or damage and confirm it rotates freely. If the pulley shows signs of damage or doesn't turn easily it should be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Crosley Dryer Idler Assembly
A worn or stuck idler assembly may be unable to smoothly allow the drive belt to rotate the drum efficiently, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking. Inspect the idler assembly for any wear or damage and confirm the pulley rotates freely. If the assembly shows signs of damage or the pulley doesn't turn easily the idler assembly should be replaced.
