Haier Dryer vibrating or shaking
If your Haier dryer is vibrating or shaking while running, the most common causes are components that help the drum rotate smoothly. Start by checking the drive motor or dryer motor, since worn motor bearings will make the motor noisy or produce a grinding noise and prevent the drum from turning evenly. Next likely is a worn drum support bearing that will let the drum wobble as it spins. Worn or missing felt seals on the drum or bulkhead can also let the drum ride off-center and vibrate. Finally, a stuck or worn idler pulley or idler assembly can allow the drive belt to skip and make the dryer making noise when drum turns or the dryer making loud noise during operation. Inspect these parts for wear, feel the motor shaft for free rotation, and replace any component that shows damage. If you need a replacement, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact part that fits your dryer and get the part and instructions to complete the repair.
01 - Haier 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.

Inspect the felt seal or seals for wear or damage and replace as necessary.

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.
