Inglis Dryer vibrating or shaking
If your Inglis dryer is vibrating or shaking while running, the most likely culprit is a failing drive motor or dryer motor whose bearings are worn and no longer let the drum spin smoothly; a worn motor often makes a grinding noise and may feel stiff when you try to turn the shaft by hand. After the motor, check the drum support bearing next—when those bearings wear out the drum will wobble and the machine can be noisy when the drum turns. Worn felt seals on the drum or bulkhead can also let the drum run off-center and cause vibration, and a stuck or damaged idler pulley or idler assembly can prevent the belt from running true, which leads to shaking and sometimes squeaking. Start by inspecting these components for visible wear, play, or rough rotation, and replace any worn parts to stop the vibration and loud noises. Enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement drive motor, bearing, felt seal, idler pulley, or idler assembly that fits your machine.
01 - Inglis 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.

03 - Inglis Dryer Drum Support Bearing
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.
Top Solution
04 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.
Highly Likely
