NOISY ON START UP

Very first time I used my new dryer I was totally impressed at how QUIET it was. The next day I used it and when I started it, I heard all of this rumbling ~ womp, womp, womb ~ and I could not find a reason upon checking to make sure the dryer was not up against anything to cause this noise. I asked my dealer about it and it was suggested I call Speed Queen to get service. Well, Speed Queen is quite busy and it takes hours upon hours to get to speak to someone or even get a call back. I gave up a couple of times and eventually I did get to speak to someone. They contacted someone in Lufkin, Texas to call me but I already know this serviceman does not come down to my area in Texas any longer. But, I waited for him to call anyway. Just as I expected, he was still not coming down here. I called Speed Queen back and the only suggestion was for me to go on their website and search for a serviceman. I was stunned, I thought my Speed Queen people would have a list of people who can service their products in my area. So, I am still listening to the womp, womp, womp ~ which does go away after a bit and I do not hear the machine after the womp, womp, womp seems to work itself out. I have not gone through the list of service people and called anyone. I do like my dryer except for the fact that it only has two TIMED settings ~ 30 minutes or 60 minutes. I like to dry some things just about 15 minutes and take the things out and hang them up to dry. I suppose I could set the timer on my phone to remind me to go back and get the things out ~ there IS the Pet Hair Setting that runs for 10 minutes, but it has no heat. I like to clean below the lint screen but boy is that a big pain. You have to have a screw driver to remove the piece that holds the lint screen and then you need to have a cannister vacuum and a long, flexible flat crevice tool to get beyond the lint screen area. I have NO idea how dog hair gets beyond that lint screen which is also hard to clean out. I cannot do it with my fingers as my old fingers do not bend like they used to. I have to use my Dust Buster to try & get lint out of the screen pocket. Ok ~ I guess that's about it.
