Whistling dryer

[er1cka]

Hi everyone, I need some advise because I am at a lose on how to fix this.

I have a B Air HV dryer and it has always had this ear piercing whistle whenever I turn it on. If I disconnect the hose it doesn't do it, so I know that it is the hose that is causing the scream.

Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance for any help or advise.

Sounds like a hole in your hose. Find it....tape it up and order a new hose.

What Cyn said. Yes it has happened multiple times to our dryer hoses. Find it, duct tape it, order a new hose. If you tape it tight, you may be able to use it for some time, keetp the new hose as backup until it finally goes.

I have the same problem. Thanks for the tip, Cyn!

Every one is welcome!
Voice of experience speaking, lol, I use black 88 tape have done so for many yrs.....will order new one but don't replace until tape has given it up. As we speak, my HV dryer has a taped up hose, I have a replacement hose.....
But won't exchange it till tape gives it up!

I can't thank you enough Cyn! I found my hole in the hose, wrapped it up and now I don't scare the tar out of the dogs when I turn on the dryer. I knew someone wiser than me would have the answer.

Where do you order replacements from? I'm having trouble finding the Bear Power II hose with screw on attachments. I need a nozzle too, and I can't find them anywhere!

Petedge.com carries b air replacement hoses for the bear and their pro series. I'm waiting to hear back from b air if either of those will work for the bear 2. I will post back when I hear from them.

Lol, don't know about wiser than you but as I said been there done that with holes in hoses.
Don't know where to get Bear Power hoses as I use a Double K dryer.
Ok, I just looked and you need to contact B Air for an adapter for their new hoses to work if you have an older Bear dryer. Try this number and see if they can help 877-800-2247.

No good, it's a different attachment mechanism. Thanks though.
