So to remove the blower fan from inside the dryer, I turn the fan counterclockwise?

Glenn for Model Number LGR5636EQ3

I have replaced the two coils that fixed the dryer back in live for about 5 months. Now another problem is only the motor spinning. No heat, and the igniter doesn't glow at all. I'd checked that there is no 120V from the motor to the igniter. Is it the problem on the motor's starter this time. Thanks.

Vincent for Model Number Whirlpool wgd5900sw0

Answer Hello Vincent. You will need to test the thermal fuse and cut-offs W10480709 and see if they are good. Also test the flame sensor 338906 and make sure it is good as well. They should read closed for continuity. Hope this helps.

I have a whirlpool dryer WED5900SW0 with motor 8066206. How do I perform a motor test? I am looking at the tech sheet and it reads "Measure resistance between the motor relay common (COM) terminal and the P2-6 terminal on the electrical control. 1 to 6 ohms should be measured." I think I found the COM but not P2-6. Also looking at the schematics, on the actual motor itself, I am to test between terminals 3 and 5 measuring 2.6-3.6 ohms and between terminals 3 and 6 depressing the centrifugal switch measuring 2.4-3.8 ohms. Is this correct?

Melissa for Model Number WED5900SW0

Answer Hello Melissa. You have to read the wiring connections on the control board. They are labeled on the board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Appliance is a 1992 Kitchen Aid dryer model # KEYE7060W Problem: My motor runs well (for as long as I want) without the belt on, but with it on and trying to turn the drum, it struggles to turn and then stops with a funny smell. Question 1: Is the motor bad, even though it runs well freely? Question 2: The model # is 3391889. Your XRef. Info. states 3391886/7/8, but not 3391889. Will this model (279827) work? Question 3: I am assuming the motor comes with the capacitor and the switch? Thanks.

Eugene for Model Number KEYE760W

Answer Eugene, As it is possible for the motor to stall under a load, you will want to check to make sure that the rollers are not seizing which would keep the drum from turning properly and that the glides on the front are not worn causing drag. If the motor is faulty then the capacitor and switch do come with the motor.
