Larry M Elkhorn , WI February 24, 2017 Appliance: Kenmore Dryer 41780042990 Kenmore dryer would buzz hum but not start I replaced the motor, the original motor was shot. I cleaned and oiled the motor but it was a temporary fix because the bushings were worn to much. When the motor was running there was a lot of vibration noise and to start the old motor it would buzz and hum to start up. Now with the new motor in place it starts and runs as it should, huge difference. In the future I should clean around the motor area more often, it accumulates a lot of lint inside that confined space. Read More...

Robert R Seven Hills , OH February 24, 2017 Appliance: Kenmore Dryer 41792042101 Motor stopped working Replaced motor. While I had it apart, I also replaced the drum bearing and the belt, as they were inexpensive parts. AppliancePartsPros video on how to remove the blower fan from the motor was instrumental to success. I had a notion to do what the video instructed, but seeing it done gave me the confidence I wasn't going to do irreparable harm to the blower. The video also revealed how easy it was to remove the drum. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set

Rudy P Tama , IA December 11, 2016 Appliance: Frigidaire Dryer FER341AC0 Squeaking to non functional motor burned up Replaced motor. Very straight forward after watching repair videos. If you have never removed blower housing, I would advise just ordering a new one. Could not remove mine delaying repair by 1 day. While apart, I replaced rear drum bearing, idler pulley, belt, and heating element in addition to motor n blower housing over course of 3 days (ordered 3 different orders each day). Total time in project actually working was a couple hours. Dryer lasted 13 years without issues so hoping to get 13 more years. Read More...
