How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6021819 / WPW10463866 Stirrer Motor (Service Kit)

The Repair: Installed new Loop-Motor-Service. I followed the on-line YouTube video for the step by step disassembly of the dryer. What took the most time was opening the top of the dryer. Apparently the release clips on my dryer were installed backwards at the factory, so I had to find a way to push them from behind and dislodge them. A little bent sheet metal and a few minor scratches later, the lid was open and I was back in business. The rest of the repair went smoothly, although it took a little more force than I anticipated to free the blower fan from the old motor shaft. The Order: I had made a mistake with the billing address, so I received a thorough email explaining the problem. I called customer service and I was connected immediately to a live person! She was friendly and professional and quickly re-entered my purchase order with the corrected information. I was amazed that even though I chose the most economical shipping, Ground for $6.95, my order arrived next day! Conclusion: I would highly recommend appliancepartspros.com. 

Got parts very, very quickly from APP. Fixed myself. 

Ordered a replacement motor from appliances parts which showed the very next day! 

The dog retaining one of the springs of the centrifugal start switch had broken off, a field fix was not feasible, and the internal parts of the motor are not available as service components, prompting a motor replacement. The replacement motor was a perfect fit, although the square plastic wrenching flats of the fan threaded onto the rear shaft crumbled on attempted removal, forcing removal from the rear of the dryer with an improvised tool. 

Seen video on how to access the drive motor. Didn't realize just how simple it was. I had one other step not shown in the video, but that was as plain as the nose on your face. Ordered the parts on a Friday morning, they shipped that afternoon and I had them by Tuesday at lunch time. Had some minor difficulty removing the exhaust fan blade from the dryer motor, other than that it was a piece of cake. Replaced the dryer motor, hooked it all back up, put it together and it runs like a dream. 

My daughter and I took back off and after watching your video we changed heating element. That didn't fix the whole problem, so we took off area where blower wheel is and discovered the whole center, where it is supposed to attach to shaft, was completely gone. The seals were pretty shot too. We could not get all plastic off shafts to motor so replaced it too. Your videos were extremely helpful. Thank you. 

Watch some u tube videos on taking it apart found yall order parts put it back together runs like a new one thanks 

Called appliance parts pro ordered the motor. They shipped it to my home and 2day's later I received it. Was back drying clothes. I will use this parts place again.
