Joe F Morrow , OH January 02, 2015 Motor bad and fan blade stuck to old motor I popped the clips holding the motor down off disconnected electrical connector, and then could not get fanblade off to pull motor off. I ended up drilling from back of unit through the front center of fan blade all around the shaft area. Motor came out no problem, but fan blade and seal were destroyed. Once parts received (2 days) I installed all with no problem! I was also able to vacuum out all the dust accumulation and (knock on wood) she is drying as good a new machine!!
