Victor P Lakeland , FL December 11, 2015 Clothes taking too long to dry ge dryer Unclogged all lint/debris in dryer. Noticed the air on the outside vent wasn't blowing all that well. Replaced blower fan. The one I took out was worn out and was the cause of a squeeking noise that I heard when the dryer ran. Once I replaced the blower fan the dryer worked like a charm.

Douglas H Lake Alfred , FL May 07, 2019 Appliance: Model DWSR483EB2WW Noisy operation The blower fan blade is held on the motor shaft with a two piece clamp that over time weakens and loses its grip allowing the fan blade to slide out on the shaft and rub against the metal mounting plate. I had over the last 15 years repositioned the blade several times. Each time my repair would work for a shorter time. Using your video guidance I was able to pull the motor and blower assembly out of the dryer and replace the fan. The old fan had worn the flat spot on the blade to where it no longer stabilized the blade on the shaft. I highly recommend taking pictures of all the wiring attached to the motor prior to the disassembly. While I had everything apart it was easy to replace the front drum bearings which were worn. I also replaced the front bearing support because one of the bearing locking tabs had broken off during a previous repair. I had searched several web sites before I discovered yours which was the first one that even recognised my model number. Parts delivery was outstanding. I highly recommend you to all of my friends and family. Thank you.
