Chris R Ridgeland , MS February 08, 2015 Blower fan had come loose and was hitting the inside of the housing Had to remove the front and top panel on the dryer, disconnect the belt and remove the drum. From there it was two screws to slide out the motor assembly with the fan attached and one bolt to remove the clamp and screw kit holding the fan in place. They kit was worn and was allowing the fan to move forward and back on the motor shaft. Once replaced it took about 5 minutes to reassemble and my dryer now purs like a kitten.

James B La Grange , IL August 20, 2016 Appliance: Model DG08-US0 Dryer made loud noise when running discovered that blower wheel was loose on shaft Watched video showing how to replace blower wheel clamps. Demonstration was excellent but actual procedure was not as easy as depicted (to be expected). Encountered two difficulties. Reinstalling the belt was tough; the idler wheel torsion spring is very strong and hard to reach. Also, the new clamps do not fit very tightly on the motor shaft flat. I added a shim to the front clamp to improve the fit, but the wheel can still be rotated about 15 degrees on the shaft. I wrapped masking tape on the motor shaft to create a friction fit to the inside diameter of the blower wheel. Suspect that this is a design flaw and the reason the original clamps failed in the first place. Also the motor shaft is worn (grooved) just as discussed in the video.
