Reverse procedure to reassemble. total time 30-60 Minutes Tip: Take the time to clean the interior of the dryer and inspect every moving part and all wires and connections. A small shop vac is a great tool for this unlisted step. Doing this will indicate potential future repairs. Pay special attention to drum rollers, belt condition. Use only silicon lubricant if you choose to lubricate any rollers. Petroleum lubricants have a fire potential.

I found an online video that walked me through the dis-assembly of the dryer and the replacement of the motor. It was very easy and straight forward. The only tools required were a Philips head screw, 1/2 socket wrench and a pair of pliers. The entire job took about 45 minutes from start to finish (15 minutes of that was spent vacuuming the inside of the dryer). The dryer runs like new again.

Replaced dryer motor and idled pulley. The motor went south on us. I pulled the dryer apart. They are pretty easy to work on. I didn't look up any instructions. I paid $180 for the motor, a new idler pulley and a sensor bar plus the $25 for the 1 day shipping. Overall the repair was pretty straight forward. The longest part was giving everything I good cleaning inside the dryer. I would do this again and I plan to use this company in the near future to replace the bearings on my washing machine. This dryer is 10 years old. If I can get another 4 or 5 years out of it I will be really happy.

We replaced the motor unit within an hour. I was able to find a quick (7minute) video on YouTube that we watched before proceeding with the repair. It was very helpful to see the step by step process, so the repair was very quick. This was not the first time we repaired an appliance using YouTube with the same great results. We saved over $400, by doing it ourselves!

I replaced the dryer motor. I followed the repair video on the Appliance Parts Pro site, with a few modifications to the procedure. I loosened the control panel and flipped it forward to improve access to the wiring connectors. I also loosened the front panel and tipped it forward before disconnecting the door switch as there wasn't enough space to disconnect the switch otherwise. Removal of the blower assembly required the use of penetrating lubricant as the assembly was stuck on the motor shaft. While I had the drum out, I took the opportunity to vacuum the lint out of the chassis.
