The Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for driving the drum rotation in the dryer, allowing for the tumbling and drying of clothes. It converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, providing the necessary power to spin the drum and circulate air for efficient drying.

Causes of a faulty dryer motor can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. These factors can result in issues such as the drum not spinning, unusual noises during operation, or the dryer not heating properly.

Symptoms of a bad dryer motor may include:

  • The drum not rotating or spinning
  • Unusual grinding or squealing noises while the dryer is in use
  • Dryer not generating heat or insufficient drying performance

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Steve for Model Number GLER341AS2

Hi, I just replaced the motor, and still have a loud vibration. I also replaced the felt guides, the rear bearing, drive belt, idler pulley, and the foam felt seal around the blower housing. I attempted to remove the blower housing by using a 7/8" socket turning clockwise, while holding the motor shaft with channel locks, but I rounded off the corners of the hex nut. I'd like to try replacing the blower wheel, so I don't mind destroying it, but don't want to damage the threads on the new motor shaft. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Steve

Hello Steve. The blower wheel can get tight. We don't have any way of removing it, except holding the motor shaft and unscrewing the blower wheel. Thanks.

Helo Darrell. The blower wheel unscrews from the motor shaft. You will need to hold the shaft of the motor with channel lock pliers, to remove the blower wheel. Hope this helps.

You will need to remove the dryer drum to get to the motor. The motor will unscrew from the blower wheel. There are clips holding the motor onto the motor support. Remove these clips and the motor should lift out. Hope this helps.
