Steve May 16, 2011 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
1 Answer 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. Read More...
1 Answer 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. Read More...

Jason March 02, 2011 How do I remove the dryer motor? How does it disconnect from the blower? frigidaire model # feqb2152feo. Thanks.
1 Answer 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. Read More...
