Teresa September 08, 2012 for Model Number MDE3706AYW I have tried using 7/8 socket to remove the blower fan while holding the motor pully, it is now starting the strip the plastic on the blower fan. What should I try now?
1 Answer Hi Theresa. It may be time now to sacrifice the blower part # 56000 and replace it. I have carefully used a cold chisel and split the blower plastic wheel in half so then you can use vise-grips to remove the rest. Thank You. Read More...
Joe S. June 14, 2012 for Model Number LG8319W2 When installing the blower wheel on my motor, the shaft of the motor seems to have stripped - I can't hold back on the belt pulley. Did I break something inside the motor?
1 Answer Hi Joe. You'll need a 7/16 inch socket and an open end wrench for holding the motor shaft, "Remove Blower Wheel by placing a wrench on the rear of the Motor shaft and the nut on the Blower Wheel. Rotate counterclockwise to loosen."The blower wheel is part # 56000 is accessible by removing the blower housing cover. You Can use a deep well socket to reach in from the front and also use an adjustable wrench to hold the back of the belt / pulley wheel while loosening the fan assy. Thank you. Read More...

Brian February 16, 2012 for Model Number MDET336AYT My dryer heats up fine and the spins fine, without any noise. The problem is that the clothes don't dry, there doesn,t seem to be any or very little air blowing through the dryer. Is this problem just the blower wheel?
1 Answer Hello Brian. You will need to check and see if the blower wheel 56000 is stripped out on the unit. If so, replace the blower wheel. If not, It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Cliff November 04, 2011 for Model Number ADE7005AYW Every once in a while when I start dryer, drum does not turn. I open door and push on one of the fins inside drum to turn it. Close door and push start and it works fine. Any ideas on any parts I may have to change?
1 Answer Hi Cliff. Remove power. Check to see if the 240 vac supply is tight at the terminal block. If the terminal block is broken it is part # WP61923. Most of the time, it is the dryer motor part # WP2200376 that gives this response when it needs replaced. Thank You. Read More...
Raj October 22, 2011 for Model Number LL4407W I am getting a squeeling sound from the Blower fan area. It sounds like the fan is rubbing against the wall, but there is nothing rubbing on it. It only make the noise if its turning left to right. However, if you turn right to left, it does not make sound. Could the Motor be bad? Or is there a bearing that is being the fan that could be bad?
1 Answer Hi Raj. Your model # should be LE4407W. If you are absolutely sure the fan part # 56000 is not wearing into the blower housing part # 56020, then the motor assy. is the only device with related bearings. Part # is WP2200376. Thank You. Read More...
