Dave B Worton , MD April 19, 2016 Dryer motor After watching the how to video twice I decided to embark on dismantling my dryer and attempting to replace my motor. After realizing that the main tool needed was a Phillips screwdriver I was sure I could handle this repair. One by one I took apart the dryer and spread out the parts throughout my mud room. 1.5 hrs later and I have a working dryer, and most of all a happy wife. Thanks for the speedy part delivery and the great how to video.

Daniel B Springfield , MI June 09, 2017 Appliance: Samsung Dryer DV42H5200GF/A3-0000 The motor would not start the dryer we had the lid slid back to start the drum turing by hand 6 mounths or better I had to change the motor. The video help to get to the motor but the fan blade was loctite to the motor shaft. I had to use a pry bar between the motor and the fan blade and hit the shaft with a hammer to brake it loose. After that it went well. After I had made the repairs I bolted the lid back on and did not tell my wife that I had fixed it. when i came home from work she had pryed the lid off to get to the drum to get the dryer to start. We had the service tech Quote over $500.00 to make the repair. I did it for under $150.00 Thanks Read More... 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Screwdrivers
