Whirlpool WP6-3051850 Pulley- Mo OEM Part

This was a Maytag DE312 actually a Whirlpool labeled as Maytag) and is 27 years old. Replaced motor, drive belt and drum rollers. One tricky part was the motor because the new motor comes with integral starter and it was necessary to cut off existing female spade connectors on some wires and crimp on new connectors. Instructions were adequate but need to be carefully followed and a decent electrical stripping and crimping tool must be at hand. I bought a new motor drive pulley because another user indicated the hex set screw was difficult to remove and all went well. The belt installation always gives me fits but if you are patient and look carefully at the supplied instructions it can be completed with some effort. Note that the grooved side of the belt mates with the pulley and the flat side runs against the drum. It is also very helpful to have the right snap ring tool because they are very difficult to remove without the proper device both for the fan removal and the drum rollers. I used a Dremel tool with sanding disk to reduce diameter of the pins on my snap ring tool to fit holes in snap rings which worked OK. This is the second repair on this dryer (replacement of heating element & drive belt) and all went well and she is up and running again.

I called a local repair company to solve the problem. He replaced the blower fan and the belt. This did solve the noise problem but the drum still wasn't turning properly. I called the tech back and he came out to further investigate. He said that the motor was worn out and needed to be replaced. Also, he suggested that we replace the rollers and gas valve coils as a preventive measure to future problems. He gave me the list of parts and I did a search and discovered AppliancePartsProscom. All the parts were available. My order arrived in great shape. The videos were very helpful in taking apart the dryer and replacing all but the motor. The tech came out and switched the wires from the old to the new motor. I was able to put together the machine with no problem.

Replacement along with belt and drum rollers.

The motor locked up on my 30-year-old dryer . It burned the belt into. I installed a new motor and pulley. I did not really have to replace the pulley but I wanted to anyway. The motor was not identical replacement but the wiring was no problem to hook up. I checked the ilder and roller bearings to make sure it was OK . Replaced the belt and tried the dryer. The dryer worked perfectly.
