Charles L Charleroi , PA November 11, 2016 Appliance: Model ADMIRAL AYG1000AWW GAS DRYER The plastic spindle of the blower wheel was cracked and making noise Took the blower wheel housing apart, removed the retaining ring, pulled the old blower wheel off and slid the new blower wheel on. The new one is tight, so put a very thin film of Vaseline on the shaft first and lightly tap the center of the blower wheel with a rubber hammer until it seats on the shaft. Attached new retaining ring and re-assembled the blower housing. Put dryer back together. Amazed how quickly parts arrived! Ordered on a Saturday Afternoon online and Parts arrived Tuesday morning, just 2 1/2 days! just used regular shipping.

Dale S Oscoda , MI November 14, 2015 Dryer was making a terrible grinding noise I removed the front of the dryer, two clips and two screws and a lift got that front out of the way. I touched the blower motor wheel and it was spinning freely on the shaft. I ordered the wheel, the clamp and the clip that goes on the front of the motor shaft and repaired it in less than an hour. Complete from start to finish including the ordering of parts. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers, Socket Set
Tom K Bay City , MI March 05, 2016 Dryer making a minor rumbling noise like a bad bearing Unplugged the dryer. Took the front off the dryer. Two screws and it lifts out. Spun the drum by hand and noticed a minor sound coming from the blower wheel (fan). Checked the belt and pulled the drum out and checked the motor bearings. Everything seemed fine. The front dryer panel has a duct section where the lint gets blown up to the screen. This was plugged solid with lint. Completely cleaned it out and reassembled dryer. Ran dryer and it still had the original rumbling noise. Wrote down model number and ordered blower, clamp and snap ring. I also ordered a belt. Might as well replace it while I'm in there. Spent about an hour an a half diagnosing and a half hour installing parts. Ordered parts on Monday and I had them by Thursday. Read More...
