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.

Michael S Mount Pleasant , PA August 11, 2015 Dryer was making loud noise until it finally shut off I have no clue when it comes to appliances. My dryer was really loud all of a sudden and ended up turning off completely. I started taking it apart with hopes of finding an issue or easy fix. I got the front off and found my blower and exhaust clogged with lint and thought that was the fix. It wasn't. The sound was actually a clamp from the blower. It came off and when the machine was running the clamp was rolling through the blower making a loud sound. It finally cracked the blower. I checked on this website on how to repair it and 3 days later after getting the new blower in the mail it was fixed easily. Very thankful for the videos on the site and the ease of ordering. Will use again if another appliance breaks! Highly recommend. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
