Whirlpool WP3394196 Seal, Blower Shaft OEM Part

It took two repair attempts to fix the dryer. At first, I noticed that the rear felt seal was completely worn out, so I thought that extra friction between the tub and the rear panel might be causing the motor to have to work too hard and overheat. I ordered a new seal from appliancepartspros.com, and installed it according to their instructional video, but it did not correct the problem. Then I decided that the motor must be going bad, so I watched the on-line video on how to remove the motor and detached it from the blower fan. Then I removed the motor form our dryer, basically just like the video showed. The video had also mentioned that the old blower fan may be stuck or get damaged and that it may need to be chiseled off, which actually did happen to me. However, the video also showed how to do that, so it wasn't difficult to do. I ordered a new motor and blower fan on a Friday morning and the parts arrived on Tuesday afternoon. The installation went very well and within an hour the dryer was working like new. I also recently had to replace the element in our dishwasher and the main electronics module in our stove and those repairs went just as smooth and easy. I really appreciate the installation and repair videos that are available on appliancepartspros,com, as well as their large selection of part and their extremely reasonable prices, as well as their reasonable shipping fees and their return 365-Day, any part, any reason return policy.

Took it apart. Replaced various general maintenance parts, rollers, seals, clean out all the lint and replaced motor and put a new blower on it.

Replaced the motor, blower, rear drum felt seal, and drive belt. Vacuumed up the lint everywhere, cleaned extra lint out of the chute, around the blower, and rear vents.

Replaced the motor. While in there, I replaced the blower wheel because it was fused to the old motor, the rear drum support wheels, and the seal on the lint screen housing. Everything was an exact fit with no drama. Never having done this before, it took a while (and some skin) to align everything as it went back together. Especially the drum alignment and the front panel with the clips at the bottom and the screws at the top (a two person job in our house). Otherwise, after watching the videos on YouTube, the job was smoother to accomplish than I had imagined it would be. Thanks especially for the videos!

Changed the motor The wiring was a little tricky since my motor wasnt an exact replacement I didnt have the plugin connector Had to cut wires and use the supplied stake ons The wire numbers are printed on the wires towards the ends So not to bad Taking the motor out didnt go to well the blower wheel didnt come off easy Had to break it off Smacked in center of wheel opposite motor with a hammer It cracked right off Afetr finding correct spot to align motor Went back together fairly easy
