Thank you 1000 times. Only had an issue with getting the blower wheel off. I used a socket over the bolt and tapped until the wheel started to give and the bolt started to push away. Years of use had it frozen on tight. But your video is spot on excellent. Thank you.

We're having this same issue, with the blower wheel, it's not budging

So, if you do this job - please note an important couple of steps that's are not really referenced in the reassembly! I learned the hard way, so head this comment. When you install the motor (4:06 mark) make sure it's aligned properly on the mounts and, at the 4:38 mark, be sure you spin the blower wheel around a few times to make sure it's spinning freely. IF the motor is only slightly too forward or too back on the mounts, it will cause the blower wheel to hit/bind up on the housing! I learned this the hard way, went through the whole job and then had to tear everything back down because the motor was pulling the blower wheel out of place by probably 1/32 of an inch and binding up the wheel. Also note, the motor I received had the belt drive (rear of motor) screwed on, and the threads are "normal" which means when I tightened the blower-wheel nut (reverse thread - reference 4:35 mark in this video), it actually "broke loose" the nut that drives the belt. So, I had to basically get a bind on the blower-wheel blades (not the nut) so I could re-tighten it. Just a note for reference, my dryer is a Samsung DV337AEG/XAA which has a plastic housing around the blower vs. metal in the video but I'm fairly certain my statement above holds true for both.

Nice short and concise video, saved me some coin by doing this myself, THANKS.

Thanks for breaking these steps down Barney style. As I got further along in Disassembling it, I started worrying about how I was going to put it all back together because I lost track of my steps. Love how you showed how to put it back together step by step. Just installed a new motor and so far it has worked through 2 cycles.

Thanks for this excellent repair video. My Samsung dryer belt snapped yesterday. I decided to replace the drive motor on the unit at the same time I did the belt, since the dryer is about 8 years old. Everything went very smoothly this afternoon. Piece of cake. And I saved a fair amount of money.

Best repair video I have seen. Concise, clear, step-by-step guidance. Everything A first timer (me) needed and nothing more. The inclusion of reassembly steps was a major benefit! Great job! Thanks.

Thank you very much for the details and step by step instructions. I was able to fix my own Samsung dryer today :) You have done humanity lots of goods already.

Yes, this is correct. The mounting nut is reverse threaded.

If the blower gets stuck to the motor you can take a drill bit and drill out the center of the motor shaft and continue to go bigger. This worked for me and saved my blower fan!

Awesome instructions!! Changed my dryer motor with ease. Thanks so much for creating and posting!

Thx for video , I replaced the motor and back in business !

Really good video and a lifesaver. My only slight critique would be that the order of the screws going back in at the end was different than the way they came out, and I got things a little out of order, but maybe that was as much on me as on you guys. Anyway, thanks again!

Excellent instructional video. Thank you for posting.

Great video - Changed my Motor on my samsung front load dryer even though it was a different model. For those with a blown motor it might just be easier buying the whole Motor Assembly with blower. Saves the trouble of having to take out the motor clips and removing the blower fan. (Not that those steps were that hard) NICE Write. Saved me a few hundred bucks if not more

May I knw how much cost for replacement for the motor?

My dryer starts, then it makes this clacking noise and my dryer turns off. Is that a bad symptom of the motor or something else? I teplaced all drum rollers and the pulley? Not sure what else it could be

Worked like a champ!! Thank You!!!

It is very helpful video showing step by step. However last step to remove drive motor states use wrench to secure motor shaft and 14 millimeter socket to rotate the mounting nut CLOCKWISE to remove. I have never seen nuts rotated CLOCKWISE to remove and COUNTERCLOCKWISE to secure Is this is a correct instruction? I have been following your instruction and unable to remove the nut as well as mother. Please help.

To do this I found a tool (in my case a vice grip) that was short enough to "hold onto" the belt drive nut and swing down to touch the bottom of the dryer. Then I could put pretty good torque (clockwise) on the nut and got it loose.

After reassembling there are two LONG screws left. Can’t find in video where he removed or replaced long screws. Can someone tell me where they go?

These instructions are fantastic. However, I'm stuck. The video shows the tech easily pulling the blower wheel off of the motor shaft. However, mine will absolutely not come off. It rotates very slightly, but will not move forward and off of the motor shaft. Any suggestions for how to get the blower wheel to begin moving?

@repairclinic

The blower wheel will sometimes get stuck on the shaft. The problem is there is no way to get to get behind it to knock it off. The only thing you can do is spray some penetrating oil on the shaft and try grabbing the wheel at the edges and wiggling it back and forth. You can also try tapping the blower at the shaft to break it loose . If all else fails you may have to break the old one off and replace it with a new one.

This happened to me also on a 7-year old samsung. I didn't want to sacrifice the blower wheel. Instead I removed the screws below the motor and removed the whole motor and blower assembly. Then I removed the motor mount clips so the blower wheel could move back and rest on the housing. Then I supported the housing, motor down, and tapped on the shaft with a hammer. It came off.

Awesome video! I have a motor that will only buzz and will not rotate the drum any longer. I have taken apart the unit as shown, but after using my air compressor to blow all the excess fuzz and hair out of the unit, I seem to have a couple extra parts (never a good thing). I have a very small silver spring and a small piece of metal that was just sitting in the bottom of the dryer assembly pan not attached to anything. Any thoughts on what they might be?

Yes, this is what was wrong with my motor also. I had those parts sitting on the bottom of the dryer. I believe these parts are part of the centrifugal start mechanism which will prevent the motor from starting.

I’ve passed the part of taking the net off and I’m putting the nut back on but the thread seems to be going the same direction as the motor shaft thread. Is that correct? Also I had accidentally put the wires on wrong on the fuse. So the dryer is not heating up. Would that have blown the fuse once I’ve corrected it. Should I order another fuse?

Good video. I'm kinda disappointed that this dryer isn't at all like mine,visually, yet when I opened it it was exactly the same as this one. Wth Samsung.

I watched a couple of your video's now, this one and one for a Thermal fuse replacement. My Samsung dryer stopped. When I hit the start button I hear a slight humming sound and nothing happens. There was also a smell of something hot. Do you think it's the motor? Thank you

Sometimes the blower wheel nuts can be difficult to remove. It may help to use larger wrenches with longer handles to give you more torque. A cordless impact driver (if you don't own one, perhaps you could borrow one from a friend) would also be a good way to remove the nut. Sometimes just sliding a pipe over the handle of the ratchet that is 4 to 5 inches longer would also help. The only problem there is finding the right size pipe. Hope this helps.

my samsung is model dv45h7000gw, after loading clothes it and pressing start, it will start and run for about 5-7 seconds, then shut off, then automatically start again for another 5-7 seconds, repeating this over and over, there is also a smell of something hot, do you think this could be a motor issue or a thermal fuse

So what if you replace the motor and put it back together and then when you push play to run a load there is no noise what so ever. What does that mean?
