My one wish is that all instructional videos on KZread were this good. Great video! Replaced my motor and dryer is back to normal

Thank you for posting, I was able to diagnose and repair with a used motor i purchased for $50, a new one was $100. Took me a lot longer than you, but I got paid $12 in in change I found in the bottom of the dryer :-)

Just changed mine out after ordering a new motor. Since I was there I changed the belt too. Cost was around 50 bucks and I did not have to borrow a truck to buy a new one. Thanks for the video. I could not have done it with the printed directions. This video was what did the trick.

+Kevin VanHeulen We are glad we could help.

First let me say thank you for the video. It was helpful. Now I have to say doing in real life is not as easy as it looks here. The retaining clips on the motor only come out if you curse them. Loosening the motor from the blower is also trickier than it looks here. Mine came off but the plastic was busted. Luckily I had a scrap dryer with the same blower down the road. I had to totally disassemble the scrap one then come back home and remove the back of the dryer I was working on to reinstall the blower. And getting the motor clips back in requires a triple cursing. At the end of the day the job did get done. The dryer now has a new belt, tumblers, tensioner and motor to boot. My wife loves this dryer so I will be ordering parts to replace all the guts again just in case.

Tried to twist off the motor from the blower as instructed and crushed the plastic blower square nut. Had to angle grind off the blower and replace it too.

Great video, it really helped out. May I suggest removing the motor first or just buying a new fan and foam tape seals along with your motor. Mine would not release I had two adjustable wrenches tightened down snug and wound up stripping tie plastic square of the back of the blower fan. I had to cut the center out of the fan with an oscillating saw to remove it from the motor. The threaded brass insert in the fan looks like it has loc-tite on it. Anyway waiting for my fan and foam tape to arrive so I can finish the job. I did find a ton of stuff stuck in the lint vent and was a good thing I took it apart since it could have resulted in a fire in the future. Hope everyone elses experience goes smoother than mine. Once again TY for the video.

You guys do some clearly stated, well lit, and professional videos. Thanks!

EXCELLENT video, spot on!!! I looked online and found a motor and had it overnighted, which was 1/2 the price of any local business wanted. Anyone can see from your video that the motor is reverse threaded, so that wasn't an issue. However, as you mentioned, the old motor was nearly impossible to get off. When I switched gears and used a channel lock on the rear, and 7/8's socket on the front, it broke loose fairly easy. Using a wrench on both nearly destroyed the rear blower wheel. Thanks!!!

Thanks, this looks pretty straightforward and is clearly presented. Saved me a lot of money and avoided buying a new dryer for no real reason.

my blower wheel was frozen also. I did manage to get it off by attaching vise grips to the motor shaft. then I placed a pc of wood underneath where the vise grip handle touched the bottom of the dryer. I removed the blower shroud in the back. I then rotated the blower wheel back and with as much force as I could get, I struck the pc of wood(with the locked vise grips) three or four times. this eventually broke the frozen bind on the motors shaft. good luck for the next guy w/ this prob.

Thank you so much. This saved me hundreds of dollars! Your videos are very easy to follow and just the right length. I agree with some of the comments on removing the old motor. I had no problems using two vice grips to release it without it stripping, just be prepared to use some muscle. Thanks again!

You might need to find a socket that will fit the nut and use a long handle ratchet wrench. Sometimes they just will not come off without breaking the wheel . You will need to hold the belt side of the motor shaft with another wrench. You need to be very careful because when the wheel does come loose your hand can slip off and get cut from the sharp metal.

Super helpful video! Glad I didn't have mess with the wiring on the new motor. When taking the fan off spray the best you can with penetrant and find the biggest plyers you have for the front and back that will fit for the leverage. Should loosen right up.

I followed along with this video and everything went as shown. Thanks for the clear instructions. The rear motor clip was tough, I used pliers to bend it a bit and it went on.

Having that mentioned in the video would have been awesome. I absolutely annihilated that thing.

Great video. To echo some other comments, here was my experience that might help someone in the future: - Use vice grips on the square nylon nut that connects fan to motor shaft. A wrench will just slip and round the nut edges. Vice grips grab better. My dryer is 10+ years old, and nylon nut remained mostly okay after the grips. - The motor shaft into nylon fan nut is REVERSE threaded. Righty loosy on that one! Force required, might need light hammer tap on the wrench holding motor shaft. - Front motor clip not too bad. Rear clip removal is difficult. Recommend vice grips or slip joint pliers to hold the left side clip's "lip", then pry using flathead driver. The pliers provide more edge, so driver has better leverage and won't slip off. - Rear motor clip replacement: get a skinny piece of wood, maybe a heavy dowel rod. Place right side of clip over the locking sheet metal finger. Put left side of clip in place over finger. Place dowel on left side lip, tap dowel with hammer to engage left side finger. - The rest is as easy as the video indicates.

Great video. Thank you for posting it and making the motor swap a simple task.

Thanks! We appreciate the comment.

Wish I had took the time to read all the comments before stripping my fan with wrenches (just like the ones in the video) - that impact wrench suggestion is golden. However, if you strip the fan plastic like I did, you can still get the fan off fairly easily by taking the back off the dryer, then taking the lint trap chute off, and then hitting the fan in the center with a hammer until it cracks in half (I only had to smack it a few times). In any case, thanks for the clear (and especially concise) video. I hate it when you have to wait fifty years for the video to get to the point, and through the repair. I don't mind pressing pause at all.

Underrated comment, and to clarify, you would need to purchase a new fan. Once the fan is broken, you can pull the motor right out essentially.

Took me a little longer than 20 minutes--after 15 years, it was hard to get those motor clips off and the screw attachment to come loose. The line "may need a little force" is true. THANK YOU for a great tutorial and shipping the parts when promised. The dryer is running nice and quiet.

For those without an impact wrench, I used my largest ratchet with 7/8 socket on the front and very tightly clamped vice grips to the rear nylon nut. I held the vice grips as stationary as I could while turning the ratchet to the right, clockwise (upward). The torque from the large ratchet helped easily break free and loosen the nut from the motor.

Great video. Only suggestion would be to also buy the blower wheel, as in my case it was frozen to the motor and was not coming off.

The blower fan is very difficult to get off. If you are not careful, you will break it. I used some automotive penetrant (Liquid Wrench, Kroil, PB Blaster, MouseMilk, etc...) and "gently" struck the blower disc with a hammer before attempting to get it off. Also, leave the front bracket on while attempting to loosen the blower from the motor to give it some stability. A wrench on the front end is useless, use a socket (should be 22mm) and ratchet. After a good amount of force, the threads will release suddenly so wear protective gloves and watch out for sharp edges. Remember, the blower fan is REVERSE THREADED. Don't use the socket to tighten the blower onto the new motor as the blower and pulley wheel are opposite threads and you'll end up just threading the pulley wheel off. Use the wrench or vicegrips on the shaft.

Great videos! Very thorough and direct. I found my motor was bad because when I spun it, it wasn't smooth. So I vacuumed it all up and found a local motor online I'll pick up, and as I was trying to remove the bad motor I kind of crushed the long plastic rectangular nut, housing a metal nut (in your video it is metal) where the motor would thread into. It was getting late but I noticed that the motor spun smooth for a good minute. So I practiced putting it back together and it ran haha. It'll probably act up immediately so my next plan of action is to check behind to see what the motor connects to. Got any tips?

If you go to our website and plug in the model numbers of your dryers it will show the parts that are compatible with your dryers. If the dryers take the same motor or heating elements, you can switch them out.

Good video. Explains everyrhing needed to change the motor. At 1:55 when it says you may need to use force he is not kidding. A few times i thoight i would strip the nut. It dis work and the reat went smooth.

Great video. It really helped a lot. To all who are watching this though, don't expect the inside of your dryer to look this clean. Also, make sure the screwdriver you use to get the clips off is pretty substantial. The back one can be hard to get to if you're working in a small laundry room and you'll need the extra oomph, especially when you're putting it back on.

The back clip was a nightmare, yes! The front one just popped right off.

Good video and very helpful. One thing that was not clear to me after watching the video the first time was that the motor is reverse threaded. Instead of replacing the motor I was able to lubricate the bearings with motor oil and it rotated like new again. Not sure how long it will last but its running great right now.

Another tip if you can't get those stiff motor retaining clips back on. Or if you have trouble getting them off. Buy a big honking flat blade screwdriver with the tip at least 3/8 inch wide. Use a grinder or file to cut a wide notch into the tip with a raised "ear" on each side. This tool will now grab onto the retaining clips without slipping off, a tap with a hammer will unseat or reseat the clip onto its locking tab. And yes, video does make it look easy when dryer is not 10 years old.

Wondering if the clear plastic bit that is by the motor support tab -closer toward the front of the motor by the belt- will effect the functionality of the entire motor itself? I recently found mine warped out of shape and broken when I opened my unit up

excellent video! Thanks!

I managed to repair the motor in place - the centrifugal switch weights - one had lost the spring perch, I simply used the new ones and put them in place of the old ones and viola all good !

This is a great video though I did have trouble with the nut. My dryer got about 18" of water in a flood. There is power to the motor and the shaft spins freely. Not sure if replacing the motor will fix the dryer or if it is likely that a control board or some other component got wet and stopped it for working.

You may want to mention to vacuum the dryer out and also remove the back panel and duct to clean.

Good video however that is a detail that should be mentioned and is vital to doing the job. It might be common knowledge to people who do these all the time but the avg Joe might not know it. Btw the piece in the back is plastic also so if someone doesn’t know this they could ruin that piece on the back causing an even bigger issue.

Can you replace just the two bushing’s on each side of motor? Or is it a whole unit? My motor works but it vibrates from worm out bushing’s

I couldn't get the motor axle to unscrew from the blower fan. It was impossible even with strong vise grips. I had to use a reciprocating saw to cut the motor from the blower fan. Then, I had to open up the back and also replace the blower fan.

can I change a motor in a Kenmore dryer with one from a whirlpool both electric? if not are the heating interchangeable? I have two dryers one the motor is week and the other will not heat.

I recently replaced the dryer motor. Now the tub spins counter clockwise, and makes a stripped gear type noise when loaded full. Is the new motor wired different than the old, and is the drum supposed to rotate counter clockwise ? It seems to me it used to spin clockwise.

Whats that thing behind the motor that you're holding steady to unscrew the motor called? Mine was plastic? I'm replacing the motor and I suspect I need a new one of those too.

This video helped allot, but after I rounded the plastic on the first attempt to lose the shaft, I realized if I put the front clamp band back on, that would help hold the motor steady. After I put the front clamp back on, the motor steady, my next attempt worked.Thank you very much for the help.

Greg Stauffer Glad it was useful to you!

The dryer motor start switch is usually the failure point and it's easy to fix. Just take the switch off of the motor by removing the screws. It almost falls apart. It has these leaf like springs with contacts at the end. File the contacts until they are clean and flat. You may notice that the leaf spring is sort of weak, so bend it a bit so it pushes the contact closed with more force. Re-assemble and you are likely good to go. It doesn't hurt to clean the spinning hinge mechanism that controls the switch and oil it a bit. Make sure everything moves smoothly. I bought the cheap motor from Amazon and it was so loud my wife hated it. So I repaired my old motor as described above. It has worked perfectly for a year now. If it is too bad to repair, buy the expensive motor.

My question is .can I just buy the switch or it's a one piece with the motor. Also the heat stays on fire its off

Great video!!

I am about to embark on this little adventure, but could you please clarify a couple of things? There are a lot of comments about reverse threading, but if I do exactly what is in the video, won't that eliminate any reverse threading concerns? Also, I've seen comments about using a socket, but I don't see where I could use one unless I removed the metal and plastic parts on the very front of the shaft. Can someone explain please? I have zero mechanical abilities, so this is really a challenging project for me. Thanks!

The electric harness to my motor was screwed onto it. When I took the screws off, the "harness" fell apart revealing copper plates that looked to connect similar colored wires - blue to blue, white to yellow. The red and the black wires had already separated so I am guessing, hoping, that they also match up when installing the new motor. The two clamps holding the motor were difficult to remove. I had to use a hammer and chisel.

Is the motor reverse thread?

Just as an FYI, the dryer motor and fan unit have REVERSE threads. Hold the blower motor nut REAL tight, and turn the dryer motor nut CLOCKWISE. After almost shredding the plastic nut, I watched his hands in the video again, went over to the dryer, turned the nut the correct direction, and it came apart right away.

Cant get the back clip to go back on

TIP - Great video, but I had the same problem as many getting the blower fan loose. I used the two wrenches per the video and started to round out the blower fan plastic nut. What I ended up doing was getting a super tight wrench on the pastic nut, and turned it so it wedged against one of the drum rollers. Then I used a socket and an impact wrench on the front of the motor. The impact was able to jar the plastic nut loose right away.. I also had to take the bolt of of the motor mount bracket in order to remove the braket so I could slide the motor straight out away from the blower fan. For some reason I couldn't get it slid out all the way at an angle. Hope this helps someone.
