Craig from IA
Problem
While replacing the dryer motor in my Maytag I found the blower wheel had cracks and could fail completely. I ordered a new blower wheel from PartsDr and installed it as I reassembled my dryer.
Tools
Pliers, snapring pliers, 1/4" nutdriver
Repair & Advice
The dryer is over 30 years old. When removing the blower wheel to replace the dryer motor I found cracks in the blower wheel hub where it clamps on the motor shaft. There were marks in the blower housing where the blower wheel had been rubbing. It would fail completely very soon.
