It was a bit confusing trying to get the old motor out so it was you tube to the rescue. That simplified the issue and took the stress factor out of the equation.

Repair & Advice
I was about ready to give up and trash the dryer. After inspecting everything else inside I determined it had to be the motor. Everything else still looked pristine inside. Apparently motor problems for Samsung dryers are not all that common, but I remember exactly when it went bad. The dryer had been badly overloaded. I watched an expert on youtube to see how to tear it down. It really wasn't difficult at all. Parts Dr shipped the new motor very quickly, and after swapping motors my dryer is like new again for a fraction of the price of a new dryer. I get a real feeling of satisfaction for a job well done.
