Does this part have left handed threads. Mine does, but i know that a lot of models have right handed threads. (depending on where motor is mounted). I don't want to order this part and i get the one with right handed threads.
For model number PYGT344AWW

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your inquiry. The pulley has left handed threads. To remove the motor pulley you would turn to the left. You would turn left to loosen and right to tighten. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My drive shaft pulley has broken into pieces and i cannot remove the dome shaped piece, is there a trick to getting it off?
For model number HYE3658AYW

Hi Nicole, Thank you for your question. You should not be removing anything from the motor other than the little pulley as pictured underneath this part information. Everything else cannot be removed from the motor. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

The motor pulley I took out does not look like the replacement part. Has the part changed?
For model number LNC8764A71

Hello Julie, Thank you for the question. The pulley just screws onto the shaft of the motor. Hope this helps!

Is the motor pulley one piece? The current one is two pieces with the pulley and then a left threaded nut that screws on over the threaded motor shaft to keep the belt on the pulley. This appears to have become stripped over time and i just need the nut.
For model number MCE8000AYW

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes the motor pulley is one piece that goes on the motor and looks like a nut. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do I install the spring when I replace the belt with the guide roll?
For model number CYG2000AWW

Hi Ronny, Thank you for the question. One end of the spring hooks onto the bar and the other end on the motor plate in the unit. Hope this helps!

Can you show me exactly about the idler spring where to hook it on the motor unit plate e. G. In a picture?
For model number CYG2000AWW

Hi Ronny,
Thank you for your question. At the base of the dryer there will be a slot and a round opening. Hook the round end of the spring on the idler arm. Install the hooked end of the spring into the slot and move it along the slot until the hooked end of the spring aligns and can be pulled up and through the round opening near the end of the slot. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

broken pulley and belt
Before anything else, I would like to thank your company for a quick response and fast delivery of the parts that I ordered. Ordering parts from your company saved me a lot of money. The repair took me about 15 min. First I removed the two screws that hold the front cover and then I pulled out the drum and replaced the broken pulley, then I put back the drum and the belt in place and then I put the cover and screwed back in and now I'm back washing and drying pile of clothes.

Drive pulley wore out
Item # PS11740721 motor drive pulley. This has a 3/8-24 reverse thread inner bore. Fit my Maytag model MDE508DAYW dryer made by Whirlpool, with drive motor on the lower right below the counterclockwise rotating drum and exhaust blower at the front of the machine. It might work with a number of brands of dryers made by Whirlpool with that configuration. Check the motor shaft thread and the drive belt which is a 5 rib belt 5/16ths inch or 8 mm wide. For Joe Blow the local appliance repair places only quote replacing the motor and pulley as a unit. At $170.

It might work with a number of brands of dryers made by Whirlpool with that configuration and maybe others.

No wobble after installation. Very Easy installation compared to the Cup shaped.
Dryer is working!
Greg D - June 4, 2019

Great up grade!
This part is a great up grade from the original. This is NOT cheap pot metal. It will last years and not damage my belt!
A perfect fit!

Factory part failed
After figuring out how to remove what was left of the old pully, the replacement was easily installed.
Paula A - January 11, 2019

Correct replacement part
This pulley replaces the factory one that has a bell housing on the motor side. I removed the broken pulley by getting vice grips on the old bell housing and holding the motor from turning with a screwdriver through the motor (unplugged). Remember this pulley has reverse threads. Dryer is working great again.
